Big success! DRDO tests its future technology for the hypersonic cruise missile



The Defense Research and Development Organization ( DRDO ) conducted the trials of Dr. Abdul Kalam's island in the Bay of Bengal in the morning. According to the sources, the new technology was tested and the data generated by the radars showed that the test was a success.



India has successfully carried out the first flight test of its vehicle demonstrated with locally developed hypersonic technology (HSTDV) on the Odisha coast. This test is critical as it forms an important part of India's ambitious program for the development of a hypersonic cruise missile system.

What is the HSTDV

It is developed by DRDO.





This cruise vehicle will be mounted on a solid rocket engine to take it to the required altitude. After reaching the required altitude and reaching Mach, the cruise vehicle will be ejected from the launch vehicle.





In the air, the Scramjet engine will automatically start and propel the cruise vehicle in Mach 6.





According to DRDO, this is a dual-use technology project, with civil applications.





While it can be used to launch small satellites at a much lower cost, it will be used to launch long-range cruise missiles.
