Indigenously developed surface-to-surface missile ‘Pralay’ test-fired today

New Delhi: Indigenously developed new surface-to-surface conventional ballistic missile ‘Pralay’ successfully flight tested from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island on Wednesday. The missile has a range of 150-500 kilometres and can be launched from a mobile launcher.

According to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the mission has met all its objectives. The new missile followed the desired quasi- ballistic trajectory and reached the designated target with high degree accuracy, validating the control, guidance and mission algorithms. 

All the sub-systems performed satisfactorily. All the sensors deployed near the impact point across the eastern coast, including the downrange ships, tracked the missile trajectory and captured all the events.

The Missile is powered with solid propellant rocket motors and many new technologies. The missile guidance system includes a state-of-the-art navigation system and integrated avionics.
