India Test-Fires Missile Powered By Advanced Ramjet Technology

A missile with a unique propulsion system was successfully test-fired off the coast of Odisha by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) today. In a statement, the DRDO said it successfully test-fired the missile based on solid fuel ducted ramjet (SFDR) technology from the Integrated Test Range Chandipur. "All the subsystems, including the booster motor and nozzle-less motor, performed as expected. During the test, many new technologies were proven, including solid fuel based ducted ramjet technology," the DRDO said in the statement.
