The indigenously developed Quick Reaction, Surface to Air Missile (QR-SAM) was test-fired for the first time from launch pad number three of the integrated test range at Balasore district's Chandipur off Odisha coast at 12:39 pm on Sunday.
The QR-SAM weapon system has been jointly developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Bharat Electronics Ltd. It is a quick reaction, all-weather, network-centric missile system capable of search-on-the-move, local media reported.
The missile system can also engage multiple targets within a range of around 30 km with two vehicle configuration for area air defence. It is a truck-mounted missile with a 360° rotatable, electro-mechanically operated, turret-based launch unit.
