DRDO is set to elevate India’s strategic deterrence with the Shaurya NG (Next Generation) missile. This canister-launched, hypersonic surface-to-surface missile is designed for rapid deployment and precision strikes. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, the Shaurya NG travels in a “pseudo-ballistic” path, making it nearly invisible to enemy radars.

Key Features of Shaurya NG:

• Hypersonic Speed: Traveling at speeds exceeding Mach 7.5, it leaves virtually no reaction time for the adversary.
• Maneuverability: Its ability to perform unpredictable maneuvers mid-flight ensures it can penetrate even the most advanced anti-missile shields.
• Strategic Reach: With a strike range of 700-1,000 km, it can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads with pinpoint accuracy.
• Mobility: Being canister-based, it can be hidden in secret locations and launched from mobile platforms, ensuring high survivability during a conflict.
