Pinaka MK-II
The impressive field performance of Pinaka Mk-I system has led to design and development of state-of-the-art long range artillery rocket systems. In pursuit of this, an enhanced version of Pinaka; a 60 km range Pinaka Mk-II Rocket System has been developed with various contemporary technologies compatible with Pinaka ground system keeping the same payload. Range, accuracy and consistency of Pinaka Mk-II rocket have been successfully demonstrated during series of technical trials carried out at ITR, Balasore and Pokran.
