The ground range instrumentation from ITR and the radar located near the impact point tracked the missile trajectory and monitored all the parameters from launch, the source said.
As Prithvi has gone into production, one of the products from the assembly line picked up at random might be test-fired.
The test launch was conducted from INS Subhadra, about 40 nautical miles from Chandipur in the sea, at around 2.30 pm, sources said.
After a vertical lift-off at 12.15 pm from launch pad number three at the ITR, 15 km from Balasore, the surface-to-surface missile rose into the sky leaving behind a ribbon of white smoke, defence sources said.
Defence sources said the missile, which was launched from a mobile launcher at 3.15 pm, successfully hit a target attached to a pilotless target aircraft.
With a launch weight of 4.6 tonne which included payload of one tonne, Prithvi can use both solid as well as liquid propellant.
Trishul has triple battlefield role for the army, air force and navy and can engage targets like aircraft and helicopters by using its radar command-to-line-of-sight guidance.
The sleek missile was fired from a mobile launcher at about 4.15 pm. It was targeted at a para-barrel dropped from a chopper, the sources said.
'Akash' is part of Indian's Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme.
Weighing about 700 kilogrammes, the sophisticated missile uses an integral ramjet rocket propulsion system and has a low reaction time.

The missile test was conducted on the same day India and Pakistan signed an agreement in Islamabad formalizing their long-standing practice of notifying each other of plans for ballistic missile tests.
It was the naval version of Prithvi, which has a range of 250 to 300 km.
The missile, which has a launch weight of 700 kg, can carry a warhead of 60 kg and operated in conjunction with a Rajendra surveillance and engagement radar being developed by the Electronic Research and Development Establishment.
Pillai said the exports and induction of the missile in the armed forces would be carried out simultaneously.
The supersonic cruise missile was fired from a mobile launcher at 12:10pm amidst heavy rains caused by a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal, which crossed the Orissa coast around the same time.
With a range of 25km, Akash is one of the five missiles currently under development by the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
Akash was aimed at a target attached to Lakshya, the pilotless target aircraft.
The sophisticated multi-target missile was test fired from a mobile launcher at about 1230 IST.
Lakshya is the indigenously developed Pilotless Target Aircraft.
The missile was aimed at a moving object, sources said.
The supersonic anti-ship cruise missile was jointly developed by India and Russia.
The missile test was carried out from a mobile launcher from launch complex-3 of the Integrated Test Range at about 10 am, defence officials said.
The indigenously built multi-target missile has a range of 25km and is one of the five missiles under various stages of development by the DRDO.
Astra is an indigenously developed air-to-air missile.
DRDO scientists, who conducted the test, described it as a user's trial.
It hit a target dropped from an AN-32 aircraft.
The indigenously built multi-target missile can carry a 50kg payload.
India successfully test-fired its indigenously developed nuclear capable sub-sonic cruise missile 'Nirbhay', which can strike targets more than 700 kms away, from a test range at Chandipur near Balasore in Odisha on Friday.
After achieving the precision guidance capability from a fixed launcher in its fourth trial on October 29 last, the missile was on Sunday test-fired from a mobile launcher.
The missile, weighing 650kg, can carry a 50kg payload over a distance of 25km.
This variant of the missile takes just 300 seconds to reach a target located at a distance of 150km.
The missile targeted a floating object supported by the pilot-less target aircraft 'Lakshya', defence officials said.
