The entire mission, from liftoff till th final splash down was a perfect flight achieving all the mission objectives. The cruise missile Nirbhay, powered by a solid rocket motor booster developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) took off majestically from a mobile launcher specifically designed for Nirbhay by the Vehic R&D Establishment, VRDE; Both being DRDO laboratories. As it achieved designated altitude and velocity, the booster motor got separated, the turbofan engine automatically switched on taking over the furth propulsion and the wings opened up by the commands generated by the onboard computer (OBC) stabilising flight. Guided by a highly advanced inertial navigation system indigenously developed by Research Centre Im (RCI) the Nirbhay continued it’s flight that lasted a little over 1hr and 10 minutes. Throughout it’s path, the mis was tracked with the help of ground based radars and it’s health parameters were monitored by indigenous telemetry stations by team of professionals from DRDO’s ITR and LRDE (Electronics & Radar Development Establishment). Additionally, the performance of Nirbhay was closely watched by an Indian Air Force aircraft.
