India has successfully conducted the maiden salvo launch of the indigenously developed Naval Anti-Ship Missile-Short Range.
India successfully test-fired two Pralay missiles in quick succession off the coast of Odisha, paving the way for its induction into the military. The missile is indigenously developed and features a state-of-the-art navigation system.
The system performance was also validated through the data captured by a number of radars, telemetry and electro-optical tracking system deployed by ITR, Chandipur.
The flight test fully met all the trial objectives validating complete network centric warfare weapon system, the defence ministry said.
By the time the enemy aircraft is 50 km away, the Akash-NG's computers have calculated the launch trajectory and impact point and launched the missile.
The vehicle can be used as an aerial target for evaluation of various missile systems.
This MRSAM version is a surface-to-air missile developed jointly by DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries for use by the Indian Army.
India on Saturday successfully test-fired indigenously developed ballistic missiles 'Prithvi-II' and 'Dhanush' from different locations off the Orissa coast, adding more firepower to the armed forces.
On both the occasions, the missiles intercepted the simulated targets with pinpoint accuracy. The missiles were tested for minimum and maximum range.
