NEW DELHI: The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), on Wednesday successfully conducted a flight test of the Phase-II Ballistic Missile Defence System at ITR, Chandipur in Odisha.
The test commenced at 4.20 pm (1620 hours) when a Target Missile, simulating an adversary’s Ballistic Missile, was launched from LC-IV Dhamra.
Sharing a post on X, the Defence Production India said: “Boosting #AatmanirbharDefence.DRDO for today’s successful flight test of Phase-II Ballistic Missile Defence System and stated that the test has again demonstrated our Ballistic Missiles Defence capability.”
The weapon system radars, strategically positioned on both land and sea, promptly detected the incoming Target Missile and activated the AD Interceptor system in response. At 4.24, the Phase-II AD Endo-atmospheric missile was launched from LC-III at ITR to intercept the Target Missile.
This system comprises Long Range Sensors, a low latency communication system, the Mission Control Centre (MCC), and advanced Interceptor missiles.
In another post on X, the defence ministry said: “Today, 24th July 2024, the DRDO India successfully flight-tested Phase-II Ballistic Missile Defence System. Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO for today’s successful flight test of Phase-II Ballistic Missile Defence System and stated that the test has again demonstrated our Ballistic Missiles Defence capability.”
The flight test successfully accomplished all the predetermined objectives, effectively validating the entire network-centric warfare weapon system.
