Context:

• Defence Research and Development Organisation, DRDO, successfully test fired indigenously developed Quick Reach Surface-to-Air missiles, QRSAMs, from ITR Chandipur, off the Odisha Coast.
• The two missiles were tested for different altitude and conditions. The test flights successfully demonstrated the robust Control, aerodynamics, propulsion, structural performance and high manoeuvring capabilities thus proving the design configuration.
• Radars, Electro-Optical Systems, Telemetry and other stations have tracked the Missiles and monitored through the entire flight. All the mission objectives have been met.
• The indigenously developed state-of-the-art QRSAM will significantly boost the defence capabilities of the armed forces.
