DRDO Flight-Tests Naval Anti-Ship Missile
What Happened
On February 25, 2025, the DRDO and the Indian Navy successfully flight-tested the Naval Anti-Ship Missile Short Range (NASM-SR) from the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur. Launched from a Seaking Helicopter, the missile demonstrated its 'Man-in-Loop' guidance system by scoring a direct hit on a maritime target in sea-skimming mode.
Why It Matters
This successful test significantly enhances the Indian Navy's indigenous precision-strike capabilities, marking a crucial step towards self-reliance in advanced naval weapon systems.
