​DRDO transfers technology for Godrej Precision Engineering to produce Mechanical Mine Layer-Self Propelled vehicle.

The Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has concluded a technology transfer licensing agreement with Godrej Precision Engineering for the  Mechanical Mine Layer-Self Propelled (MML-SP) vehicle, the Mumbai-based company announced on 26 February.

The DRDO developed MML-SP (pictured), which is designed for laying antitank landmines in various soil conditions, camouflaging and recording their position accurately.

MML-SP procurement was approved in September 2019 by the Indian Defence Acquisition Council, in order to improve the automated mine-laying capability of the Indian Army.

In line with its Make in India defence equipment production policy, the DRDO transferred technology to Godrej in the belief that the company will accelerate rollout and fielding of the minelaying vehicle.

Godrej Precision Engineering and other businesses in the Godrej & Boyce group of companies have worked with the DRDO on multiple defence systems, such as the BrahMos missile launcher.
