Coimbatore: L&T MBDA Missile Systems (LTMMSL), a joint venture between Larsen & Toubro (L&T), India’s multinational engineering conglomerate and private sector defence major, and MBDA, a world leader in missile systems, has set up a Missile (inert) Integration facility in Coimbatore.
With an eye on domestic and global markets, LTMMSL has set up the assembly, inert (without explosives) integration and testing facility for Missile Sub-systems and Missile Weapon Launch Systems spread across an area of 16,000 sq. meter in a Special Economic Zone at Coimbatore which is a part of the Tamil Nadu Defence Industrial Corridor.
The new facility shall start delivering sophisticated weapon systems using state-of-the-art test equipment such as Missile Launchers and Airframe segments, including control actuation units, from 2020.
Commenting on this, J D Patil, Chairman LTMMSL, said: “LTMMSL has been working proactively to offer advanced missiles and missile systems to the Indian Armed Forces through domestic production. The creation of this new integration facility at Coimbatore is a first step in this direction. We are showcasing some of these next-gen offerings at the DEFEXPO20 to be held at Lucknow.”
Vice Chairman and Member of the Board LTMMSL, Pasquale Di Bartolomeo, said: “The setting up of this new state of the art facility in Coimbatore is an exciting and highly significant milestone for the L&T MBDA Missile Systems joint venture and for the Indian defence industry sector. With the technical and human capabilities offered by this site, India will be ideally placed to offer its armed forces and the export market, the very latest generation of defence equipment technology.”
LTMMSL will build complete Missile Systems for the Indian Armed Forces exploring prospects under the
Buy (Indian – IDDM-'Indigenously Designed, Developed & Manufactured') and Buy & Make (Indian) categories for Defence Procurement.
LTMMSL has also responded to Indian Navy’s Air Defence requirement for Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile System (SRSAM). Going forward, LTMMSL is offering the Exocet MM 40 Block 3 anti-ship missile, and the 5th Generation Anti-tank guided missile (ATGM5) to the Indian Armed Forces.
ATGM5 will draw on the next generation technologies of the MMP battlefield anti-tank weapon that has already entered the service in France. ATGM5 will be an IDDM product, involving the transfer of key technologies to India.
L&T owns 51% stake in LTMMSL and MBDA owns 49%, thus fully complying with India’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy.
