Details from DRDO2016 Annual report about SFDR,SANT,SAAW,NGARM,QRSAM, Pralay and Rudra

View attachment 25876
Read that last line of QRSAM. It says upgradation of Akash airforce launcher completed to meet QRSAM requirements QX-01 and QX-02. Any idea what they are talking about? And why is there a QRSAM requirement from Akash? Is it because Air Force QRSAM is not supposed to move much? Or is this stop gap?

QRSAM for Air Force would be for defending air asset like Air Field or ALG. So movement for such a system is not a priority like that in case of IA, where it would company the moving strike column.

So now Akash and QRSAM would be using same launcher or rather Akash would be using same launcher as QRSAM. So rather being a stop gap, its a development on Akash front IMO.

Looks like the missile motor is firing. Does that happen in a pop out test? I think not.
Static Motor firing and pop test might have completed separately much earlier.

May be a more advance level of testing combining both of above.
