DRDO, in a social media post said that the trials have proven the missile’s Man-in-Loop feature, hitting on a small ship target in sea-skimming mode at its maximum range
“DRDO and Indian Navy successfully flight tested Naval Anti Ship Missile Short Range (NASM-SR) on 25 Feb 2025 from ITR, Chandipur. The trials have proven the missile’s Man-in-Loop feature and scored a direct hit on a small Ship target in sea-skimming mode at its maximum range,” DRDO announced on social media platform X.
The missile was launched in Bearing-only Lock-on after launch mode with several targets in close vicinity for selecting one among them. It was first locked on to a large target within a specified zone of search and during the terminal phase, the pilot selected a smaller hidden target resulting in it being hit with pinpoint accuracy.The missile uses an indigenous Fiber Optic Gyroscope-based INS and Radio Altimeter for its Mid-course guidance, an Integrated avionics module, Electro-Mechanical actuators for Aerodynamic and Jet vane control, thermal batteries and PCB warhead. It uses solid propulsion with an in-line ejectable booster and a long-burn sustainer. The trials have met all the mission objectives.
The missile is developed by different labs of DRDO including Research Centre Imarat, Defence Research and Development Laboratory, High Energy Materials Research Laboratory and Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory.
The missiles are currently being produced by Development cum Production Partners with the help of MSME’s, start-ups and other production partners.
