Defence Research and Development Organization has successfully carried out the first salvo test of short-range anti-ship missiles, known as NASM-SR, marking a key step in India’s defence capabilities.
The test involved launching two missiles in quick succession from a helicopter platform. Officials confirmed that both missiles performed as expected during the trial. This is the first time India has conducted an air-launched anti-ship missile salvo test of this kind.
The NASM-SR system is designed to strike targets at a range of up to 55 kilometres. It is equipped with the ability to track and hit targets autonomously after launch, improving its operational effectiveness in maritime conditions.
The successful test demonstrates progress in developing advanced missile systems for defence use. It also highlights efforts to strengthen aerial strike capabilities against sea-based targets.
The development is expected to support ongoing advancements in defence technology and operational readiness.
