On May 1, 2024, from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island on the coast of Odisha, the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) successfully tested the Supersonic Missile-Assisted Release of Torpedo (SMART) system. Advanced mechanisms such as velocity control and symmetric separation were validated by the test. The SMART team received praise from DRDO chief Dr. Samir V Kamat and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. SMART, a next-generation lightweight torpedo delivery system, combines a 20-kilometer lightweight torpedo with a supersonic missile carrier with a 643-kilometer range to strengthen the Indian Navy's anti-submarine capabilities.
