In an important step towards its induction, the indigenously developed Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) achieved a direct hit on to a pilotless target aircraft at medium range and altitude in a test conducted by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The launch took place from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, off Odisha coast around 3.30 pm.

During the test, radars tracked the pilotless target from the farthest range and the missile was launched when target was within kill zone, achieving direct hit.
Defence Research and Development Laboratory and Research Centre Imarat in Hyderabad; Electronic and Radar Development Establishment, Bangalore; Research and Development Establishment (Engineers), Pune; Instruments Research and Development Establishment, Dehradun; and Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, took part in the test. The DRDO said the test was a “major milestone” achieved by the QRSAM.
