The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted successful flight test of Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) technology on March 05, 2021 from the integrated test range (ITR), Chandipur, off Odisha coast.
The success of SFDR technology will enable DRDO to develop long-range air to air missiles.
The SFDR is a missile propulsion system being developed primarily by the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) and Research Centre Imarat (RCI) in Hyderabad.
The High Energy Material Research Laboratory (HEMRL) has developed the nozzle-less booster while the ramjet engine is being developed with Russian assistance.
