India successfully tested the Abhyas, a High-speed Expendable Aerial Target (HEAT), on Wednesday in Odisha. The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) conducted the trial from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur, Odisha.
The aircraft is set up to fly totally autonomously, which means that it does so with no assistance from a human pilot and under the control of automatic systems.
In order to evaluate the aircraft’s manoeuvrability and performance at low altitudes, the test flight was conducted from a ground-based controller. During the demonstration, the air vehicle was propelled into the air utilising two underslung boosters that supplied initial acceleration. It has a modest gas turbine engine that allows for long subsonic flying.
