Emad (Persian: عماد) is an Iranian-designed, liquid-fuel, intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) with a claimed range of 1,700 km and 1,750 kg payload. The missile was presented by Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan on 11 October 2015.[1][2] Emad features a newly designed reentry vehicle with a more advanced guidance and control system, making it the country's first IRBM that is precision-guided.[3][4][5][6][7]
With an advanced guidance and control system in its nose cone, the missile's accuracy is reported to be around 500 meters.[1][8][9] The missile, which appears to be another variant of the Shahab-3, will be delivered to the armed forces some time in 2016.
