Balasore: As part of Army evaluation trials, India has successfully completed six flight tests of the Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) system from the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur off the coast of Odisha, according to the DRDO.

According to the statement, the flight tests were conducted using fast-moving aerial targets to simulate various threats in order to assess how well the weapon systems would perform in those circumstances.

"During these tests, all the mission objectives were met establishing pin-point accuracy of the weapon system with state-of-the-art guidance and control algorithms, including warhead chain," the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said in a statement.

The performance of the system has been confirmed from the data captured by a number of range instruments like telemetry and Radar and Electro-Optical Tracking Systems (EOTS) deployed by ITR, it said. The tests were conducted in the final deployment configuration consisting of all indigenously-developed sub-systems, including the missile with indigenous Radio Frequency (RF) seeker, mobile launcher, fully automated command and control system, surveillance and multi-function radars, the statement said.

The uniqueness of the QRSAM weapon system is that it can operate on the move with search and track capability, and fire on short halt, the DRDO said.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has complimented the DRDO and Indian Army on the successful flight trials.

The system is now ready for induction into the Army, the statement added.
