The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully completed the final development trials of the ULPGM-V3 missile in both air-to-ground and air-to-air modes. The trials were conducted at the DRDO test range in Kurnool using an integrated Ground Control System. The ULPGM-V3 is designed for anti-tank warfare and can also target drones, helicopters, and other aerial threats. Research Centre Imarat (RCI) acted as the nodal laboratory with support from DRDL, TBRL, and HEMRL. The missile system was integrated with UAV platforms developed by NewSpace Research and Technologies, while production is being managed by Bharat Dynamics Limited and Adani Defence & Aerospace.
