The apex body, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave the final go ahead for procurement of enhanced range Pinaka rockets as well as area denial munitions (ADM) developed by DRDO.
The ammunition will be made by Munitions India Ltd and Economic Explosives Ltd, both of which have been transferred technology from DRDO. Sources said EEL, which emerged as lowest bidder for the contract, will get 60% of the contract value and MIL will get the remaining 40%, as they have promised to match the lower bid price.
Pinaka Mk-I (Enhanced) Rocket System (EPRS), which has been cleared for acquisition by CCS, has a range of over 45 km and the ability to move quickly after firing at enemy positions. A longer range variant that can strike targets at 75 km range has also been tested successfully and is likely to be ordered in the future. Work is also on to create even longer range variants that can strike targets at 150 km plus.
Pinaka ADM rocket system is a variant of the rockets that can spread hundreds of bomblets across a large area. These bomblets deny the enemy access to the area and can target personnel as well as incoming armour formations.
