ECIL’s big role in BrahMos

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad-based Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL) has played a major role in the BrahMos system by supplying the Mobile Command Post (MCP) and the Mobile Autonomous Launcher (MAL).

ECIL and the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) were involved from the conceptual stage in the design, development, integration and software development of the prototype of the Command, Control, Communications, Computer and Information System (C4I).

“The prototype has undergone extensive evaluation and field trials and ECIL has emerged the prime production agency for the Weapon Complex,” the company said.

ECIL Chairman and Managing Director K.S. Rajasekhara Rao said the company felt justifiably proud that its efforts were getting due recognition, specially the ultimate user — the armed forces.

He said the missile was developed for the Army for static targets. The combat vehicles were developed based on the C4I concept to plan and coordinate combat operations of the Weapon Complex which comprises MAL and MCP. The missile is launched against a designated target in an optimum manner under a command and control system. The consoles and communication servers are provided with redundant hot standby hardware to provide availability of these systems.
