India has extended its Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) for a potential missile test to a range of 3,550 km, aligning with established missile testing corridors from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island. This extension suggests a controlled re-entry validation or trajectory optimization test, likely involving advanced systems such as the Agni-V or a modified variant. Analysts note that this activity coincides with ongoing tests by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) aimed at enhancing India’s strategic deterrence capabilities. The heightened alert of naval and air surveillance assets underscores the significance of this event, reflecting India’s commitment to maintaining technological readiness and reinforcing its deterrent posture amid evolving geopolitical dynamics.
