Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) facility has been instrumental in important National Programmes and development of various defence systems.
The facility is being extensively utilized by DRDO and non-DRDO agencies for dynamic evaluation of components, systems & subsystems of aerospace, armaments and missiles during their developments stage.
The Unit under test (UUT) is integrated on a specially designed vehicle called sled which slides on the rails during dynamic test. Solid rocket motors as propulsion system are used for achieving desired dynamic conditions.
At RTRS, UUTs can be evaluated in impact, recovery and interception modes.
Data acquired with various on-board systems, ground stations and telemetry are processed and analysed for performance evaluation.
TBRL has developed a 4th generation ESAD technology based electronic post impact delay fuze for air delivered bomb. EBW detonator based in-line explosive train is incorporated in the fuze to enhance the safety during storage, transportation and usage. The developed fuze is compatible with 2” fuze well and can be upscaled to 3” fuze well. PID Fuze is modular and fail safe.
For bombs in impact and post impact with pre-set delay.
Against hardened deep buried targets such as underground command posts, ammunition dumps etc.
The warhead is currently at the development stage. Warhead Performance evaluation and structural integrity evaluation under dynamic conditions completed. The weight of the warhead is approximately 100 kg.
TBRL has developed an electronic safe and arm device (ESAD) based in-time fuzing system for tandem warhead to defeat Hardened and buried structures. The fuzing system is a combination of two fuzes namely precursor charge warhead (PCW) fuze and Follow through projectile warhead (FTP) fuze. The PCW Fuze gets initiated on impact of the weapon with the target whereas the FTP fuze is of post impact delay type and gets initiated after a set delay. The Fuzing command on impact is provided through an impact switch located at the nose of weapon system. FTP fuze is programmable through RS-422 communication link. Adequate safeties as per the bomb requirements for safe handling during storage, transportation and use are provided. This product has successfully completed penetration trials at RTRS in TBRL, Ramgarh Ranges. The product has very good potential for export.
