New Delhi: In proceeding for India’s homegron defense capabilities, Defense Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) of Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) announced on Friday that it has completed 1,000-cooled scamgate subsidy under its scumjet Connect Test Facility, 1,000-cool-cocamous ground test success was completed. Was.
A scumjet is a type of jet engine designed for hypersonic speed. Unlike typical jet engines, it does not have moving parts such as turbines or compressors. Instead, it depends on the high speed of the aircraft to compress the incoming air.
The government said in a statement on Friday that it comes after the achievement First 120 second test In January, the platform was set up for the wider, flying combustible combustion tests prescribed at the end of this year. This called an important milestone in hypersonic weapon technology.

Hypersonic missiles represent a category of weapons capable of gaining more than 5 speeds, which is equal to more than five times or more than 6,100 kilometers per hour.
Many countries, especially the US, Russia and China, are currently engaged in the development of hypersonic technology. These advanced weapons have the ability to bypass existing air defense systems and distribute rapid and high impact attacks. The Central to Sustain is a hypersonic flight scramjet.
By maintaining stable combustion for more than 16 minutes under internal temperatures of more than 1,800 ° C, DRDO has validated both the active-cooling thermal-management system of the combster and the performance of new test-bed infrastructure.
Absorbs fuel transmitted through internal channels and removes excessive heat, enables continuous operation, an achievement that many people see as one of the most difficult technical barriers in hypersonics.
“A successful 1,000-second run is a strong base for the country’s hypersonic cruise missile development program,” the statement said.
The milestone inspires India’s purpose to develop a long-range, Mach 6-Plus Cruise missiles that can effectively bypass contemporary air-defense systems and globally get a larger range of hypersonic missiles than those in the operation globally.
