Q89 (NDA-I/2011) Science & Technology › Space & Defence Technology › Missile and weapon systems Answer Verified

Consider the following pairs : 1. Pinaka : Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher System 2. Nag : Anti Tank Missile System 3. Lakshya: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All three pairs are correctly matched based on Indian defense technology specifications. Pinaka is an indigenously developed Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) system designed by the DRDO to provide high-volume fire in a short duration [t2, t4]. Nag is a third-generation, fire-and-forget Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) system developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) to destroy heavily armored enemy tanks [t3]. Lakshya is a cost-effective, re-usable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that serves as a high-speed target drone for training pilots and testing weapon systems. While the provided snippets focus on Pinaka and Nag [t1, t3], Lakshya is well-established in Indian defense literature as a pilotless target aircraft (UAV). Therefore, all three systems are correctly identified with their respective categories.
