Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted two consecutive successful flight-tests of Pralay missile from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam island off the coast of Odisha. The Pralay Missile flight tests were carried out as a part of User Evaluation Trials to validate the maximum and minimum range capability of the missile system. Pralay is an indigenously-developed solid propellant quasi-ballistic missile employing state-of-the-art guidance and navigation to ensure high precision.
