Indian Army Pursues LMV-Mounted Precision Missile for Infantry Operations
The Indian Army is advancing its capabilities by collaborating with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to develop a new Precision Guided Missile, known as ULPGM V3, designed for mounting on Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs). This new system is intended to provide infantry forces with a powerful weapon to engage enemy positions effectively.
The ULPGM V3, an improved version of the ULPGM V1 already in service, is expected to have a significantly longer range. While the V1 can hit targets up to 4 kilometers away, the V3 will extend this range to nearly 12 kilometers, allowing strikes from safer distances and providing greater battlefield flexibility.

A notable feature of the ULPGM V3 is its cold launch capability, meaning it can be deployed from an LMV without causing heat-related damage to the vehicle or crew. The missile will come with various warhead options, including a Roof Buster warhead for fortified structures and an Anti-armor/Anti-tank warhead to neutralize enemy vehicles.
Incorporating cutting-edge technology, the ULPGM V3 will feature an Anti-armor/Anti-tank warhead with kinetic capabilities and an Infrared (IIR) seeker for precise targeting. This advanced system will operate autonomously with minimal human control, ensuring accurate guidance and maximum impact on the battlefield.
