Ghauri (missile) - Design

Design

The Ghauri design incorporates mechanisms that start spinning the single booster stage and warhead combination from approximately 10 seconds before termination of the powered flight at 110 seconds. At this point the warhead is separated from the rocket booster stage to fly on a re-entry trajectory that remains stable to its target. With the addition of GPS targeting the warhead accuracy is greatly enhanced. The "revised" CEP of this system is 190 m. The United States government states that the Ghauri design is based on North Korea's Rodong-1 (also known as Nodong-1) missile
