Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory
Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) is a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) which comes under Ministry of Defence. Located in Chandigarh, the laboratory has become one of the major DRDO labs in the field of armament studies. TBRL is organized under the cluster of missiles and strategic system of DRDO. The present director of TBRL is Prateek Kishore.
TBRL was envisaged in 1961 as a modern armament research laboratory under the Department of Defence Research & Development. It became fully operational in 1967 and was formally inaugurated in January 1968 by the then Defence Minister.
While the main laboratory is situated in Chandigarh, the firing range, spread over an area of 5,000-acre (20 km2), is located at Ramgarh in Haryana, 22 km away from Chandigarh.
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:
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.
In 2019, TBRL has developed a Non-lethal Riot control Plastic bullets for use by paramilitary forces and police, including usage for crowd control in Jammu and Kashmir manufactured by the Indian Ordnance Factories. In 2020, TBRL produced 10,000 full-face protective shields designed for the examination of COVID-19 patients, which were provided to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research.
