India’s DRDO has successfully completed user evaluation trials of Akash-NG Missile System.
The trials were conducted to validate the missile’s operational readiness and performance under realistic field conditions, with participation from the Indian armed forces as end users.
Akash-NG, an advanced variant of the proven Akash surface-to-air missile, features a modern active electronically scanned array radar, improved reaction time, enhanced maneuverability, and a longer engagement range, enabling it to counter fast-moving and agile aerial threats such as fighter aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles.
During the evaluation, the system demonstrated high accuracy, reliability, and seamless integration with command-and-control networks, reaffirming its capability to operate in diverse operational scenarios.

The successful completion of these trials reflects the growing maturity of indigenous defence technologies under India’s self-reliance initiatives and brings the Akash-NG system closer to induction into the armed forces.
Once deployed, it is expected to significantly strengthen India’s layered air defence architecture while reducing dependence on imported missile systems.
