Continuing the development of Artillery Rocket Systems, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully test fired extended range version of indigenously developed Pinaka rocket from a Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) on 24th and 25th June 2021 at Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur off the coast of Odisha. Twenty-five Enhanced Pinaka Rockets were launched in quick succession against targets at different ranges. The 122 mm Caliber rockets were launched from a Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL), an official said. All the mission objectives were met during the launches. The enhanced range version of Pinaka Rocket System can destroy targets at distances up to 45 kms. All the flight articles were tracked by Range instruments including Telemetry, Radar and Electro Optical Tracking System deployed by ITR & Proof and Experimental Establishment (PXE). The rocket system has been developed jointly by Pune based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) and High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) with manufacturing support from M/s Economic Explosives Limited, Nagpur. The development of Enhanced Pinaka system was taken up to achieve longer range performance. Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO and the Industry on the successful launch of Enhanced Pinaka Rockets. Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr G Satheesh Reddy commended the efforts of the teams involved in the successful trials..

Pinaka Missile System
Pinaka missile system January 15, 2020 Source: PIB & Army technology Pinaka Missile System developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was successfully flight-tested from the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur off the Odisha coast About Pinaka Missile The Pinaka MK-II Rocket is modified as a missile by integrating with the Navigation, Control and Guidance System to improve the end accuracy and enhance the range. The Navigation system of the missile is also aided by the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). The system has a maximum range of 40 km for Mark-I and 75 km for Mark-II Pinaka is a multibarrel rocket launch (MBRL) system used by the Indian Army. It was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Pinaka integrates state-of-the-art technologies for delivering superior combat performance. Development of Pinaka commenced in 1986 at a Pune-based DRDO facility, known as Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE). DRDO was responsible for the overall design and development. Current launch The mission achieved all the objectives including enhancing the range, accuracy, and sub-system functionality. The missile was fired from the Pinaka launcher system in the deployment configuration. The flight article was tracked by a multiple range of systems viz. Telemetry, Radars, Electro-optical targeting system (EOTS), etc. which confirmed the textbook flight performance. The missile system has been jointly developed by various DRDO Laboratories viz. 1. Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE) 2. Research Centre Imarat (RCI) 3. Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) 4. Proof & Experimental Establishment (PXE) and 5. High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL).

It has 360-degree coverage, light weight, high mobility and shorter second reaction time as compared to „Akash‟. It also uses solid fuel propellant. It has a stated range of strike range of 25-30 km with capability of hitting multiple targets. It is capable of hitting the low flying objects. MEDIUM – RANGE – SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE The new missile system is developed by India‟s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The MRSAM provides the armed forces with air defense capability against a variety of aerial threats at medium ranges. The missile launcher and the command post would be made in India, with the rest of the complex system – including the missile itself – to be made in Israel. IAI will reportedly supply India with 2,000 missiles capable of intercepting enemy aircraft and missiles within a 70-kilometer range. The proposed MRSAM, to replace the old Pechora missiles which currently in service of Indian Defense Forces. The MRSAM missile is equipped with an advanced active radar radio frequency (RF) seeker, advanced rotating phased array radar and a bidirectional data link. 2 | P a g e NATIONAL IAS ACADEMY SUPER40 (BOOKLET NUMBER – 02) CONTACT: 9632334466 The RF seeker, located in the front section of the missile, is used to detect moving targets in all weather conditions.

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) DRDO stands for Defence Research and Development Organisation. It was established in 1958 by the Government of India, under the Ministry of Defence (Raksha Mantralay). Defence is an important and dynamic segment in the UPSC Syllabus. Since DRDO plays a major part in the country’s defence mechanism, it is a very significant topic for IAS aspirants. The Commission has asked several questions related to missile launches, its types, etc. To tackle such factual questions in the UPSC Prelims, it is essential to know about several facts and figures related to the topic. History of DRDO Established in 1958 by the Government of India, it was instituted by combining three major defence organisations namely: • Defence Science Organisation (DSO) • Defence Technical Development Establishment (DTDE) • Directorate of Technical Development and Production (DTDP) With a project in 1960 on Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM), the Project Indigo was the DRDO’s first major defence project. This project was discontinued without any success. DRDO started with just 10 different laboratories in the country and now haw has more than 50 labs across the nation researching in different sectors of technology and defence. List of DRDO Labs Find all the laboratories that are administered by the Defence Research and Development Organisation below.
