In February 2026, which organisation successfully demonstrated the Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) technology from the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur?
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
The Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, off the Odisha coast, is a missile testing facility of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) is a propulsion technology developed by DRDO for long-range air-to-air missiles. A ramjet takes in air from the atmosphere for burning its fuel instead of carrying all its oxidiser, which allows a missile to keep thrust over a longer range at high speed. As stated in the question, DRDO demonstrated this technology from ITR Chandipur in February 2026.
HAL builds aircraft and helicopters, ISRO is the space agency that develops launch vehicles and satellites, and BDL is a public sector unit that manufactures missiles; none of them is the developer that demonstrated SFDR.
Hence, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
