The Proof and Experimental Establishment (PXE), one of the laboratories of DRDO, has been playing a vital role in keeping all Indians safe by delivering quality armament systems to the Defence forces.
This has been possible due to a battery of sophisticated instrumentation systems and motivated, dedicated and highly specialised human resources, said PXE Director DK Joshi on Sunday while addressing a gathering.
“We are blessed with a beautiful sea bed for carrying out tests and evaluation. In the weaponry front, Dhanush gun system, Advanced towed artillery gun (ATAG) system , various variants of Multi barrel Pinaka launching system, Anti-submarine rockets system, anti-aircraft gun system and different types of fuses to name but a few, are being tested and evaluated under four ranges of PXE unit.
The range system is being upgraded keeping pace with the demand of time. It has become world class by inducting more sophisticated reliable instruments," he said.Recently the telemetry system was inducted. It is on the path of development and further it is stressing on the indigenous development of of its equipment in line of Atma Nirbhar Bharat. The unit has been playing a key role for the defence forces of India and is committed to deliver quality products in future, Joshi said. Due to Covid restrictions, the unit based at Chandipur here held the celebrations of foundation day as well as ‘Swarnim Amrit Mahatsov’ in a limited manner. However, it felicitated several scientists, technicians and men for their notable contributions. It also gave away prizes to the winners of various competitions held earlier, he told.
