			In November 2025, the Advanced Centre for Energetic Materials conducted a successful static test of the 10-ton-class, stage-2 rocket motor for the K-5 SLBM at the Armament & Combat Engineering Systems facility in Hyderabad. The solid rocket motor's effectiveness and reliability for ballistic performance, safety margins, subsystem integration, burn time, thrust, and structural integrity under operating conditions were confirmed.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Mishra \|first=Tarun \|date=2025-11-27 \|title=What is K-5 nuclear missile & is India closing Bay of Bengal to test it? \|url=https://www.wionews.com/photos/what-is-k-5-nuclear-missile-is-india-closing-bay-of-bengal-to-test-it-1764256362695 \|access-date=2025-12-30 \|website=Wion \|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|last= \|first= \|date=2025-11-13 \|title=DRDO Successfully Conducts Static Test of Stage-2 Rocket Motor \|url=https://raksha-anirveda.com/drdo-successfully-conducts-static-test-of-stage-2-rocket-motor/ \|access-date=2025-12-30 \|website=raksha-anirveda.com \|language=en-US}}</ref> The rocket motor's composite shell is composed of epofine resin and T700 carbon fiber. It has dimensions of {{convert\|2.68\|m\|ft}} in length and {{convert\|2.49\|m\|ft}} in diameter. For maximum burn efficiency, it uses HD 1.3 composite propellant with a nine-fin grain arrangement. The motor has a submerged nozzle with dual actuators for flexing during control simulations, and the test used a pyrogen-type igniting system. Using two electro-mechanical actuators, the nozzle flex test achieved ± 2° of movement, and the results matched expected performance curves.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=PRATIBIMB 2025: SHAPING PERCEPTIONS IN THE AGE OF INFORMATION WARFARE \|url=https://www.drdo.gov.in/drdo/sites/default/files/publication-document/NL_Nov2025.pdf \|access-date=2025-12-30 \|website=Defence Research and Development Organisation}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web \|last=Sato \|first=Daisuke \|date=2025-11-12 \|title=India prepares for K-5 submarine-launched ballistic missile test \|url=https://defence-blog.com/india-prepares-for-k-5-submarine-launched-ballistic-missile-test/ \|access-date=2025-12-30 \|website=defence-blog.com \|language=en-US}}</ref>
