DRDO Conducts Rocket-Sled Test Of Fighter Aircraft Escape System
In a major leap towards self-reliance in defence technology, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Tuesday successfully conducted a high-speed rocket-sled test of a fighter aircraft escape system at the Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) facility of Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL), Chandigarh. The complex dynamic test validated critical elements of the aircrew escape system, including canopy severance, ejection sequencing, and complete aircrew recovery at precisely controlled velocity, a press statement issued on Tuesday said.
