Adani Defence Set to Commence Delivery of ULPGM and VSHORADS to Indian Army from May 18th

In a landmark moment for India's defence sector, Adani Defence is gearing up to deliver two groundbreaking weapon systems – the UAV Launched Precision Guided Munition (ULPGM) and the Very Short-Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) – to the Indian Army starting from May 18th, 2024.

The ULPGM, a collaborative effort with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is a compact missile designed for deployment from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including small quadcopters. This versatile weapon system boasts jamming-proof technology, ensuring accuracy even in contested environments.

Complementing the ULPGM, the VSHORADS, a Man-Portable Air Defence System (MANPAD) developed indigenously by Research Centre Imarat (RCI) in partnership with DRDO and industry players, is designed to neutralize low-altitude aerial threats. This system incorporates advanced features like a miniaturized Reaction Control System (RCS) and integrated avionics, all rigorously tested for reliability.

The delivery of these state-of-the-art systems marks a significant leap forward in India's defense modernization efforts. The ULPGM's precision and adaptability will revolutionize tactical operations, while the VSHORADS will fortify India's air defense capabilities. This achievement underscores India's growing self-reliance in developing cutting-edge defense technologies.

These deliveries are not just isolated events; they represent a broader trend towards indigenous development and production of advanced defense equipment in India. With continued investment and collaboration, the future looks promising for the Indian defense sector.

Can these ULPGMs be integrated on Hermes series, Tapas or other drones that India operates?

I hope ulpgm should be only be integrated on indian drones as it was made for indian drones only, indian missiles must be for indian drones

This is really good news as it's been developed and made 100% indigenously which is what we need to cut down on expensive foreign imports. We need these flexible and light missile which can be quickly deployed wherever it's needed.

They should look at developing small 70mm rockets that we have on our Rudra and Prachand attack helicopters and look at using the ULGM missile as a air to air missile and air to surface targets so we don't have to keep making expensive imports from France.

Companies like Adani,Tata, Reliance and L &T etc are world class companies with capabilities to handle precision hind end technologies and deliver in tight schedule unlike public sector companies. A very encouraging eco system in defense manufacturing is emerging for sure.
