Pin-point accuracy of QRSAM weapon system established in 6 successful flight tests, mission objectives met

The DRDO and the Indian Army conducted six successful flight tests of QRSAM system from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur off the Odisha coast. DRDO said the flight tests were carried out as part of evaluation trials by the Army.

QRSAM weapon system

New Delhi: The Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) weapon system has undergone successful trials and all mission objectives were met during these tests. This was stated by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Thursday.

As per details available, the DRDO and the Indian Army conducted six successful flight tests of QRSAM system from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur off the Odisha coast. DRDO said the flight tests were carried out as part of evaluation trials by the Army.

“Tests were done against high-speed aerial targets mimicking various aerial threats to evaluate the capability of the weapon system under different scenarios including long-range medium altitude, short-range high altitude, maneuvering target and salvo launch with two missiles fired in quick succession,” the DRDO said.

The system was also put to test for performance evaluation under day and night operation scenarios.

The DRDO said the tests were successful and all the mission objectives were met, thereby establishing “pin-point accuracy of the QRSAM weapon system with state-of-the-art guidance and control algorithms including warhead chain”.

The data that established successful performance of the weapon system was captured by several range instruments including telemetry, radar and electro-optical tracking systems (EOTS) deployed by ITR.

The trials were conducted in the presence of senior DRDO and Army officials.

It was further stated that these tests were carried out in the final deployment configuration consisting of all indigenously developed sub-systems including the missile with indigenous RF seeker, mobile launcher, fully automated command and control system, surveillance and multi-function radars.

It has been highlighted before that the QRSAM weapon system is unique in the sense that it can be operated on the move with search and track capability and fire on short halt. These were proven during the mobility trials conducted earlier.

India successfully test-fires Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile system

The flight-tests were carried out against high-speed aerial targets mimicking various types of threats to evaluate the capability of the weapon systems under different scenarios.

Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile system.

India on Thursday conducted six successful fight-tests of Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) system from Integrated Test Range (ITR) Chandipur off the Odisha coast. The test was jointly conducted by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Army as part of evaluation trials.

The flight-tests were carried out against high-speed aerial targets mimicking various types of threats to evaluate the capability of the weapon systems under different scenarios, according to a release by ministry of defence. The scenarios included long range medium altitude, short range, high altitude manoeuvring target, low radar signature with receding and crossing target and salvo launch with two missiles fired in quick succession.

The system performance was also evaluated under night operation scenarios.

The ministry said that all the mission objectives were met during the tests, establishing pin-point accuracy of the weapon system.

The QRSAM is equipped with state-of-the-art guidance and control algorithms including warhead chain. It can operate on the move with search and track capability and fire on short halt. Data captured by range instruments like telemetry, radar and Electro Optical Tracking Systems (EOTS) were used to confirm the system performance.

“These tests were conducted in the final deployment configuration consisting of all indigenously-developed sub-systems, including the missile with indigenous Radio Frequency (RF) seeker, mobile launcher, fully automated command and control system, surveillance and multi-function Radars,” the release said.
Officials said that the system is now ready for induction into the Indian Army following the successful series of trials.

Defence minister Rajnath Singh, who is currently in Japan for 2+2 ministerial dialogue, complimented DRDO and Indian Army on the successful flight trials and exuded confidence in the QRSAM weapon system for being an excellent force multiplier for the armed forces, according to the release.

QRSAM is a short-range Surface to Air Missile (SAM) system.

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Army have successfully completed six flight tests of Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) system from Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, off the Odisha coast, as part of its evaluation trials, Union Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Thursday.

QRSAM is a short-range Surface to Air Missile (SAM) system, primarily designed and developed by the DRDO to provide a protective shield to the moving armoured columns of the Army from aerial attacks.

The six flight tests were carried out against high-speed aerial targets mimicking various types of threats to evaluate the capability of the weapon systems under different scenarios, including long-range medium-altitude, short-range, high-altitude-manoeuvring target, low radar signature with receding & crossing target and salvo launch with two missiles fired in quick succession, according to an MoD press statement. The system performance was also evaluated under day and night operation scenarios, the statement said.



“During these tests, all the mission objectives were met establishing pin-point accuracy of the weapon system with state-of-the-art guidance and control algorithms including warhead chain,” the statement said.


The performance of the system has been confirmed from the data captured by several range instruments like Telemetry, Radar and Electro Optical Tracking Systems (EOTS) deployed by ITR. Senior officials from the DRDO and the Indian Army participated in the launches, officials said.


These tests were conducted in the final deployment configuration consisting of all indigenously-developed sub-systems, including the missile with indigenous radio frequency (RF) seeker, mobile launcher, fully automated command and control system, surveillance and multi-function Radars. The uniqueness of the QRSAM weapon system is that it can operate on the move with search and track capability and fire on a short halt. This has been proven during the mobility trials conducted earlier.

The system has been jointly developed by the DRDO’s Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune; Research and Development Establishment (Engineers), Pune; Electronic and Radar Development Establishment, Bengaluru; Instruments Research and Development Establishment, Dehradun; and Missile Complex Laboratories from Hyderabad and Balasore.
