For the first time, Long Range Surface to Air Missile (LRSAM), jointly
designed and developed by IAI, Israel and DRDO, has been successfully
flight tested from an Israeli Naval Platform. The missile successfully
engaged and destroyed the incoming air target. |

All
the subsystems of the missile performed as predicted and achieved the
desired goal of hitting the incoming target. DRDO has designed and developed
Dual Pulse Propulsion System and other safe arm mechanisms for Solid
Propulsion system for the first time. This test from Israel Naval Platform
achieved the major milestone in proving the missile system with complete
participation of the Ship Borne Tracking Equipment etc. The missile configuration is same for both LRSAM/MRSAM. Further Operational Flight Trials (O.F.T) will be conducted shortly from Indian Naval Platform before induction into the service. LRSAM will be inducted into Indian Navy Kolkata class Destroyers (P-15A). The LRSAM programme consists of Missiles, MFSTAR (Radar), Weapon Control System, Vertical Launcher unit and Two- way data link. |
