This firing is a crucial step towards accomplishing self-reliance in niche missile technology and reaffirms the Indian Navy's obligation to indigenization. The mission has fulfilled all its goals.

It is the first indigenous air-launched Anti-ship missile system for the Indian Navy. The missile pursued the desired sea-skimming trajectory and achieved the designated mark with a high degree of precision, substantiating the supervision, suggestion, and mission algorithms.
