Key Highlights 

  • Country’s QRSAM System achieved a major milestone when it directly hit a pilotless target aircraft (PTA) at medium range and medium altitude
  • The missile was launched from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur near Balasore in Odisha.
  • Propelled by a single-stage solid propellant rocket motor, the sophisticated missile uses indigenous subsystems. 
  • The missile is canisterised for transportation and launch using a mobile launcher, capable of carrying six canisterised missiles.
  • As per the defence sources, all QRSAM weapon system elements, like battery multifunction radar, battery surveillance radar, battery command post vehicle and mobile launcher, were deployed in the flight test 
  • The radar tracked the target — Banshee PTA — from the farthest range and the missile was launched when the target was within the kill zone.
