The HSTDV, developed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), was test-fired through the Agni missile at 11.03 am. According to government sources, this means that in the next five years DRDO will develop hypersonic missiles using Scramjet engines, which will have a Mach 6 speed.

The test was carried out under the leadership of DRDO Chief Satish Reddy and his hypersonic missile team. HDTDV succeeded on all parameters including combustion chamber pressure, air intake, and control. At 11.03 am the Agin missile booster took the hypersonic vehicle to a height of 30 km, after which the two separated.

In the future, HSTDV will not only be used for making hypersonic cruise missiles, but it will also help in launching a satellite for a very low cost. The HSTDV will be used as a vehicle for hypersonic and long-range cruise missiles.

Prime Minister also congratulated DRDO for the successful testing of the Hypersonic Test Demonstration Vehicle today.
