In a significant leap forward for India’s indigenous defense capabilities, Bengaluru-based NewSpace Research and Technologies recently conducted the maiden flight of its Sheshnaag 150, a long-range strike Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The successful test marks a pivotal moment for the company and underscores India’s growing prowess in advanced aerospace technology.
The Sheshnaag 150, designed as a precision strike platform, demonstrated its capabilities during the flight, particularly in its terminal phase. Engaging a designated ground target, the UAV achieved an impressive Circular Error Probable (CEP) of just 5 meters—a testament to its high precision and reliability. This metric, which measures the radius within which half of a weapon’s strikes are expected to land, highlights the Sheshnaag 150’s potential as a formidable asset for targeted operations.
NewSpace Research and Technologies, a key player in India’s burgeoning private defense sector, has positioned the Sheshnaag 150 as a long-range strike UAV capable of delivering payloads with surgical accuracy. While specific details about its range, endurance, and payload capacity remain limited in public disclosures, the UAV’s performance in this initial flight suggests it is engineered for deep-strike missions, offering strategic flexibility to military planners.
The successful test comes at a time when India is intensifying efforts to bolster its unmanned systems, driven by both regional security needs and a push for self-reliance in defense manufacturing. The Sheshnaag 150’s precision strike capability could prove invaluable in scenarios requiring the neutralization of high-value targets with minimal collateral damage—an attribute increasingly critical in modern warfare.
