The '''Maitri missile''' project was a cancelled proposal for a next-generation quick-reaction [[surface-to-air missile]] (QRSAM) with a lethal near-hundred per cent kill probability (according to manufacturer's claim) planned for development by India's [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]]. It is a short-range (strike range varies from 25–30 km) surface-to-air defense missile system.<ref> | The '''Maitri missile''' project was a cancelled proposal for a next-generation quick-reaction [[surface-to-air missile]] (QRSAM) with a lethal near-hundred per cent kill probability (according to manufacturer's claim) planned for development by India's [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]].

The DRDO with MBDA is planning to develop 9 short-range surface-to-air missile system (SRSAM) with 40 missiles each for Indian Navy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-india-revives-joint-missile-project-with-french-firm-2073368|title = India revives joint missile project with French firm|date = 31 March | On 30 March 2015, it was reported that the project was revived specially by the request of [[Indian Navy]] for a point air defence system after stating that Akash missile defence system is not suitable for Indian warships defence.
