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 MD 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 missile is launched against a designated target .
