Akash-NG Explained: How India’s New Missile Strengthens Air Defence Against Drones & Cruise Missiles

India has successfully completed user evaluation trials of the Akash Next Generation (Akash-NG) air defence missile system at the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur.
Unlike development trials, these tests focused on combat-ready performance in real operational conditions.
Akash-NG demonstrated its ability to intercept high-speed, low-altitude targets, including cruise-missile-like threats, and engage multiple aerial targets simultaneously. With a rapid firing capability and strong low-altitude accuracy, it strengthens India’s defence against drones, UAVs and saturation attacks.
The system is entirely indigenous — featuring an active RF seeker, dual-pulse rocket motor, and network-centric radar and command systems integrated with the Indian Air Force’s IACCS. This reduces dependence on foreign technology and enhances resilience against sanctions and electronic warfare.
Strategically, Akash-NG fills the medium-range layer in India’s multi-tier air defence doctrine, complementing VSHORAD systems and long-range SAMs.
