## Description

The Emad can carry a 750 kg payload at a range of 1700 km[2] with 10 m accuracy. It uses a new nose cone design, which is different from that of the original Shahab-3. The changed design may also make it possible for the warhead to detonate high above a target, which makes it more suitable for an air burst chemical, biological[3] or nuclear weapon detonation, as well as for nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack.[1]

The missile was presented by Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan on 11 October 2015.[4][5] 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.[6][7][8][9][10] The missile features a Maneuverable reentry vehicle (MARV).[11]

The missile has an advanced guidance and control system in its nose cone, and it is said to have an accuracy of about 50 meters.[4][12][13] The missile, which appears to be another variant of the Shahab-3, was expected to be delivered to the armed forces some time in 2016.
