India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully conducts a flight test of its Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM) off the Odisha coast, according to reports citing a Defence Ministry release. The test is carried out from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island by the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, using multiple tracking instruments deployed for the evaluation. All stated test objectives are reported as fully met based on the data captured during the trial. The LRLACM is described as an indigenous, next-generation cruise missile programme aimed at precision strikes against high-value land targets at long ranges. Sources report that the missile is designed to fly at low altitudes, using sea-skimming/terrain-hugging and precision-guided approaches intended to improve survivability and accuracy against defended targets. The range is reported to be up to about 1,500 km, with the missile positioned to reach distant targets with pinpoint precision. DRDO also says the missile’s subsystems are developed across multiple DRDO laboratories and Indian industry partners, with the Aeronautical Development Establishment in Bengaluru listed as the nodal laboratory. Senior DRDO officials and user representatives from the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force witness the launch.
