Defense Research and Development Organization Set For An Experimental Test Of India’s First Long-Range Land Attack Missile.
The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is set for an experimental test of India's first long-range land attack cruise missile from a defense facility off the coast of Odisha next week.
The missile, also called the Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile (ITCM), a derivative of Nirbhay, will be flight tested with locally developed engines, propulsion and navigation systems.

Although the turbofan engine performed well, the missile did not cover the full range due to a possible problem in the control system.
The ITCM with the new Manik engine was first tested on August 11. The mission was a partial success. Although the turbofan engine performed well, the missile did not cover full range due to a possible failure in the control system.
Immediately after the test, the DRDO stated that the missile was tested for a short range and that the next test will cover the full range.
Faults in the system have been rectified and scientists leave no stone unturned for the missile's first full-range test, a defense official said.
