The QRSAM weapon system is designed to track targets on the move and can be launched using a mobile launcher capable of carrying six canisterised missiles.

The QRSAM system has been designed by DRDO along with Bharat Electronics Limited and Bharat Dynamics Limited for the Indian Army.

India had earlier tested the missile system in December last year firing two missiles. It was deployed in eastern Ladakh in June this year amid the India-China standoff along the Line of Actual Control(LAC).

Indian forces have carried out at least seven tests earlier of the missile system.
