DRDO successfully flight tests Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon

The Defence and Research Development Organization (DRDO) yesterday successfully flight tested the Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW), from an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft. SAAW, an indigenously designed and developed 120 kg. class smart weapon, developed by DRDO, is capable of engaging ground targets with high precision up to a range of 100 kms. The light weight high precision guided bomb is one of the world class weapons systems.
The captive and release trials were tracked by Radar and Telemetry ground stations at ITR during the entire duration of the flight. The performance of all systems were satisfactory with all the mission objectives achieved.
Secretary, Department of Defence (R&D) & Chairman, DRDO, Dr S. Christopher, congratulated DRDO and the IAF teams for the successful mission.
Scientific Advisor to RM and DG (Missile and Strategic Systems), DRDO, Dr G. Satheesh Reddy, lauded the scientific community of the DRDO for their efforts towards the design and development of this state-of-the-art smart weapon within the set time frame.

Any further details about the missile? Does it have Scene matching technology to identify the target? It will definitely give it some ability to track and destroy the airfield even if the link from the plane disrupts.

no troll is lurking around ! huh

What is meant by Anti AirField ???

For that one must understand airfield.....
Air field maiy contains air strip, bunkers for aircrafts and air traffic control center.
Air traffic control can be a mobile one, but rest of the structures are immobile and hence reinforced to handle attack by say MBRL, artillery shells and air strick.
The SAAW is mainly designed to distroy these reinforced structures.

Anti runway missile .. Similar to our Hafr series (also exported to Azerbaijan)

Its an irony to have the words DRDO and "Smart" in the same sentence.

Not Exactly...Hafr/Durandal is not a "Missile",rather a Anti Runway Penetration Bomb.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matra_Durandal

This one is more like a standoff missile with similar capability.
