Lucknow: Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO) High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) on Friday signed technology development contract with Russia’s Rosoboronexport for development of Advanced Pyrotechnic Ignition Systems.
HEMRL is the DRDO laboratory working in the development of spectrum of high energy materials required for missiles, rockets and guns.
The contract was signed at the ongoing mega defence show DefExpo 2020 here.
Director HEMRL KPS Murthy said that this will enable advancement in the field of energetic materials and pyrotechnic technology leading to the development of advanced ignition systems.
“This will meet futuristic requirements of high-performance propulsion systems,” the director said.
He added that the propulsion systems are the power behind the rockets and missiles.
This technology development will facilitate design and development of state of art solid rocket motors for upcoming products.
These products will be based on compact and energy efficient propulsion systems.
