DRDO Hits Milestone: Successful Rocket-Sled Test Boosts Fighter Escape Tech

In a major stride towards self-reliance in defence technology, DRDO successfully conducted a high-speed rocket-sled test of a fighter aircraft escape system at the Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) facility in Chandigarh. The test, carried out in collaboration with ADA and HAL, validated critical components of the aircrew escape system, including canopy severance, ejection sequencing, and full aircrew recovery at precisely controlled speeds. Officials say this milestone underscores India’s commitment to advancing indigenous fighter safety and aircrew survival technologies.
