Throat Insert for Pinaka rocket launcher
The existing throat insert used in Pinaka rocket launcher is made from imported grade of carbo-graphite material. DRDO has now developed the throat insert from indigenous grade of carbo-graphite material and the developed throat inserts have been handed over to ARDE Pune in Aug 2024 for fitment & performance evaluation. Tests have been conducted and found to meet the user’s requirement. After qualifying the material properties, dimensional check with no internal flaw, the clearance to evaluate their performance through firing test has been accorded.
