Consider the following statements with reference to Pinaka Rocket

1. The navigation system of the missile is linked with the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System.
2. The enhanced range version of Pinaka Rocket System can destroy targets at distances up to 45 kms.

Select the correct statement.

Pinaka Rocket

• It is primarily a multi-barrel rocket system (MBRL) system, which has been indigenously developed.
• It has been developed jointly by Pune based Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) and High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) with manufacturing support from M/s Economic Explosives Limited, Nagpur.
• The long range artillery systems like Pinaka are used for attacking the adversary targets prior to the close quarter battles which involve smaller range artillery, armoured elements and the infantry.

Hence both statements are correct.
