The ADM Type-1 for the PINAKA MLRS features a specialised warhead designed to deploy sub-munitions over a large area, effectively targeting mechanised forces, vehicles, and personnel, thus denying the enemy specific zones. On the other hand, the HEPF Mk-1 (Enhanced) rockets are an advanced version of the current HEPF rockets and offer increased range and precision, enabling deep strikes into enemy territory with enhanced lethality.
The procurement of these advanced munitions will significantly modernise India’s Artillery Rocket Regiments, providing them with the capability to deliver long-range, precise strikes, reinforcing the firepower of the Indian Army. This marks a pivotal step forward in the ongoing process of modernising India’s defence infrastructure.
Beyond strengthening national defence, these projects hold immense potential for employment generation, particularly within India’s Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector. The local manufacturing of key components for these munitions and systems will contribute to both direct and indirect job creation, in line with the government’s ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ vision.
