In a groundbreaking achievement, India marked a historic moment as the Navy and DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) successfully conducted the guided flight trials of the country's first homemade naval anti-ship missile. Launched from a Seaking 42B helicopter, the missile's maiden flight test demonstrated advancements in niche missile technology, encompassing seeker and guidance technologies. This triumph not only reinforces national security capabilities but also aligns with the "Atmabirbhar Bharat" initiative. In a post on X from its official handle, the Navy said, "This firing is a significant step towards achieving self-reliance in niche missile technology, including seeker and guidance technologies."
