History
India began to develop indigenous
missiles through the Integrated Guided
Missile Development Programme
(IGMDP), which gave BDL an opportunity
–to be closely involved with the
programme wherein it was identified as
the Prime Production Agency. This
opened up a plethora of opportunities to
assimilate advanced manufacturing and
programme management technologies
and skills. Responding to the Concurrent
Engineering Approaches adopted by
DRDO in IGMDP, BDL was seen as a
reliable and trust worthy ally, and resulted
in the induction of India's first state-of-
the-art Surface-to-Surface Missile Prithvi.
BDL has delivered Prithvi to the three
services as per requirements. BDL has
forayed into the field of under water
weapon systems and air-to-air missiles
and associated equipment with
technology support from DRDO and other
players in this domain.

Operations
BDL has been consistently incurring
profits and has been nominated as a Mini
Ratna – Category-I Company by the
Government of India. Showing steady
progress in its operations over the years,
BDL achieved a record sales turnover of
₹10.75 billion in 2012–13. BDL has
orders worth over ₹180 billion. Keeping
pace with the modernisation of the
Indian Armed Forces, BDL is poised to
enter new avenues of manufacturing
covering a wide range of weapon
systems such as: Surface to Air Missiles,
Air Defence Systems, Heavy Weight
Torpedoes, Air to Air Missiles, making it a
defence equipment manufacturer. BDL
has also entered into the arena of
refurbishment of old missiles.

medium-range surface-to-air missile
defence system developed by the
Defence Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO), and supported by
Ordnance Factories Board and Bharat
Electronics (BEL) in India.[4][5][6] The
missile system can target aircraft up to
30 km away, at altitudes up to 18,000
m.[7] A pre-fragmented warhead could
potentially give the missile the capability
to destroy both aircraft and warheads
from ballistic missiles.[8][9] It is in
operational service with the Indian Army
and the Indian Air Force.

Advanced Light Weight Torpedo[10]

It can be launched from a Ship , a

Helicopter , submarine as well and
available as both war shot / exercise
modes. Homing can be passive / active /
mixed modes. Multiple search pattern
capability.

Counter Measures Dispensing

Systems

Counter Measures Dispensing System

(CMDS) is chaff and flare dispensing
system. CMDS is an airborne defensive
system providing self-protection to the
aircraft by passive ECM against radar
guided & IR seeking, air & ground
launched missiles. Protection to the
aircraft is achieved by misguiding the
missiles by dispensing of chaff and/or
flare payloads.

of 75 to 4000 meters.

Salient Features : Can be launched either

from BMP-2 or from ground launcher.
Tandem Warhead Simple in operation
and immune to Electronic Counter
measures High hit and kill probability
Portable and Para droppable.
Hermetically sealed ensuring long
storage life.
