		Slip-ups are natural in design and development, but the cost and time involved in indigenous arms projects have resulted in rising concerns that the massive Rs 10,000 crore plus investment that the country has made since the mid-1980s may end up as junk.
		DRDO officials acknowledge that there were problems with the plume of the missile's engine that disrupted communication links with the ground.
		DRDO officials maintain that Trishul's usp -- the ability to be launched within eight seconds of the detection of a target -- makes it better than any contemporary sam of its class.
