The missile successfully intercepted the target and destroyed it during the flight test.<\/p>\n<p>The weapon system, comprising the missile with an indigenously developed radio frequency seeker, launcher, multi-function radar, and command, control &amp; communication system, performed without any glitches. The success of the AKASH-NG system was confirmed through data collected by numerous radars, telemetry, and electro-optical tracking systems deployed at the ITR.<\/p>\n<p>Senior officials from DRDO, Indian Air Force (IAF), Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) were present to witness the test.
