FLIGHT TRIAL OF NIRBHAY SUCCESSFUL
India's first indigenously designed and developed long range sub-sonic cruise missile 'Nirbhay' was successfully flight tested on 17th October from the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Balasore, Odisha. The entire mission, from lift-off till the final splash down was a perfect flight achieving all the mission objectives. This was the second launch of 'Nirbhay' cruise missile.

Land and ship variants of Nirbhay in 3 years:The land and ship versions of Nirbhay, the long-range subsonic cruise missile, would be developed within three years to give necessary bite to the armed forces, Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister and Director General Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Dr. Avinash Chander said.
GAGAN used for first time:For the first time, India’s GAGAN (GPS-Aided Geo Augmented Navigation) was used by the state-of-art Inertial Navigation System of the long-range subsonic cruise missile Nirbhay on 17th October. Besides ring laser gyroscope-based INS, the missile also had a redundant MEMS sensors based smart INS.
