DRDO successfully test-fires Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile system; Rajnath Singh extends congratulations

New Delhi: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Tuesday (November 17, 2020) efficiently carried out the second test trials of the Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM).

The flight test, second within the collection was performed on Tuesday at round 3:42 PM from the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, off the coast of Odisha. 

“The test was carried out once again, against the high-performance Jet Unmanned Aerial Target called Banshee, which simulates an aircraft,” mentioned the Ministry of Defence.

They added, “The Radars acquired the target from a long-range and tracked it till the mission computer automatically launched the missile. Continuous guidance was provided through Radar data link. The missile entered the terminal active homing guidance and reached the target close enough for proximity operation of warhead activation.”

The Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO for the second profitable test trials of the QRSAM. Singh took to his official Twitter account and wrote, “Congratulations to DRDO for two back to back successful test trials of Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile. First launch test on 13th Nov proved the Radar and Missile capabilities with direct hit. Today’s test demonstrated the warhead performance on proximity detection.”

The flight test was performed within the deployment configuration of the weapon system comprising of Launcher, absolutely Automated Command and Control System, Surveillance System and Multi-Function Radars. 

The QRSAM weapon system, which may function on the transfer, consists of all indigenously developed subsystems. 

Quite a lot of vary devices like Radar, Telemetry and Electro-Optical Sensors have been deployed which captured the whole flight information and verified the efficiency of the missile.
