DRDO successfully carried out maiden flight-trials of Stratospheric Airship Platform from Sheopur Trial site in Madhya Pradesh on May 03, 2025.

Developed by ADRDE, Agra, the airship was launched carrying an
instrumental payload to an altitude of around 17 kms.

Data from onboard sensors was received and would be utilised for development of high-quality fidelity
simulation models for future high-altitude airship flights. Envelop pressure control and emergency deflation
systems were deployed in flight for their performance evaluation. Trial team recovered the system for further
Investigation. The total duration of the flight was about 62 minutes.

Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO for the successful maiden flight-trial of the system. He stated that this system will uniquely enhance India’s earth observation and Intelligence, Surveillance &
Reconnaissance capabilities, making the country one of the few countries in the world having such indigenous capabilities.
