DRDO has successfully carried out a high-speed rocket-sled test of a fighter aircraft escape system at the Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) facility of the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) in Chandigarh. The test is a major breakthrough in enhancing pilot safety, as it validated canopy severance, ejection sequencing, and full aircrew-recovery capability under dynamic conditions. Unlike static tests such as Net Tests or Zero-Zero Tests, dynamic ejection trials are significantly more co

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has conducted a successful high-speed rocket-sled test of fighter aircraft escape system at controlled velocity. The test at Rail Track Rocket Sled facility of the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory, Chandigarh, validated canopy severance, ejection sequencing and complete aircrew-recovery. 📹DRDO | The Hindu
