Folded wings in above pic could very well represent quad packing.@PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy @MilSpec
This might be the design of DRDO QRSAM....

I didn't, i was constantly arguing WVR missiles are best suited QRSAM requirements. While Astra is a pure BVR missile. We could expect a WVR missile spin off from this, our second AA missile. Folded wings are a surprise ,indication of quad pack and internal weapon bay ready.Nice, a lot us were expecting just an Astra, but this is a new design.
The state of art SFDR is a joint development project between DRDO and Russia. SFDR is designed with an advanced propulsion system having thrust modulation using hot gas flow controller. The missile is configured with reduced smoke nozzle-less booster, having a range of 120 km at 8 km altitude with a speed of 2.3-2.5M. Preliminary design documentation of the SFDR propulsion system has been completed. Wind tunnel testing of SFDR model was completed in October 2015.

Now waiting for Desi Paveway aka Sudarshan (Project closed as of now) and Desi Brimstone/JAGM aka Helina-2.
The No. of Missile - 8 Nos is that 4 Nos. in a single pylon ? or..
Difference between Nag and Helina. The side exhaust were removed after trials, due to damage being done to the helicopter. It has a single exhaust.
Helina ATGM
Trial production Helinas

Yes was hoping it was a quad pack! ... so soon maybe!?Each pylon can carry a Twin pack. So 8 will be the max it can carry as of now. However I wish we worked on a Quad packed launcher, boosting total capacity to 16.
At 45 Kg each, payload is not the issue. Just a matter of time and intent I guess.
Good Day all!
