5.56 mm INSAS Weapons
Armament laboratories of DRDO
are involved in the development of
arms and ammunition required for
land warfare as well as air delivered
bombs. DRDO has made significant
contributions in the indigenisation of
small arms, mortars, RPG’s, disposable
RL’s, mines, bombs and ammunitions.
High energy propellants and explosive
composition required for missiles, guns
and warheads have been successfully
developed and technology has been
transferred to industries. Multi barrel
rocket launcher system (pinaka) and
modern sub machine carbines for
close combat and bi-modular charge
system for large calibre artillery guns
have been successfully demonstrated
and inducted. It is a matter of great
pride that due to the sustained efforts
of armament cluster of DRDO, the
country has achieved self reliance in
these areas, to a large extent.
n
INSAS consists the following Weapons and ammunition
Rifle Fixed butt and folding butt
n Light Machine Gun (LMG) Fixed and Folding butt
n Ammunition – Ball, Tracer, Blank, Proof and Drill
The highlights of the weapon system are common Ammunition for all the system weapons and have 60-70% common working components. The complete
system is designed and developed indigenously and bulk production established at Indian Ordnance factories. So far more than 9 lakh Rifles, 50 thousand LMGs
and 120 Crore rounds of Ammunition have been produced and supplied to Indian armed forces and other paramilitary forces like BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP NSG, etc.
Rifle 5.56 mm INSAS
The Rifle 5.56mm INSAS is the basic weapon of the system. As compared to the 7.62 SLR weapon it is 25 percent lighter, having 70 percent less recoil and more
compact and comfortable to handle and fire. A foldable butt version of this rifle has also been developed with reduction in overall length of the weapon when
butt folded for Para troopers, Mechanised Infantry and Counter Insurgency (CI) formations.
The Rifle operates on Gas operation principle, close breech and rotating bolt. The rifle can fire in single shot or Three Round Burst . Muzzle velocity is 900m/s
and recoil energy of 4.2 joules. The effective range of both versions is 400m.

5.56 mm INSAS
Ammunition
Mortar Bomb Illuminating 81 mm Mk-II
This ammunition is used for illuminating the large target area during night warfare for surveillance. The
bomb consists of time mechanical fuze, upper body, lower body, buster charge, candle and parachute
assembly. The ammunition can be fired with a minimum range of 800 m to maximum range of 5000 m.
The indigenous 5.56mm ammunition is more
effective in terms of range and lethality as
compared to standard NATO ammunition i.e
Belgium SS 109 type 5.56mm ammunition.
Because of its higher bullet mass, higher
remaining velocity, ballistic shape, the INSAS
ammunition has flat trajectory, increase in hit
probability, higher remaining energy, better
penetration capability as compared to NATO
5.56mm. The tracer round is also developed
for trajectory tracing in the night firing. The
development of both the ammunition and
Blank, Proof & Drill has been completed and
are in bulk production at OF’s.

There are many places across the Himalayan region where highways are
prone to number of geo-hazards such as avalanches, floods, landslides
and debris flow etc. One such site is located at about 20 km from Manali
on the approach road to South Portal of upcoming Rohtang tunnel. To
protect the highway from all such geo-hazards a special type of structure
known as “Geo-Hazard Gallery” is designed with provisions to pass flowing
water, flash flood, debris and avalanche without disturbing the flow of
traffic. It is basically a box type of structure in which there are provisions
to allow the flowing water to pass underneath the carriage way while flash
flood and avalanche over the top of roof. A folded grating is provided on
the upstream side of structure to avoid damage to main structure from the
impact of flowing boulders and for safe rolling down of these boulders, a
grating is also provided on the downstream side. Some other features of
this unique structure are - ogee spillway for smooth passage of flowing
water, retaining wall to take care of active pressure of soil.

