Ameya Precision Engineers has been awarded a contract to supply Empty PCB Warhead Assemblies for the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)’s advanced Rudram III missile. The delivery is expected to take place before the end of this year, marking a significant milestone in India’s indigenous missile development program.
Rudram III is an air-to-surface missile with a remarkable range of 550 kilometres and a peak terminal speed of Mach 5. Designed to neutralize heavily fortified military installations, this missile can engage a variety of targets, including radiating targets and ground-based infrastructure such as bunkers, buildings, and shelters.
DRDO is set to begin captive flight trials of the Rudram III next year. These trials are crucial for validating the missile’s performance, reliability, and integration with the intended delivery platforms. Successful completion of these trials will pave the way for the missile’s induction into the Indian Armed Forces.
