Big Boost

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is developing a technology in what could be the basis for future air to air, surface to air and air to ground missiles. Project SFDR, which stands for Solid Fuel Ducted Rocket or a solid booster cum Ramjet propulsion, is being worked upon by Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) lab for some years now and it had even called tenders for manufacturing the launcher way back in 2015. The SFDR will be attached with a solid booster to initially propel it to speeds at which it can start operating.
