On the morning of 4th July 2019, India successfully test-fired its all-weather tracked-chassis Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile.
It was the second developmental trial of the missile in this year from the same test range.
Earlier, the surface-to-air missile was tested successfully on Feb 26, 2019. It was test-fired from a rotatable truck-based launch unit at Chandipur.
Jointly developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Bharat Electronics Ltd, the QR-SAM weapon system is a quick reaction, network-centric missile system capable of search-on-the-move.
QR-SAM system is said can also engage multiple targets within a range of around 25 to 30 km with two vehicle configurations for area air defence.
The missile intended to defend Army formations operating in plains and semi-desert areas.
The first test launch of the missile was conducted on June 4, 2017, from the same base.
