BrahMos is an Indo-Russian aerospace joint venture manufacturing missiles. It was started in mid-80s under the leadership of our late President Dr JP Abdul Kalam. BrahMos is one of the major systems of war weaponry that plays a big role in warfare on land, sea or in air respectively. “We already have certain versions of BrahMos in use in our navy and air force, and we are also getting orders from the 4th regiment, which means, we need work more on developing designs and versions of it in future, in order to meet the huge demand,” says Dr SK Mishra, the distinguished scientist and MD of the BrahMos Aerospace Pvt ltd.
In line with our Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Make In India’ policy, I’m happy to tell that the VEM Technologies Pvt ltd here in Hyderabad, which is basically an Aerospace and Defence-related equipment manufacturing Company, has achieved tremendous success in developing this indigenously-made version of F3 fuel system and that too in a record time of just three years.
A commendable accomplishment which even the Russians would not have done given the situation and moreover in a new venture as this, and surprisingly in such a short period of time,” Dr Mishra said while speaking to the media here at the VEM Technologies. This morning, the VEM’s 2nd unit at Hyderabad has ceremonially handed over to Dr Mishra the F3 section of the BrahMos missile system developed by it. The function was attended by the executives from the DRDl, BAPl, DRDO etc.
Speaking over the function, it founder-CEO/MD, Venkata Raju said, “The F3, as its name implies, is a very complex and critical system of Pneumo Hydraulic engineering, consisting of some 3500 components in it, all indigenously designed and manufactured at the VEM by its team of technicians and engineers. The F3 forms a major section in making of the sophisticated BrahMos Missile System in India.”
