India: India Successfully Flight Tests System Enabling Missile To Intercept Threats

NEW DELHI, 09 April 2022, (TON): Defence Research and Development Organisation successfully flight-tested a propulsion system that enables a missile to intercept aerial threats at very long range at supersonic speeds.

The Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet booster was tested at the integrated test range in Chandipur off the coast of Odisha.

Officials said “the successful trial of the SFDR is expected to help the DRDO in extending the range of air-to-air missiles.”

The SFDR-based propulsion enables a missile to intercept aerial threats at very long range at supersonic speeds.

The defence ministry said the flight testing of the SFDR was successful and it demonstrated the reliable functioning of all critical components involved in the complex missile system.
