[8] Prahaar is developed to provide a cost-effective, quick-reaction, all-weather, all-terrain, highly accurate battlefield support tactical weapon system.

[14] During the test, the missile traveled a distance of 150 km (93 mi) in about 250 seconds[3] meeting all launch objectives and struck a pre-designated target in the Bay of Bengal with a high degree of accuracy of less than 10 m (33 ft).

[9] On 20 September 2018, Prahaar was test fired for the second time from a road-mobile launcher capable of carrying 6 missiles at ITR Complex III, Chandipur.

The configuration of the new missile called Pranash has been frozen by DRDO with the developmental trials beginning from 2021.

It will carry a conventional warhead, powered by single-stage solid propellant which will be offered for user trials within two years.
