TBRL conducts basic and applied research in the fields of high explosives, detonics and shock waves. It is also involved in evolving data and design parameters for new armaments, as well as assessing the terminal effects of ammunition. Other Areas of work Include:
Projects and Products
TBRL is responsible for the development of Explosive lenses for India's Nuclear weapons. These lenses were used on the Nuclear devices detonated in Pokhran-I and Pokhran-II. Apart from this, TBRL also develops explosives-based products for conventional military and civilian use.
Baffle Range for Small Arms - TBRL has designed a bafflerange for Small arms firing. This has reduced the area required as compared to conventional range. Consultancy for construction of such ranges is being provided to various units of Army/Para-military forces.
Indigenous Plastic Bonded Explosive - Developed and established technology for Plastic Bonded Explosives, the latest class of HE compositions with high VOD and higher detonation pressures
Indigenous Digital Blast Data Recorder - This recorder was developed based on a new design technique, for direct measurement of important blast wave parameters
Indigenous Transducer for Blast-Measurement - Developed a blast pressure transducer for measuring pressures up to 14 kgm sqcm. It has a sensitivity of 1400 pc/kgm sqcm with a natural frequency of 200 kHz. These transducers are in regular production and being used by a no. of Laboratories. Impulse Generator : It has been developed for the simulation of impulse noise and testing of artificial earplugs used by Armed Forces Medical Services
Impulse Generator- It has been developed for the simulation of impulse noise and testing of artificial earplugs used by Armed Forces Medical Services
Bund Blasting Device - Bund Blasting Device Designed and developed Bund Blasting Device for breaching operation.
Shivalik Multi Mode Grenade - Multi-mode hand grenade designed and developed with reliability >95%.
Riot control Non-lethal Bullet - TBRL has designed and developed a non-lethal ammunition in two service calibres, a 7.62 mm and.303 inch for effective control of unruly rioting mobs.
IGLOO Magazine - A new construction technique of laced reinforced concrete construction in which continuous bent shear lacing along with longitudinal reinforcements on both faces of structure element are used for improving the ductility and energy absorbing capacity of the structure has been developed for a capacity of 5 Ton explosives. This design is being used by a no. of DRDO labs, Ordnance factories, DGQA and service depots.
Bulletproof Panels/Jackets testing - TBRL offers its expertise and specialised facilities for ballistic evaluation of bulletproof panels/helmets against various small arms ammunitions.
