DRDO said all parts of the system worked well during the test. The missile was first pushed to high speed using a booster from the ground. After that, the SFDR engine started working smoothly in the air.Important systems like the booster, ramjet engine and fuel control unit performed as planned. Scientists used tracking equipment along the Bay of Bengal coast to check the missile’s performance.
