India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has concluded validation trials of the indigenously developed 155 mm/52-calibre Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) for the Indian Army.

Co-developer of the gun system, Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL), said in a tweet that ‘Preliminary Service Quality Requirements' (PSQR) evaluations of the ATAGS were conducted on 2 May.

The DRDO said the PSQR trials were held at its Pokhran field firing ranges in Rajasthan, northern India, from April 26 to May 2. According to both the DRDO and TASL, the trials were successful at proving the reliability and performance of the gun system.

An official from the DRDO was quoted by The Hindu newspaper as saying that further trials of the ATAGS are scheduled for May – for electromagnetic compatibility and for the Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) Directorate General of Quality Assurance – before possible issuance of a request for proposal (RFP) document later this year.
