The Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO) Man-Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile (MP-ATGM) has successfully completed comprehensive trials at the Pokhran range, demonstrating its tandem HEAT warhead’s capability to defeat modern reactive armoured targets, fulfilling the Indian Army’s stringent lethality requirements. This third-generation missile employs advanced imaging infrared seekers with AI-assisted fire-and-forget capability, supporting both top-attack and direct-attack modes. Weighing under 15 kg and with a range of 200 meters to 2.5 kilometers, the MP-ATGM is optimized for rapid infantry deployment and marks a significant step towards indigenous self-reliance in defence technology. Following this success, the Indian Army has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a fourth-generation ATGM featuring multimode seekers and networked fire-control systems, reflecting a strategic drive to enhance anti-armour capabilities aligned with evolving battlefield dynamics. Mass production by Bharat Dynamics Limited is anticipated soon after formal induction, underscoring India’s commitment to strengthening domestic defence manufacturing and reducing reliance on foreign systems. This development plays a key role in enhancing operational preparedness amid complex regional security challenges.
