 Why in News

  • The Indian Army is enhancing its artillery capabilities with a focus on Pinaka rockets and developing extended range rockets.

  • There is a move to diversify the vendor base for 155mm artillery shells to build resilient supply chains.

  • Strategies learned from the Ukraine war and the Israel-Gaza conflict are influencing these military upgrades.

Pinaka Rockets

  • The Pinaka, a Multi-Barrel Rocket-Launcher (MBRL) system named after Shiva’s bow, can fire a salvo of 12 rockets over a period of 44 seconds.

  • The development of the Pinaka was started by the DRDO in the late 1980s

  • Came in as an alternative to the Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher systems of Russian make called the ‘Grad’, which are still used by some regiments.

  • After successful tests of Pinaka Mark-1 in the late 1990, it was first used successfully in the battlefield during the 1999 Kargil War.

  • Current version is equipped with advanced technology to enhance its strength. 

  • The metal weight is lesser compared to the earlier version.

  • Pinaka can fire various types of ammunition, enhancing its battlefield effectiveness. 

  • Existing tested system can achieve a range of up to 45km which is a big feat for the Indian Army.

  • Trials for guided extended range Pinaka rockets are ongoing, aiming to increase their range to 75 km and improve precision.
