Armaments

ArmamentsArmament laboratories of DRDO are involved in the development of arms and ammunition required for land warfare as well as air delivered bombs. DRDO has made significant contributions in the indigenisation of small arms, mortars, RPG’s, disposable RL’s, mines, bombs and ammunitions. High energy propellants and explosive composition required for missiles, guns and warheads have been successfully developed and technology has been transferred to industries. Multi barrel rocket launcher system (pinaka) and modern sub machine carbines for close combat and bi-modular charge system for large calibre artillery guns have been successfully demonstrated and inducted. It is a matter of great pride that due to the sustained efforts of armament cluster of DRDO, the country has achieved self reliance in these areas, to a large extent.

n Light Machine Gun (LMG) Fixed and Folding butt

n Ammunition – Ball, Tracer, Blank, Proof and Drill

The highlights of the weapon system are common Ammunition for all the system weapons and have 60-70% common working components. The complete system is designed and developed indigenously and bulk production established at Indian Ordnance factories. So far more than 9 lakh Rifles, 50 thousand LMGs and 120 Crore rounds of Ammunition have been produced and supplied to Indian armed forces and other paramilitary forces like BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP NSG, etc.

rIflE 5.56 mm InSASThe Rifle 5.56mm INSAS is the basic weapon of the system. As compared to the 7.62 SLR weapon it is 25 percent lighter, having 70 percent less recoil and more compact and comfortable to handle and fire. A foldable butt version of this rifle has also been developed with reduction in overall length of the weapon when butt folded for Para troopers, Mechanised Infantry and Counter Insurgency (CI) formations.

The Rifle operates on Gas operation principle, close breech and rotating bolt. The rifle can fire in single shot or Three Round Burst . Muzzle velocity is 900m/s and recoil energy of 4.2 joules. The effective range of both versions is 400m.

5.56 mm InSAS AMMunITIon The indigenous 5.56mm ammunition is more effective in terms of range and lethality as compared to standard NATO ammunition i.e Belgium SS 109 type 5.56mm ammunition. Because of its higher bullet mass, higher remaining velocity, ballistic shape, the INSAS ammunition has flat trajectory, increase in hit probability, higher remaining energy, better penetration capability as compared to NATO 5.56mm. The tracer round is also developed for trajectory tracing in the night firing. The development of both the ammunition and Blank, Proof & Drill has been completed and are in bulk production at OF’s.

n Impact initiation of Hollow Charge (HC) warheads.

n Electro-acoustic transducers for SONAR systems.

n Sensors for sea mines, torpedoes and imaging arrays.

There are many places across the Himalayan region where highways are prone to number of geo-hazards such as avalanches, floods, landslides and debris flow etc. One such site is located at about 20 km from Manali on the approach road to South Portal of upcoming Rohtang tunnel. To protect the highway from all such geo-hazards a special type of structure known as “Geo-Hazard Gallery” is designed with provisions to pass flowing water, flash flood, debris and avalanche without disturbing the flow of traffic. It is basically a box type of structure in which there are provisions to allow the flowing water to pass underneath the carriage way while flash flood and avalanche over the top of roof. A folded grating is provided on the upstream side of structure to avoid damage to main structure from the impact of flowing boulders and for safe rolling down of these boulders, a grating is also provided on the downstream side. Some other features of this unique structure are - ogee spillway for smooth passage of flowing water, retaining wall to take care of active pressure of soil.

Missiles

MissilesThe glorious story of ‘Guided Missiles’ in India started at the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) in Hyderabad. Missiles developed under India’s Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme got success all the way. While Prithvi-I and Prithvi-II have already been inducted into the Services, the ship Launched Dhanush (Naval version of Prithvi) has been weaponised. Development of Trishul, Akash, and Nag has been completed; Akash is being productionised for the Air Force, and Nag user trials have been completed. The development of re-entry technology gave impetus to Agni class of long range missile systems (Agni-I, Agni-II, & Agni-III). Agni-I and Agni-II have already been inducted into service and Agni-III has entered the induction phase. BrahMos, developed as an Indo-Russian joint venture for development of a supersonic cruise missile system, has been inducted into the Services. AD programme, wherein exo and endo-atmospheric interception of incoming ballistic missiles has been demonstrated successfully and has further proved the ballistic missile interception capabilities of the nation.

DRDO has also undertaken development of beyond visual range air-to-air missile Astra, Hypersonic Technology Demonstration Vehicle (HSTDV), and joint venture projects like LRSAM (70 km surface-to-air missile). DRDO successfully flight tested state-of-the-art 750 km canisterised surface-to-surface missile system named ‘Shaurya’. This developmental flight trial of ‘Shaurya’ missile system is a part of ongoing technology development work undertaken by DRDO. These successful developments have given India the capability to design, develop and produce all classes of Missiles as required by defence services.

SHAuryADRDO successfully flight tested state-of-the-art 750 km canisterised surface-to-surface missile system named ‘Shaurya’. This developmental flight trial of ‘shaurya’ missile system is a part of ongoing technology development work undertaken by DRDO.

The Shaurya Missile system has a unique feature of simplicity of operation and maintenance. The canisterised missile system can be easily handled, transported and stored within the canister for longer shelf life. The high manoeuvrability of the missile makes it less vulnerable to anti-missile defence systems.

AHS – ArrESTor Hook SySTEMRecovery on the ship will be by using aircraft arrestor hook engaging ship’s arresting gear with 90 meter wire pull. The aircraft will experience a deceleration of nearly 4.5g during deck landing. Also, nose landing gear will experience higher loads due to a larger pitch down moment at the instant of hook engagement.

lEVCon – lEAdIng EdgE VorTEX ConTrollErLEVCON (Leading Edge Vortex Controller) is a deflectable aerodynamic device in wing apex region. LEVCON surface is deflected 20º (down) to 30º (up) from its neutral position. Upward deflection of LEVCON is used for reducing approach speed for carrier landing.

AEroSTAT SySTEMSAn Aerostat is a lighter than air system that can stay stationary in the air and are tethered to ground. Aerostat balloon derives a lifting force mainly by the buoyant effect that results from displacement of the higher density air surrounding it. The gas used is helium because it is safest as being inert and does not burn. Ground based sensors have limited Line Of Sight (LOS) range due to the limitations posed by earth’s curvature. Mounting these sensors on elevated platforms could increase the LOS range. Aerostats are excellent platforms for these sensors especially in surveillance and communication role for a variety of civil and military applications.
