The DRDO Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW) is a long-range precision-guided anti-airfield weapon developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It is designed to be capable of engaging ground targets with high precision up to a range of 100 kilometres (62 mi).
The SAAW project was approved by the Government of India in 2013. The first successful test of the weapon was conducted in May 2016. Another successful test was conducted in November of the following year. This was followed by a series of three successful tests in December 2017.
Between 16 and 18 August 2018, three successful tests were conducted, which brought the total number of tests to eight.
In September 2020, the SAAW was approved for procurement by the Indian Government for the Navy and the Air Force.
