Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) today successfully carried out a flight demonstration based on Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) technology from the Integrated Test Range Chandipur off the coast of Odisha at around 1030 hrs.
DRDO said all the subsystems, including the booster motor and nozzle-less motor, performed as expected. During the test, many new technologies were proven, including Solid Fuel based Ducted Ramjet technology, it added.
The successful demonstration of Solid Fuel based Ducted Ramjet technology will enable DRDO to develop long range air-to-air missiles. At present, such technology is available only with a handful of countries in the world.
