The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully test-fired upgraded guided version of Pinaka Rocket from Proof & Experimental Establishment (PXE) at Chandipur, Odisha.
The test was carried out from a multi-barrel launcher at about 10.35 AM from the firing point of the Proof & Experiment Establishment (PXE) under DRDO.
It can fire a salvo of 12 rockets in 44 seconds.
The earlier Pinaka version, which was an unguided one, has now been upgraded into a guided version, with a navigation, guidance and control kit developed by the Research Centre, Imarat (RCI), Hyderabad.
The RCI comes under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The conversion helped in enhancing the range and accuracy of Pinaka. If its range was earlier 40 km, it is more than 70 km now.
Radars, electro-optical systems and telemetry systems at the defence range at Chandipur, tracked and monitored the rocket all through its flight path. The guided version is Pinaka mark-II, which evolved from Pinaka mark-I.
Two rounds of tests have been conducted and some more rounds have been planned.
The Pinaka rocket is to replace the Russian Smerch rocket launch system. The Indian Army has 62 Smerch batteries.
Pinaka Rocket and Launcher
The Defence Ministry is looking to buy six regiments of the multi-barrel rocket launchers, and an order for the acquisition is expected any time now. This order is set to propel state-owned contractors Bharat Earth Movers Limited and the Ordnance Factory Board as well as private defence companies Larsen & Toubro and Tata Power SED. While BEML is to supply the vehicle, L&T and Tata Power SED will build launcher systems. The Ordnance Factory Board will supply the rocket ammunition.
The success of the guided Pinaka has reinforced the technological strength of the country in converting the unguided systems into weapons of high precision. The guided Pinaka was developed jointly by the Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune, the RCI, and the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad. The PXE, Chandipur, provided the range and launch support.
The weapon’s capability to incorporate several types of warheads makes it deadly for the enemy as it can even destroy their solid structures and bunkers.
The performance of an earlier version of Pinaka was lauded during the Kargil War, where it was successful in neutralising enemy positions on mountain tops. The Mark-II version of the rocket is expected to be inducted in the armed forces very soon.

Hello Folks!! I am Vishal Kumar Chauhan recently got recommended in my third attempt from 19 SSB Allahabad with AIR 13.
The journey started on 6th March 2018 when I reached SSB center and we total of 60 guys were allotted 19 SSB.
7th March: The Screening Day
I answered almost all the questions in OIR test. In Picture Perception test, the picture showed a malnourished old aged person standing in front of a slum area. I made a practical story and wrote well in time, narrated the story fluently and confidently without any pause.
After 2-3 hours of waiting, the results were declared and total 30 candidates were screened in.
For screening part, I would like to tell that narration matters a lot. Be fluent while narrating. It has a good impact on assessors.
8th March: Psychology Test
I wrote all TAT stories, attempted all 60 WAT, 60 SRT and completed SDT well before time.
For psychology part, i would like to mention that try to connect most of what you write with your PIQ.
9th March: GTO Day 1
Well. GTO gets a lot more easy when the group is good, when you have a descent knowledge and moreover you are good at communication skills. With all these, I managed to perform satisfactorily in both GD’s and GPE. Now comes that fatta balli task. I gave some ideas, motivated group members and kept myself engaged within the group.
Evening:The Interview
Waited for 45 minutes before my interview. I went inside the room, greeted the IO, had a firm hand shake with him and sat down. Got a nice compliment from IO within few minutes of the interview. He said, ” Vishal. In my entire career, I have not seen any candidate whose educational graph from Class 10th to Graduation has gone up and that too by this good level.” I was literally blushing and thanked him for the compliment. He asked me how I managed to do so. I answered with a witty smile -” Hardwork, sir “. Then the interview went for around 45-50 minutes and revolved around PIQ and my life only except for some general knowledge questions which most of them i wasn’t able to answer. Interview was over and I had very mix type of feelings.
For ithe nterview, remain calm as much as possible and smile as it reflects confidence.
PS.- I had 79.8% in my 10th, 87% in 12th and 87.19% in B. Tech (CSE).
We all were made to run atleast 2 km in the name of warm up and all were cursing the staff. GTO started the day with Command Task. I was called by 2 group members and was given a very simple task which i completed in less than 3 minutes. After that we had Individual Obstacles and I managed to complete 12 obstacles. The day ended with FGT.
11th March: D Day “Conference”
All dressed well and ready for conference. I was expecting some SRT’s during my conference but it went for 3 minutes and i was asked those repetitive questions about stay, food, rate the performance.
We all were sitting and eagerly waiting for the results when the officer came and started announcing results. Chest no. 3, Chest No. 7 and then he said Chest No. 14, that’s me, I said . We stood in the front and the officer told – that’s it guys and he left the hall. Two freshers and I was the only repeater who were recommended. Tears started rolling down my cheeks and within few seconds i burst into tears. I ran out and called my Mom and my best friend Himanshu Joshi.
Medicals :
We underwent medicals for 8 days. I got three TR’s. One got cleared in Appeal Medical Board but two still are pending. Hoping for best in RMB but already prepared for worst i.e. Medical Out.
We really can’t do much in medicals. Somewhere there is luck which plays a damn good role. We need both the recommendations – SSB as well as Medical to get into the dream academy.
For me, medical is still a great challenge ahead. But will continue my journey to become an officer someday or the another if not this time and if not being given PR.
All the best Future Warriors. Make yourself proud!!
Bharat Mata ki Jai 🙂
