DRDO Successfully Conducts 2nd Long-Duration Test of Actively Cooled Scramjet Combustor in Hyderabad

DRDO’s Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) in Hyderabad successfully conducted the second extensive long-duration test of an Actively Cooled Full Scale Scramjet Combustor on May 9, 2026. The combustor operated for over 1200 seconds at the state-of-the-art Scramjet Connect Pipe Test Facility. This significant achievement marks a key step forward in India’s indigenous hypersonic missile development. Active cooling technology is critical for sustaining combustion at hypersonic speeds, where extreme temperatures pose major engineering challenges. The successful test strengthens India’s progress toward operational hypersonic weapons, which offer high speed, manoeuvrability and global strike capability. It further demonstrates DRDO’s advancing expertise in cutting-edge propulsion systems for next-generation defence technologies. India Successfully Flight-Tests Advanced Agni Missile With MIRV Technology From Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island Off Odisha Coast.
