In a significant development aimed at enhancing the Indian Army’s capabilities, the military is currently engaged in discussions with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to develop a new UAV-Launched Precision Guided Missile (ULPGM) V3. The proposed missile, designed to be mounted on Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs), promises to provide infantry units with a potent weapon system for assaulting enemy positions.
The ULPGM V3, a successor to the already inducted ULPGM V1, is expected to offer a significantly increased range compared to its predecessor. While the V1 boasts a range of 4 kilometres, the V3 is likely to have a range of nearly 12 kilometres. This extended range will enable the missile to strike targets at a greater distance, enhancing the safety of troops.
One of the key features of the ULPGM V3 is its cold launch capability. This means the missile can be launched from an LMV without the need for a hot launch, reducing the risk of damage to the vehicle and its crew. The missile will be equipped with a variety of warheads, including a Roof Buster warhead for targeting fortified positions and an Anti-armor/Anti-tank warhead for neutralizing enemy vehicles.
The ULPGM V3 will also incorporate advanced technology, including an Anti-armor/Anti-tank warhead with kinetic capability and an Infrared (IIR) seeker for accurate target acquisition. The missile will be fully autonomous, requiring minimal human intervention, and will offer precise guidance for maximum effectiveness.
