The missile successfully engaged and neutralised an aerial target, demonstrating the Navy\u2019s robust air defence capability.<br \/>\nThe exercise also featured the successful engagement of surface targets using Loitering Munition (LM), highlighting Pakistan Navy\u2019s precision strike capability in contemporary naval operations. Additionally, successful open-sea trials of an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) were conducted, marking a significant leap in autonomous naval technology. The trials validated the platform\u2019s high-speed performance, mission-critical durability, extreme manoeuvrability, precision navigation, and resilience in challenging weather conditions. The USV offers a low-risk, high-impact solution with the stealth of a tactical interceptor.<br \/>\nCommander Pakistan Fleet witnessed the exercise, which showcased Pakistan Navy\u2019s ability to employ advanced systems effectively in a complex maritime environment.<br \/>\nAdmiral Naveed Ashraf, NI, NI (M), T Bt, Chief of the Naval Staff, commended the officers and men of Pakistan Navy for their professionalism and operational competence.
