Bangalore:
IQ Infotech Ltd, a defence projects design and manufacturing company, has
bagged a Rs50-lakh order for making thirty sets of digital sequential machines
(DSM) to be used in drill torpedoes by the Indian Navy. The
company also expects Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd to order advanced versions
of torpedo pre-setters worth a few crore shortly, according to a company press
release. IQ Infotech also has other orders from the Indian Navy and from the
country's missile programme, the release stated. The
DSM is an all-digital system, which simulates the function of an actual torpedo,
according to the release. The signals received from a torpedo pre-setter are
fed into the DSM and the unit reacts as commanded, thereby letting the drill
torpedo take an appropriate course. The capability will be useful in training
and familiarisation for standard practices, the release stated. IQ
Infotech has delivered a number of pre-setters for launching torpedoes from
both ships as well as helicopters. The company's advanced
versions of torpedo pre-setters are qualified by the Navy for Advanced Light
Helicopters (ALH) being manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
