The test flight was witnessed by the Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister Shri M Natarajan, GOC-in-C, Western Command and Army Chief Designate, Lt Gen JJ Singh and other senior officers from the Army and Navy.

From among a group of identified targets (built up), the mission team chose a target and the missile came dead on target destroying the built up target.
