India has successfully test-fired a first-of-its-kind naval anti-ship missile from Chandipur off the coast of Odisha.
\nThe trials carried out on Tuesday demonstrated the missile’s capability against ship targets, the defence ministry said.<\/p>\n
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy for successfully conducting the flight tests of the missile.<\/p>\n
The DRDO and the Navy carried out successful flight trials of the first-of-its-kind Naval Anti-Ship missile (NASM-SR) from Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, the ministry said.<\/p>\n
“The trials demonstrated the missile’s capability against ship targets while launched from an Indian Naval Seaking helicopter,” the ministry said.<\/p>\n
It said the “trials have proven the missile’s Man-in-Loop feature and scored a direct hit on a small ship target in sea-skimming mode at its maximum range.” The missile uses an indigenous imaging infra-red seeker for terminal guidance.<\/p>\n
The mission also has demonstrated the high bandwidth two-way datalink system, which is used to transmit the seeker’s live images back to the pilot for in-flight retargeting, the ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The missile has been developed by different labs of DRDO including Research Centre Imarat, Defence Research and Development Laboratory, High Energy Materials Research Laboratory and Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
