NIBE Limited successfully completed technical trials for its Vayu Astra-1 Loitering Munition against an Indian Army Request for Proposal. The trials were conducted at Pokhran (Rajasthan) and Joshimath (Malari), Uttarakhand. Key achievements include: Anti-Personal strike test hitting a target 100 km away with CEP under 1 meter; Anti-Armor night strike with 2-meter CEP and demonstrated control handover to 70 km away station; High-altitude endurance flight exceeding 90 minutes at over 14,000 feet with safe recovery. This is a significant step as the trial was conducted against an official Army RFP, indicating the product is being considered for procurement.
Successful trial completion against Indian Army RFP positions NIBE for potential defence contract award, which could be material if converted to an order. This enhances the company's credibility in the defence sector and advances their loitering munition product toward actual procurement.
