Talking about the improvements done to the Pinaka, a multi-barrel rocket laucher system that has a range of 30 kilometers, he said, “Today, we have already successfully test fired a guided Pinaka for 65 kilometers. This will provide a tremendous boost to the capability of the armed forces, once it goes into production,” the minister said.

The serviceability rate of the Sukhoi Su-30 — a twin-engine multi-role fighter aircraft in service with the Indian Air Force — has risen to 60 per cent, said Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit on Thursday.
The serviceability rate or the availability rate is the number of aircraft ready for missions at any given time. Parrikar while speaking at an aerospace and defence seminar at Mahatma Mandir said that along with the Sukhois, the serviceability rates of the helicopter fleet with the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force have also risen after Rs 400 crore was invested in setting up after-sales-service units for both Su-30 and the helicopters.
“When I became Raksha Mantri, I realised that the Su-30 (Sukois), the main fighter of Indian Air Force has a serviceability of 46 per cent. The helicopter fleet of the Indian Army and Air Force supplied through HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) had a serviceability of somewhere around 50 per cent. It is too low. The minimum international standards one expects is about 70-75 per cent. Sometimes you can even achieve 80 per cent-plus. Because making one fighter available more saves you the cost of buying a new fighter (aircraft). You have 300 fighters and only 150 or 140 are capable of taking on the task, I think you are not good. We decided to improve this,” Parrikar told to an audience that consisted of officials from the Ministry of Defence and firms operating in the defence sector.
“The biggest problem I faced was after sales service. Defence PSUs considered after sales service as an expense and not an investment. Virtually convincing them in setting up a after-sales-service unit at various Army locations, took us almost a year. Finally when the board agree and we set up the unit. Today I am happy to say that Su-30 has already achieved around 60 per cent of serviceability and the helicopter fleet is more than 65 per cent. That is an achievement simply by investing around Rs 400 crore,” he said.
“Customer satisfaction is so much important that in the first one year I was having complaints on a daily basis; today hardly any complaints come,” the minister said while narrating his experience.
Pointing to the proposed sale of “Akash” surface-to-air missiles to Vietnam, Parrikar said, “There is a strange mindset. For example the Akash exports, there was a thinking that how can we give our technology to a third country.”
“India after more than 30 years, has successfully developed its own artillery gun… Field trail has been completed for Dhanush,” he said while talking about the 155m artillery gun which is largely based on the Bofors gun, but has a longer range of about 10 kilometers. This gun will be part of the Republic Day parade on January 26, officials said.
“Another self-propelled gun — 155mm — is in the final stage of being ordered. This is a joint venture between Larsen & Tuboro and South Korea’s Samsung. It has more than 50 per cent of the components which are Made in India. The first slot, probably, will be ordered during the current financial year. This is one of the Make in India project,” Parrikar said.
Talking about the improvements done to the Pinaka, a multi-barrel rocket laucher system that has a range of 30 kilometers, he said, “Today, we have already successfully test fired a guided Pinaka for 65 kilometers. This will provide a tremendous boost to the capability of the armed forces, once it goes into production,” the minister said.
“During the current year, 95 per cent of the acceptance of necessity (AON), that means clearance for procurement are either IDDM (Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured) or Buy India. Which means, virtually 95 per cent of the almost Rs 96,000 crore worth of products for which we have given approvals this year, belongs to these two categories. That shows the importance of change in mindset in the procurement procedure. These are for capital procurement,” Parrikar said
“For the first time, defence items were being identified for private sector manufacturing. We are in the process of finalising the items and terms and conditions of the RFP (Request for Proposal),” Parrikar said.

