Balasore: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Monday conducted the successful flight test of ABHYAS, the high-speed Expendable Aerial Target (HEAT) from the Interim Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-Sea in Odisha’s Balasore district.

The flight test was tracked by various radars and electro-optic systems and proved its performance in a fully autonomous way point navigation mode.
