Indigenously Designed for Indian Naval Ships

The ERASR is a completely indigenous anti-submarine rocket system designed for use with the Indian Navy’s Indigenous Rocket Launcher (IRL). The rocket features a twin-motor configuration to ensure a wide operational range and is equipped with an indigenously developed Electronic Time Fuze for enhanced accuracy and reliability.

All Trial Objectives Successfully Met

A total of 17 ERASR units were test-fired during the trials at varying ranges. Key objectives, including range performance, electronic fuze functionality, and warhead effectiveness, were fully met, confirming the system’s readiness for operational deployment.

Production Partners and Industrial Collaboration

Bharat Dynamics Limited (Hyderabad) and Solar Defence & Aerospace Limited (Nagpur) are the production partners for the ERASR rockets. With user trials successfully completed, the Indian Navy is poised to induct the system shortly.

Strategic Impact

The successful completion of ERASR trials marks a vital milestone in India’s quest for self-reliance in defence manufacturing, reinforcing the nation’s naval strike power and underwater warfare preparedness.
