Big boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” initiative in the Defence sector.

The air defence weapon system is entirely developed indigenously and is a multi-layered air defence system. It comprises Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missiles (QRSAMs), Very Short Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) missiles and high-power laser-based Directed Energy Weapon (DEW). During the test, IADWS destroyed two high-speed fixed-wing UAVs and a multi-copter drone. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the DRDO on its feat. He said that the IADWS would strengthen the defence of important facilities.
