It's the first missile developed by the DRDO under a domestic integrated guided missile development program.While tensions between India and Pakistan have been high because of border disputes in Kashmir, the Indian military said the missile test was part of a regular training exercise.The Times of India said the missile can reach a peak altitude of 27 miles. It can carry a 1,100-pound payload and stay in flight for slightly more than 8 minutes.
