The missile employs a HEAT warhead
Laser-Guided Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) was test-fired from MBT Arjun Tank at KK Ranges, Armoured Corps Centre and School (ACC&S) Ahmednagar on 22 Sep 2020.
In these tests, the ATGM successfully defeated a target located at 3 km.
The ATGMs lock and track the targets with the help of laser designation to ensure precision hit accuracy, said the Ministry of Defence on 23 Sept 2020.
The missile employs a tandem HEAT warhead to defeat Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) protected armoured vehicles.
It has been developed with multiple-platform launch capability and is currently undergoing technical evaluation trials from the gun of MBT Arjun.
Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE) Pune in association with High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) Pune, and Instruments Research & Development Establishment (IRDE) Dehradun have developed the missile. #defence #manufacturing #makeinIndia #missile #technology /fiinews.com
