DRDO Successfully Tests Indigenous Integrated Air Defence Weapon System Off Odisha Coast

India successfully carried out the first flight tests of its indigenously developed Integrated Air Defence Weapon System (IADWS) on August 23 off the Odisha coast at around 12:30 pm. The system features a multi-layered defence shield, combining Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missiles (QRSAM), Very Short Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) missiles, and a high-power laser-based Directed Energy Weapon (DEW). Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hailed the achievement, calling it a major boost to India’s defence readiness. The test follows months after Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Officials called the trial a key milestone in India’s self-reliance journey and a strong step toward securing vital facilities from enemy aerial threats.
