India successfully tested the pilotless target aircraft Lakshya from a base in Orissa Wednesday, official sources said.
The indigenously developed aircraft had a successful test flight at about 12 p.m. from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-Sea, in Balasore district some 230 km from the state capital Bhubaneswar.
Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Lakshya has been tested several times earlier.
Lakshya is a sub-sonic, reusable aerial target system, which is remote-controlled from the ground. It is designed to impart training to pilots in destroying incoming enemy targets.
