IIT-Kanpur, Ordnance Factory Medak Develop India's 1st Soft Recovery System
The Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, (IIT-K) and Ordnance Factory Medak (OFMK), Telangana, a unit of Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited, in a joint effort developed India's first soft recovery system (SRS) for supersonic projectile.
The SRS bears the potential to arrest the motion of a 30 mm supersonic projectile moving at a speed of roughly Mach 3 -- three times the speed of sound within a distance of nearly 50 metres.
The technology was developed under leadership of Nachiketa Tiwari of IIT-K and Alok Prasad, General Manager of OFMK.
An SRS is used for the recovery of a projectile after initial impact with minimum damage to ensure the development of smart and intelligent warheads with maximum effectiveness and minimum collateral damage.
