Nirbhay Cruise missile Scheduled for another test flight this month

Preparations are underway to carry out another test flight of Ingeniously developed Long range sub-sonic Nirbhay cruise missile at Abdul Kalam Island (Earlier Wheeler Island) and also at missile test ranges in Chandipur.
sources close to idrw.org have informed us that test flight of Nirbhay missile has been scheduled for this month and team of engineers and scientist from various labs of DRDO are already present at the location where preparations are underway in assembling the missile for its test flight.
It was exactly year ago last October when second flight trial of the missile was successfully test-fired from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, in Orissa, for a distance of about 1,050 km, while maiden test of the missile had to be aborted midway in 2013 when the missile deviated from its path after traveling nearly 250kms .
Nirbhay in its last test flight followed 15-way points and flew for nearly one hour and 10 minutes before taking out its target with a dummy warhead. Recently Scheduled Nirbhay test flight reportedly will demonstrate its low altitude flying capability to evade detection by radars once it is fired from a mobile launcher which will be actively monitored by Radar network in vicinity of its flight path .
The tree-top flying capability is one of the key requirements which Nirbhay Cruise missile which it needs to fulfill before it is inducted into Indian Army who played a key role in drafting its technical requirements. DRDO reportedly also started working on an air-launched version of the Nirbhay subsonic cruise missile to arm the Su-30MKI, which will use same specially designed pylons which also be used to carry Air launched Brahmos-A Supersonic missile.
