Balasore: India on Monday successfully test-fired a long-range Supersonic Missile Assisted Torpedo (SMART) off the coast of Balasore. During the test, the full range capability of the missile was successfully demonstrated.
A defence official said the weapon system is being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the Indian Navy.
This canister-based missile system consists of advanced technologies like two-stage solid propulsion, electro-mechanical actuators and precision inertial navigation. The missile is launched from a ground mobile launcher and it can cover a range of distances.
A number of DRDO laboratories have developed various technologies for this advanced missile system.
