Bhubaneswar: The flight trial of Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) booster was successfully conducted from Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur in Odisha’s Balasore district on Friday.

The test successfully demonstrated the reliable functioning of all critical components involved in the complex missile system and met all the mission objectives, stated agency reports.

SFDR-based propulsion enables the missile to intercept aerial threats at very long ranges at supersonic speeds.

The performance of the system has been confirmed from the data captured by a number of Range instruments like Telemetry, Radar and Electro-Optical Tracking Systems (EOTS) deployed by ITR.

SFDR has been developed by Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad in collaboration with other DRDO laboratories such as RCI, Hyderabad and HEMRL, Pune.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO for the successful trial of SFDR and said that this is an important milestone towards the development of critical missile technologies in the country.
