India's government-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) test-fired on 21 July a manportable anti-tank guided missile (MPATGM) being developed for the Indian Army (IA).

In a statement issued the same day, the Indian government's Press Information Bureau (PIB) said that the low-weight, fire-and-forget weapon was launched in direct-attack mode from a manportable launcher integrated with a thermal sight, adding that it successfully hit a mock tank target.

This most recent test validated the weapon's minimum range, noted the PIB, adding that the missile had already been flight-tested for maximum range.

The MPATGM features a miniaturised infrared imaging seeker along with advanced avionics, noted the PIB, adding that the test has brought the development of this third-generation ATGM “close to completion”.

Janes understands that the 14.5 kg weapon is armed with an anti-armour tandem-HEAT warhead and features folded wings located behind the main warhead and four folding control fins at the rear.
