This missile system will significantly enhance the capabilities of the Indian Navy. During the test, this state-of-the-art missile hit its target with pinpoint accuracy under all the specified conditions and completely destroyed it.

According to the Defence Ministry, this test has confirmed the reliability and accuracy of the missile. During the test, all the weapon system elements were deployed in combat configuration, including indigenous radio frequency seeker, multi-function radar and weapons control system.

The Defence Ministry said that the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy conducted the missile test on March 26 at around 12 noon from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur in Odisha. The test was conducted from a land-based vertical launcher against a high-speed aerial target, at very close range and low altitude. The test established the near-boundary-low altitude capability of the missile system.
