6/8. However, challenges remain. The 2021 CAG report (footnote no. 14) flagged persistent delays in merging QRSAM’s command and control components with the Army’s Tactical Communications Grid (TAC-COM). This network-centric bottleneck is rarely discussed in open-source coverage.

2/8. While most reporting emphasizes QRSAM’s mobility, a deeper breakthrough often goes unnoticed. Its radar suites can now scan, lock onto, and transfer target data across entire batteries even as units remain on the move (4). This decentralized and networked fire control was.

1/8. India’s Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) just cleared user trials this July (1), marking a historic shift for Army air defense. For the first time since the 1980s, the force will field a wholly indigenous and mobile system for low-level protection (2). Most
