Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully conducted the User Evaluation Trials of the Next Generation Akash missile (Akash-NG) system this week.
The missiles successfully intercepted aerial targets at different ranges and altitudes, including the near-boundary-low-altitude and long-range, high altitude scenarios.
This new-generation Akash missile (Akash-NG) system, equipped with an indigenous Radio Frequency seeker and propelled by a solid rocket motor, is a potent system for ensuring air defense against different types of aerial threats.
"User evaluation trials of Akash NG missile successfully completed today meeting all PSQR requirements. During the trials, the missiles successfully intercepted aerial targets at different range & altitude including the near-boundary-low-altitude and Long Range, high altitude scenarios. Akash-NG equipped with indigenous RF seeker and propelled by solid rocket motor is a potent system for ensuring air defense against different types of aerial threats," wrote DRDO in a post on X.
