The Man-Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile (MPATGM), an indigenous anti-tank missile system, has undergone rigorous testing to validate its efficacy across diverse conditions, culminating in the successful completion of developmental trials. Spearheaded by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), these trials have affirmed the readiness and reliability of the MPATGM weapon system.
Comprising the missile itself, a launcher, a targeting system, and a fire control unit, the MPATGM system has been subjected to extensive testing to ensure its operational effectiveness in varied environments. These tests, conducted per the specifications outlined by the Indian Army, have demonstrated the system's capability to meet stringent performance criteria.
Significantly, recent trials have specifically assessed the warhead performance of the missile, yielding exceptionally positive outcomes, particularly in engagements against modern tanks. Notably, the MPATGM exhibits versatility by enabling both day and night attacks, while also possessing the capability to engage targets from aerial vantage points.
Following the successful completion of these trials, the MPATGM is poised for final evaluation by the Indian Army, marking a critical milestone before its official induction into service. This achievement underscores India's strides in indigenous defense technology and signifies a significant enhancement in the country's defense capabilities.
