Defense Advances: Army Trials New Guided Missile System

In New Delhi, a significant milestone has been achieved by the Indian Army with the successful completion of field trials of an indigenously conceived man-portable anti-tank guided missile (MPATGM) weapon system, thereby paving the way for its incorporation into the military’s arsenal. Officials from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) have confirmed the development and design of this advanced system.

The comprehensive system comprises the MPATGM, launchers, a target acquisition apparatus, and a fire control unit. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praised the DRDO and the Indian Army for the trials’ success, noting this as a crucial stride towards self-sufficiency in sophisticated, technology-driven defense capabilities.

The MPATGM system has been tested in various flight formations multiple times with the goal of showcasing its advanced technology with high excellence, according to the defense ministry. “The warhead flight trials were executed flawlessly at the Pokhran Field Firing Range on April 13, exhibiting outstanding missile and warhead performance,” the ministry announced on Sunday.

The ministry further stated that an ample number of missile firing trials have been conducted to ensure adherence to the full operational range as defined by the General Staff Qualitative Requirements. “Tests on the tandem warhead system of MPATGM have been successfully completed, proving its capability to penetrate and defeat contemporary armored main battle tanks,” the statement continued.

The weapon system is capable of functioning efficiently both during daylight and nighttime operations. “The dual-mode seeker enhances the missile’s aptitude for armored combat. Consequently, the system has been demonstrated and validated, and it now stands ready for final user evaluations, paving the path for its induction into the Indian Army,” the ministry declared. DRDO Chairman Samir V. Kamat lauded all teams involved in the trials for their efforts.
