India advances its defense self-reliance by integrating DRDO’s indigenous INDIGIS Geographic Information System into the Pralay tactical quasi-ballistic missile system, announced on December 9, 2025. Developed by DRDO’s Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, INDIGIS equips battery commanders with a secure, offline digital mapping platform for real-time battlefield visualization, including launcher positions, missile variants, range rings, and high-value targets, while adhering to military standards like MIL-2525D. This eliminates foreign GIS dependencies, enabling advanced terrain analysis and standardized mission planning for the 150-500 km range Pralay missile, which uses a depressed quasi-ballistic trajectory and “shoot-and-scoot” tactics from mobile transporter-erector-launchers. The upgrade completes a fully domestic trifecta—missile, guidance, and GIS—paving the way for Army Rocket Forces induction between 2026 and 2027, strengthening India’s strategic posture amid regional threats.
