The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) on Friday (April 25, 2025) announced an important milestone in the area of hypersonic weapons technology with a demonstration of long -term active chilled ground ground ground testing for more than 1,000 seconds.
“The ground test is continuing the previous test for 120 seconds in January 2025. With a successful test, the system will soon be ready for full flight scales worthy of testing equipment,” DrDO said in a statement. “This test verifies the design of the long SCRAMJET SHAMESTUSTOR and testing equipment.”
Development was achieved by the Laboratory of the Defense Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL), DrDO laboratory based in Hyderabad, in the newly built Scramjet Connect test device.
Hypersonic cruise missile is a class of weapons that can travel for a long time at more than five times higher sound speed (> 6100 km / h) and is powered by a modem for air breathing. Power substances that have supersonic combustion play a decisive role for long -term cruise conditions, the statement said.
