A movable articulated launcher was used to launch the Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile. All subsystems met the main mission goals and operated as expected during the test.
The Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM) was tested in flight for the first time on Tuesday by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) off the coast of Chandipur, Odisha.A movable articulated launcher was used to fire the missile. All subsystems met the main mission goals and operated as expected during the test.
To guarantee full coverage of the flight path, ITR placed a number of range sensors, including radar and an electro-optical tracking system, at various points to watch the missile.
The missile showed its capacity to execute a variety of maneuvers while flying at different heights and speeds, and it used way point navigation to follow the intended path. The missile has sophisticated software and avionics to guarantee improved and dependable performance.
The Aeronautical Development Establishment in Bengaluru is responsible for developing the Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile, with assistance from other DRDO institutes and other industry.
The missile is being developed and integrated by two Development-Cum-Production-Partners, Bharat Dynamics Limited, based in Hyderabad, and Bharat Electronics Limited, situated in Bengaluru.
Senior scientists from several DRDO labs as well as representatives from the three military services observed the test.
As a mission mode project approved by the Defense Acquisition Council and sanctioned by the Acceptance of Necessity, the Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile can be launched from the ground with a mobile articulated launcher or from frontline ships with a universal vertical launch module system.
