'Missile Rani': Meet Sheena Rani, the DRDO force behind Agni-5 missile with multiple warheads technology

“导弹女王”：希娜·拉尼，“烈火-5”多弹头导弹技术背后的DRDO专家

NEW DELHI: Missile expert R Sheena Rani spearheaded a Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) team that was behind India's first flight-test of Agni-5 missile with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) technology, which was launched on Monday from the Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast.

新德里：导弹专家希娜·拉尼领导的印度国防研究发展组织(DRDO)团队参与了印度“烈火-5”导弹的首次飞行试验，该导弹搭载了多弹头分导再入飞行器(MIRV)，于周一在奥里萨邦海岸外的阿卜杜勒卡拉姆岛发射。

The 57-year-old led the missile project as programme director at Hyderabad-based Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) of DRDO, which developed the missile with multiple nuclear warheads that has not only put India in an elite club of nations but also raised China's eyebrows as the 5,000-km-range missile covers almost all of India’s neighbouring country with its range.

希娜·拉尼现年57岁，为印度国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)先进系统实验室(ASL)的项目主任，领导了该导弹项目，该实验室开发了多枚核弹头的导弹，不仅使印度跻身精英国家俱乐部，还引起了中国的注意，因为这种5000公里射程的导弹覆盖了印度几乎所有的邻国。

She is also the associate director of DRDO’s ace lab ASL, which has developed several Agni variants.

她也是DRDO王牌实验室ASL的副主任，该实验室已经开发了几种“烈火”改型导弹。

Rani, who previously worked at Isro’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre for eight years, joined DRDO as a lateral entry in 1999 soon after the Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, and has been working for the country’s Agni missile programme since then. Though several Agni variants have been developed and inducted into the forces under the missile programme, the new MIRV technology is considered Rani’s crowning glory, as she put her heart and soul into develo it with her DRDO team, which also includes several women scientists. “I am really proud of being part of the Agni missile programme as the missiles are safeguarding the nation’s borders,” she said in a media interview earlier.

拉尼之前在印度空间研究组织的维克拉姆·萨拉布海航天中心工作了8年，1998年Pokhran-II核试验后不久，她于1999年加入印度国防研究与发展组织，此后一直为印度的“烈火”导弹项目工作。

尽管根据导弹计划，已经开发出了几种烈火导弹的改型，并将其引入部队，但新的分导多弹头技术被认为是拉尼的最高荣耀，因为她全身心地投入到与印度国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)团队的开发中，该团队还包括几名女科学家。

早些时候，她在接受媒体采访时表示：“我为参与烈火导弹计划感到非常自豪，因为这些导弹正在保卫国家的边界。”

During her stint in DRDO, Rani has won several awards, including the “scientist of the year award” in 2016.

在DRDO工作期间，拉尼赢得了多个奖项，包括2016年的“年度科学家奖”。

You must not publish the identity of the great scientists and engineers of the country who have great contribution to our defence technology making them vulnerable to the enemy countries. We are always highly grateful to them and offer our billion salutes. They should be provided highest security for their safety.

不能公布伟大的科学家和工程师的身份，他们对我们的国防技术做出了巨大贡献，如果公开，会使他们容易受到敌国的攻击。我们始终对他们深表感谢，向他们敬礼十亿次。我们应该为他们的安全提供最高的保障。

No one is thinking about the safety of scientists and the safety of technology. Openly publish details just for gain vote bank. Is there no any concern about national safety?

没有人考虑科学家和技术的安全，公开公布细节只是为了获得选票。难道不担心国家安全吗?
