At the Aero India 2025 exhibition, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India introduced a new prototype of a 155 mm guided projectile, designed specifically for the Bharat Forge Limited’s (BFL) 155 mm/52 calibre Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS).
This innovative munition, captured in an image by idrw.org, has an fin-stabilized projectile, guided by a combination of GPS and an Inertial Navigation System (INS). Measuring 1 meter in length and weighing approximately 50 kg, the projectile is engineered to extend the firing range of the ATAGS to between 40 and 50 kilometers. According to DRDO officials, this guided projectile is still in its design and development phase, indicating future enhancements and potential production.
The ATAGS itself is a product of collaboration between the DRDO and major industry players including BFL, its subsidiary Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL), and Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL). This partnership underscores India’s push towards self-reliance in defense manufacturing, especially in advanced artillery systems.
