The Pralay missile, which is indigenously developed, is a solid propellant quasi-ballistic missile known for its high precision and state-of-the-art guidance and navigation systems. It is capable of carrying a variety of warheads and targeting multiple types of objectives. This missile is an important part of India’s growing defence capabilities.
The launch was carried out from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur, Odisha. According to DRDO, both missiles followed their intended flight paths, with tracking sensors confirming their accuracy.
The terminal events of the missiles were also confirmed by telemetry systems installed on a ship near the impact zones. This indicates that the missiles performed exactly as expected, fulfilling all mission requirements.
The successful test was the result of collaboration between several DRDO laboratories, including the Research Centre Imarat, Defence Research and Development Laboratory, and Advanced Systems Laboratory, among others. The two missile systems were integrated with the help of Bharat Dynamics Limited and Bharat Electronics Limited, DRDO’s development-cum-production partners.
Senior scientists from DRDO, representatives from the Indian Air Force and Indian Army, as well as industry partners, attended the test.
