At Aero India 2025, Hyderabad-based Vem Technologies Private Limited introduced the VIDHVANS Guided Rocket, a new system designed to significantly enhance the Indian Army's precision strike capabilities. With a range of 250 km, VIDHVANS can accurately target critical enemy infrastructure deep within hostile territory, offering a significant advantage in modern warfare.
This guided rocket system is specifically engineered to neutralize land-based targets such as bunkers, radar installations, air hangars, and runways. This capability makes VIDHVANS a crucial asset for both offensive and defensive operations, enabling the disruption of enemy logistics and air power. By delivering precision strikes at a 250 km range, it minimizes the risk to friendly forces while maximizing the impact on enemy operations.
Vem Technologies has stated that further development of the VIDHVANS system hinges on securing clearance from the Indian Army. The company is optimistic about obtaining approval and proceeding with funding and demonstrations to showcase the system's full potential.
