A state-of-the-art Static Firing Facility 'Trinetra', for testing of Naval Weapon Systems was inaugurated by Vice Admiral Rajesh Pendharkar, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command, on October 8, 2025 at Naval Station Bheemunipatnam, near Visakhapatnam.
The facility has been indigenously designed and developed, marking a significant step towards self-reliance in testing of weapon systems by reducing dependence on foreign OEMs for life extension and ensuring the sustained operational capability of Naval Armament.
The Static Firing Facility will enable scientific assessment of the combat-worthiness of Naval Weapon Systems by capturing and recording key performance parameters of missiles, rockets and related systems. This will substantially enhance the reliability and precision of Naval Weapon Systems in achieving intended operational outcomes.
The commissioning of 'Trinetra' represents a major milestone in the Indian Navy's weapon testing infrastructure and reinforces its commitment to 'Aatmanirbharta', ensuring enhanced combat readiness and mission capability.
