The DRDO and Indian Navy have successfully conducted flight trials of the new NASM-SR, a 'Man-in-Loop' anti-ship missile, marking a significant milestone in defense technology. Launched from a naval helicopter, the missile demonstrated its in-flight retargeting capabilities using a high-bandwidth two-way datalink system that transmits live imagery to the pilot. The missile also utilizes an indigenous imaging infrared seeker for terminal guidance. The trial, conducted at the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur, included targeting a small ship in sea-skimming mode, hitting it accurately. This achievement marks a leap in India’s defense missile technology and enhances its naval defense capabilities.
