India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has carried out the flight test of Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) propulsion based missile system.

The testing of the second indigenously developed technology SFDR was conducted from the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, Odisha.

During the test, the missile was launched and guided to reach a high altitude to simulate aircraft release conditions.

Following this, the ignition process of the nozzle-less-booster was initiated for the SFDR based missile to achieve ramjet Mach.

Defence scientists found that the performance of the ground booster, separation of the ground booster and nozzle-less-booster to be ‘satisfactory’.

The Defence Research Development Laboratory (DRDL) is serving as the project’s lead agency.
