According to a PIB release, four enhanced range version of 122mm rockets were test-fired with full instrumentation and they met the complete mission objectives. All the flight articles were tracked by range instruments, including Telemetry, Radar and Electro-Optical Tracking System, deployed by ITR and Proof and Experimental Establishment (PXE).