Missiles
The glorious story of ‘Guided Missiles’
in India started at the Defence Research
and Development Laboratory (DRDL)
in Hyderabad. Missiles developed
under India’s Integrated Guided
Missile Development Programme got
success all the way. While Prithvi-I and
Prithvi-II have already been inducted
into the Services, the ship Launched
Dhanush (Naval version of Prithvi)
has been weaponised. Development
of Trishul, Akash, and Nag has
been completed; Akash is being
productionised for the Air Force, and
Nag user trials have been completed.
The
development
of
re-entry
technology gave impetus to Agni class
of long range missile systems (Agni-I,
Agni-II, & Agni-III). Agni-I and AgniII have already been inducted into
service and Agni-III has entered the
induction phase. BrahMos, developed
as an Indo-Russian joint venture for
development of a supersonic cruise
missile system, has been inducted
into the Services. AD programme,
wherein exo and endo-atmospheric
interception of incoming ballistic
missiles has been demonstrated
successfully and has further proved
the ballistic missile interception
capabilities of the nation.
DRDO
has
also
undertaken
development of beyond visual range
air-to-air missile Astra, Hypersonic
Technology Demonstration Vehicle
(HSTDV), and joint venture projects like
LRSAM (70 km surface-to-air missile).
DRDO successfully flight tested stateof-the-art 750 km canisterised surfaceto-surface missile system named
‘Shaurya’. This developmental flight
trial of ‘Shaurya’ missile system is a part
of ongoing technology development
work undertaken by DRDO. These
successful developments have given
India the capability to design, develop
and produce all classes of Missiles as
required by defence services.

Aeronautics
DRDO’s flagship programme, India’s
own fourth-generation multi-role
Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas is
almost ready for induction into the
Indian Air Force. Tejas compares with
the best ones in the world. Other
variants of LCA (Tejas), namely, the
trainer and the naval version, are also
being progressed concurrently. The
Electronics Warfare (EW) technology
too has become a DRDO forte. Its
indigenous EW technology is already
installed in most of the Indian military
aircraft and helicopters.
An Advanced Early Warning and
Control (AEW&C) System is also
indigenously developed by DRDO.
DRDO has also successfully developed
and productionised Pilotless Target
Aircraft (Lakshya) and Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAV Nishant), and
efforts are on to develop longendurance and medium altitude
UAVs. DRDO’s other achievements
have been pilot’s life saving
parachutes, aircraft
brake parachutes,
free-fall
combat
parachutes,
spinrecovery
parachutes
and the space-capsule
recovery parachute. Aerial
Delivery Platform, DDS
(Duck Drop System) for
Navy, Aircraft Arrestor
Barriers and Aerostat for
reconnaissance and
surveillance has also
been developed by
DRDO. With this
incredible array
of technologies,
DRDO
can
boast of a high
degree of self-reliance achieved
through the efforts of the Aero cluster
laboratories.

AHS – Arrestor Hook System
Recovery on the ship will be by using aircraft arrestor hook engaging
ship’s arresting gear with 90 meter wire pull. The aircraft will experience a
deceleration of nearly 4.5g during deck landing. Also, nose landing gear
will experience higher loads due to a larger pitch down moment at the
instant of hook engagement.
LEVCON – Leading Edge Vortex
Controller
LEVCON (Leading Edge Vortex Controller) is a deflectable aerodynamic
device in wing apex region. LEVCON surface is deflected 20º (down) to
30º (up) from its neutral position. Upward deflection of LEVCON is used
for reducing approach speed for carrier landing.
Electronics & Computer Sciences
AEROSTAT SYSTEMS
An Aerostat is a lighter than air system that can stay stationary in the air and are tethered to ground. Aerostat balloon derives a lifting force mainly by the
buoyant effect that results from displacement of the higher density air surrounding it. The gas used is helium because it is safest as being inert and does not
burn. Ground based sensors have limited Line Of Sight (LOS) range due to the limitations posed by earth’s curvature. Mounting these sensors on elevated
platforms could increase the LOS range. Aerostats are excellent platforms for these sensors especially in surveillance and communication role for a variety of
civil and military applications.
