The micro rockets used in this counter-drone system underwent rigorous testing at the Seaward Firing Range, Gopalpur, achieving all designated objectives.

Three trials were conducted for the rocket at Gopalpur on May 13 in the presence of senior army officials.

Two trials were conducted by firing one rocket each. One trial was conducted by firing two rockets in salvo mode within two seconds.
