L&T hits Brahmos TLC stride
Larsen & Toubro Defence (L&T) has delivered the 100th set of Brahmos transport-storage launch canisters (TLC) to BrahMos Aerospace from its recently-updated manufacturing facility at Ranoli in Gujarat, India.
The TLC is designed for the storage, transportation and launch of Brahmos supersonic cruise missiles. Manufacture of the TLC requires specialised automated winding processes with distinctive layers made out of glass and carbon pre-impregnated fibre materials.
L&T opened its add-on production line for Brahmos TLC at Ranoli in July 2018 to support serial production of the Brahmos weapon system.
