Project Kusha (also known as ERADS[a] or PGLRSAM[b]) is an Indian long-range mobile surface-to-air missile system being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). The missile system will consist of at least three types of interceptors and is expected to be deployed by the Indian Air Force by 2028–2029.[1][4]
It will supplement the Indo-Israeli Barak 8, Russian S-400 and Indian Ballistic Missile Defence System in the Indian armed forces.
