India Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said that the successful trial of QRSAM is an important milestone in the indigenous surface-to-air missile (SAM) development.

Jointly developed by DRDO and Bharat Electronics (BEL), the missile system is said to be able to engage multiple targets within a strike range of about 20km to 30km, along with the configuration of two vehicles for area air defence.

The all-weather QR-SAM is a network-centric missile system equipped with a 360° rotatable, electronic-mechanically operated, turret-based launch unit, reported the Deccan Chronicle.
