The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Navy on Thursday successfully conducted a flight test of the Vertical Launch Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile (VL-SRSAM) from Chandipur off the Odisha coast, defence officials said. The missile, launched from a land-based vertical  launcher, precisely engaged a high-speed aerial target at low altitude. This test validated several new updates to the system, including the Proximity Fuse and Seeker.
