DRDO Test Fires Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet At Chandipur In Odisha | OTV News

Bhubaneswar: In yet one more milestone, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Friday efficiently carried out a flight demonstration primarily based on Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) know-how from Integrated Test Range Chandipur off the coast of Odisha.
“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,” an official assertion learn.

DRDO efficiently carried out flight take a look at of Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) Technology at this time at round 1030 hrs from ITR Chandipur. All the subsystems together with the bottom booster motor carried out as per expectation. #AtmaNirbharBharat@SpokespersonMoD @adgpi @rajnathsingh pic.twitter.com/japob7kI8t

With at this time’s achievement and profitable demonstration of Solid Fuel primarily based Ducted Ramjet know-how has offered DRDO with a technological benefit which is able to allow it to develop lengthy vary air-to-air missiles.
Such know-how is on the market solely with a handful of nations on the earth. During the take a look at, air launch situation was simulated utilizing a booster motor. Subsequently, the nozzle-less booster accelerated it to the required Mach quantity for Ramjet operation.
The efficiency of the missile was monitored utilizing the info captured by Electro Optical, Radar and Telemetry devices deployed by ITR and confirmed profitable demonstration of the mission targets.
The launch was monitored by senior scientists of varied DRDO labs, together with Defence Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL), Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and High Energy Materials Research Laboratory(HEMRL).
