DRDO Successfully Test-fired QRSAM

 The Defense Research and Development Organization - DRDO successfully tested the Quick Response Surface-to-Air Missile System (QRSAM) on November 13, 2020. The test was conducted at the comprehensive test field in Chandipur on the Odi Saha coast. The test is a continuation of a series of missile tests conducted by DRDO in the past two months.


Highlights:
♦ QRSAM is a tank-based system, which means it is stored and operated from specially designed compartments.
♦ In the tank, the internal environment is controlled, so not only is it easy to transport and store, but the shelf life of the weapon is also greatly improved. The system can detect and track moving targets and engage them after a short pause.
♦ It is a short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, mainly designed and developed by DRDO, to provide a defensive barrier for the army's mobile armored forces to protect them from enemy air attacks.
♦ The entire weapon system has been configured on a mobile mobile platform that can provide air defense capabilities while on the move. It was designed to introduce it to the Army, with a range of 25 to 30 kilometers.
♦ The QRSAM weapon group that functions on the move consists of a fully automated command and control system.
♦ It also consists of two radars-active array battery surveillance radar and active array battery multifunctional radar-with a transmitter.
♦ Both radars have 360-degree coverage with "mobile search" and "mobile tracking" functions.
♦ The system has a compact structure, uses a single-stage solid-propelled missile, and has a midway inertial navigation system with a two-way data link and a terminal active seeker developed by DRDO.
