Jaipur / Jaisalmer: The Pinaka Extended Range Multi-Barrel Rocket System was successfully tested at the Pokhran range on Saturday.
This system has been designed jointly by the Organizational Laboratory of Research and Defense Development (Drdo), Weapon Research and Development Development (Arde), Pune, and High Energy Material Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune.
DRODO along with the Indian army conducted a series of trials of performance evaluations from rockets produced by this industry in the field shooting range for the past three days.
In this trial, the upgraded series of pinaka ranges was fired in a range that was different from the various capabilities of warheads.
Drdo, after setting the performance efficacy of Enhanced Range Pinaka, transferring system technology to the industry.
Industrial partners have produced MK-1 pinaka rocket which is enhanced by the Drdo handle handle during production and quality assurance.
In the continuation of technology absorption transfer, rocket developed by the industry has undergone performance evaluations and quality certification processes.
Hands hold during production, quality assurance, and coordination of launches for mass production are provided by the DRDO design team and QA agency nominated for the system.
All test purposes are fulfilled satisfactorily.
24 rockets were fired for various ranges and capabilities of warheads to meet the purpose of accuracy and consistency.
With this, the initial phase of absorption of pinaka-er technology by industrial partners has been successfully completed making industrial partners ready for the production of rocket system series.
Pinaka-er is an enhanced version of a longer Pinaka version, which has been operating with Indian soldiers over the past decade.
This system has been designed in the light of requirements that arise with advanced technology that increases the range.
The Denial Denial Munition (ADM) variant was designed by Arde, Pune, for Pinaka, and produced by industrial partners under the transfer of technology successfully carried out in the range of shooting pokhran fields.