Guided rocket Pinaka Mark-II test fired successfully
BHUBANESWAR: Pinaka rocket, which has now transformed into guided Pinaka, was successfully test fired from a defence test facility off Odisha coast on Thursday.
Defence sources said the Mark-II version of Pinaka rocket was test fired from Launch Complex-III of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-sea at about 12:15 PM.
“All the mission objectives were successfully met during the trial. All the radars, electro optical and telemetry systems at Chandipur tracked and monitored the weapon all through the flight path,” said a defence official.
The guided Pinaka has been combinedly developed by Pune-based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), Hyderabad-based Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL).
Pinaka Rocket Mark-II, which has evolved from Pinaka Mark-I, is equipped with navigation, guidance and control kit and is converted to a guided Pinaka. This conversion has facilitated enhancement of its strike range and considerably improved its accuracy.
The rocket was fired from a multi-barrel rocket launcher (MBRL). The rocket launcher can fire 12 rockets with 1.2 tonne of high explosives within 44 seconds and destroy a target area of four sq km at a time. The quick reaction time and high rate of fire of the system gives an edge to the Army during a low-intensity conflict situation.
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 official said.
The performance of 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.
ARDE Director Dr KM Rajan, RCI Director BHVS Narayana Murthy, ITR Director Dr BK Das and Director of Proof and Experimental Establishment (PXE) R Appavuraj monitored the launch operations while the armed forces team witnessed the flight test.
Scientific Adviser to Defence Minister and Director-General (Missiles and Strategic Systems) Dr G Satheesh Reddy was present during the mission. DRDO Chairman Dr S Christopher congratulated the teams participated in the successful mission.
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has also congratulated DRDO, industries involved for development of the rocket and armed forces for the successful flight test of guided Pinaka.

Successful Pinaka guided rocket test portends boost to army firepower
By Ajai Shukla
Business Standard, 13th Jan 17
On Thursday, at Chandipur, Odisha, the successful test firing of a Pinaka guided rocket moves the army closer to having the ability to pulverise terrorist camps or enemy units that are 70 kilometres away.
The Pinaka is an indigenous “multi-barrelled rocket launcher” (MBRL). It consists of 12 tubes mounted on a high-mobility Tatra vehicle, each of which fires a rocket. These can be fired in a salvo, less than four seconds apart. A battery, with six Pinaka launchers, fires 72 rockets in 44 seconds.
The salvo effect is critical, bringing down immense firepower on the target before enemy troops can take cover.
“The test-firing has met all mission objectives. The radars, electro-optical and telemetry systems at Chandipur tracked and monitored the vehicle all through the flight-path”, said the defence ministry after the test.
So far, the unguided version of the Pinaka could engage targets 38 km away. Now, the guided version, called the Pinaka Mark II, almost doubles that range.
The army is keen on inducting the Pinaka quickly and in large numbers, especially after tensions escalated on the Line of Control (LoC) last year. In November, the defence ministry bought two regiments (18 launchers each) of the Pinaka Mark I for Rs 3,230 crore, supplementing two regiments bought earlier.
Now, however, the Pinaka Mark II will take centre stage. In this, each individual guided rocket is guided separately, with an on-board computer calculating its flight path, and a transmitter and receiver on the launcher sending signals to keep it on path. Every 20 microseconds, a navigation device calculates the rocket’s position and sends a path correction message through the radio link.
To correct its flight path, the rocket is shifted through thrust vectors, i.e. gases coming out from the propulsion system through nozzles.
“The Pinaka Rocket Mark-II, which evolved from Pinaka Mark-I is equipped with a navigation, guidance and control kit and has been transformed to a Guided Pinaka. This conversion has considerably enhanced the range and accuracy of Pinaka”, said a defence ministry release.
The Pinaka Mark II can fire a single rocket, or a specified number of rockets. The launcher can be loaded with a mix of guided and unguided rockets. If the commander wants to fire a single guided rocket at a target, the system will sense which position is loaded with a guided rocket. The firing circuit will automatically select that position.
The Pinaka has been designed and developed by the Armament Research & Development Establishment, Pune (ARDE), the DRDO’s most prolific laboratory, which has already inducted more than Rs 40,000 crore worth of arms and ammunition into service.
The ARDE’s budget is barely one per cent of the DRDO’s annual budget; it has five per cent of the DRDO’s total manpower; but 70 per cent of the equipment the Ordnance Factories (OFs) are manufacturing for the army has been developed by ARDE.
The Pinaka, however, is not built by the OFs, but by two private sector companies: Larsen & Toubro, and Tata Power (Strategic Engineering Division), who are the designated “original equipment manufacturers” (OEMs) for the Pinaka system.
