Vem Technologies Unveils 250km-Range VIDHVANS Guided Rocket for Deep Precision Strikes, Seeks Indian Army Clearance to Advance Development

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.

Key Specifications and Capabilities​

The VIDHVANS guided rocket boasts advanced features designed for high-precision, long-range strikes. Key specifications include:

• Maximum Range: 250 km
• Weight: Less than 600 kg
• Length: Less than 6 meters
• Propulsion: Solid rocket motor
• Navigation: GPS-assisted Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
• Precision: Circular Error Probable (CEP) better than 10 meters
• Actuation: Electro-mechanical actuation
• Launching: Canister-based launch system
• Control: Aerodynamic control surfaces
• Targeting: Land targets such as bunkers, radar installations, air hangars, and runway denial

These features position VIDHVANS as a cutting-edge precision-guided munition (PGM) capable of striking high-value military targets with pinpoint accuracy, even at extended ranges. The combination of GPS-assisted navigation and IMU-based guidance ensures exceptional accuracy, with a CEP of less than 10 meters. This level of precision is essential in modern warfare to minimize collateral damage and effectively neutralize specific targets.

The development of VIDHVANS underscores the growing emphasis on precision strike capabilities in modern military strategies. With its extended range and advanced guidance system, this guided rocket has the potential to reshape the battlefield and provide a significant advantage to the Indian Army.

That's good range 250 KM, they should also work with IAF for air launch version it will good option especially with Tejas MK1A instead of missile low cast rockets.

 

[Bhishma]

Fascinating. wish them good luck. Hope to see more Indian startups get into this business

 

[Dipesh Debnath]

Good development. Add a glide mode and the range can increase to 400km

 

[Venkat S]

Indian Army needs such rockets in 1000s. Hope they find their way into Indian army arsenal.

 

[Sandeep]

This will definitely help us on offensive missions so we should definitely have a closer look a the details, technology and type of warhead to use. We should also make sure that it’s 100% indigenously designed, developed and manufactured in India.

 

[Indrakumar Salam]

Give the private entity a chance, they seems to do better than public undertaking.

 

[मित्र]

These new players are doing much much better in innovation and development.

 

[Pankaj]

It's an impressive achievement from the Indian private sector. DRDO is still struggling for Pinaka MK3 after working for such a long duration with plenty of government funds.

 

[RajeshN]

Fascinating. wish them good luck. Hope to see more Indian startups get into this business

Last 2 years same lisening from VEM tech

 

[Saurabh54]

Well done. Our private sector is really capable. Only way to improve the private sector in defence is to sideline DRDO and give chance and support to real innovators.

Pinaka is way better than this. That can be a cheap solution
