BDL Eyes Global Export for Amogha-III Anti-Tank Missile with Dual Mode IIR Seeker and Stealth Features

Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), a leading Indian defence manufacturer, is aiming to secure a place for its indigenously developed Amogha-III anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) in the international arms market.

This third-generation, fire-and-forget missile boasts advanced technology and impressive capabilities, making it a competitive option for militaries worldwide.

Developed by BDL's in-house R&D division, the Amogha-III represents a significant advancement in India's missile technology. With a range of 200 to 2500 meters, it can engage a wide array of armored targets. Its tandem warhead is designed to penetrate over 650 mm of armor, even with Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA), ensuring high lethality against modern tanks.

The Amogha-III incorporates a sophisticated dual-mode imaging infrared (IIR) seeker, allowing for all-weather and day/night operation.This, combined with aerodynamic and thrust vector control, provides exceptional accuracy in both top and direct attack modes.

Furthermore, its smokeless, signature-free propulsion system and soft launch capability enhance the missile's stealth features, minimizing the risk of detection during operation.

By showcasing the missile's advanced capabilities and competitive features, BDL seeks to attract international customers and strengthen India's position as a reliable supplier of high-tech defence equipment.

Meanwhile China already has the mobile AFT-10s armed with 8 ready-to-fire Spike NLOS cloned ATGM missiles & PA01 ‘intelligent tactical precision strike platform' with 12 canisterised CM-501 precision attack ‘fire and forget’ anti-tank missiles capable of striking targets at ranges of 40km. The missile seems to be a copy of the US Precision Attack Missile (XM-501) which did not make it through development. So the Chinese copied the US weapon designation number as well. An extended version of the Chinese missile is likely to have ‘lock on after launch’ capability, enabling the missile to strike targets at a range of 70 km.

This will be extremely useful against armoured vehicles like IFV, APC, light armoured cars and light tanks etc. We should start production as soon as possible in large quantities along with selling it to other countries to reduce manufacturing costs.
