Indian Army Artillery Gun System Purchase: The Cabinet Committee on Security Affairs headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the acquisition of the Made in India Advanced Todd Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) costing about Rs 7,000 crore. This is a big step towards the self -sufficiency of the country in the defense sector. Atags are the first indigenously designed, developed and built 155 mm artillery guns, which is ready to enhance the operational capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces with its state -of -the -art technology and better firepower.
Specialty of atags
- Atags are an advanced todd artillery gun system.
- It has a long barrel of 52-caliber.
- It allows an extended firing range up to 40 kilometers.
- It is seen as a game-chanter.
- With its large caliber, the system ensures high firepower.
- There is also a capacity of automatic deployment, target engagement.
- The crew provides more explosive payload, reducing fatigue of the team.
What will the army benefit
- This acceptance will increase India’s strength in indigenous defense manufacturing and technological progress.
- The artillery of the Indian Army will be modern instead of the old 105 mm and 130 mm cannons.
- Its deployment on the western and northern borders of the country will provide an important strategic edge to the armed forces.
- This will ensure an increase in operational readiness and firepower.
Who made atags
A proof of ‘Make in India’ initiative, ATAGS has been developed through cooperation between Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Indian private industry partners. More than 65 percent of its components have been sourced domestically, including major subcontums such as barrels, muzzle brakes, breech mechanisms, firing and recording systems and ammunition handling mechanisms. This development not only strengthens India’s defense industry, but also reduces dependence on foreign imports. Being a fully indigenous system, ATAGS will benefit from a strong supply chain and uninterrupted life cycle maintenance. The domestic -level developed system ensures long -term product support, which strengthens India’s self -sufficiency in defense technology.
Jobs will also increase
One of the main advantages of ATAGS is that it has minimal dependence on foreign components. Important subcutams such as navigation systems, Mazal Velocity radar and sensor have been indigenously designed and sourced, which has reduced India’s dependence on foreign technology and imports significantly. ATAGS acceptance and manufacturing will generate adequate employment, which will create estimated 20 lakh human-days in various industries. Additionally, this development is expected to strengthen India’s position in the global defense export market, which will pave the way for indigenous defense exports in the future.
