The DRDO successfully carried out the maiden flight test of a new surface-to-air missile (yet to get a formal name) powered by Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) propulsion Technology.
SFDR’s technology demonstrator flight test was conducted from Launch Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, Odisha.
SFDR technology is jointly developed by India and Russia.
SFDR is propulsion technology different than that of conventional solid fuelled or liquid fuelled missiles.
