Los esfuerzos para la modernizaci\u00f3n de los sistemas de artiller\u00eda del Ej\u00e9rcito de India se enfocan principalmente en desarrollos propios, tal cual lo establece el Programa \u201cMade in India\u201d que impulsa la autonom\u00eda tecnol\u00f3gica y productiva para su Base Industrial de Defensa. Los principales sistemas de artiller\u00eda que se est\u00e1n incorporando o que recibir\u00edan mejoras son: los ATAGS (Advanced Towed Artillery Ground System \u2013 155 mm \/ L52) del cual se completar\u00eda provisi\u00f3n de 307 unidades en este a\u00f1o; el incremento de alcance de sus cohetes Pinaka a m\u00e1s de 90km y aumentar la flota de veh\u00edculos de Artiller\u00eda Autopropulsados SPH K9 Vajra hasta llegar a las 200 unidades para fines de 2025. M\u00e1s poder de fuego, m\u00e1s movilidad y m\u00e1s alcance para un Ej\u00e9rcito que se prepara para enfrentar los desaf\u00edos futuros.<\/p>\n

The Indian Army is advancing its artillery modernisation efforts by focusing on indigenous platforms like the Pinaka rocket system, Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) and K9 Vajra self-propelled artillery systems. These measures align with the government\u2019s ‘Make in India’ initiative, showcasing a push toward self-reliance in defence.<\/p>\n

The Pinaka rocket system, a symbol of India\u2019s indigenous defence capabilities, has seen its range extended to 72 kilometres, with ongoing efforts to increase it further to 90 kilometres and beyond.<\/p>\n

Speaking at his annual press conference, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi addressed questions about Pinaka\u2019s future enhancements, saying that work is underway to develop ammunition with greater range.<\/p>\n

“If the extended-range ammunition meets our requirements, we may not need other long-range systems. Pinaka could become our primary focus,” General Dwivedi said.<\/p>\n

Sources suggest that the system’s range could eventually be extended to 120 kilometres, surpassing the current 90-kilometre range of the Russian-origin Smerch system. This would position Pinaka as a formidable weapon in the Army’s arsenal, capable of delivering precision strikes over longer distances.<\/p>\n

Atags procurement in final stages<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Army is also advancing the procurement of the Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS), a state-of-the-art 155mm howitzer developed indigenously. The acquisition of 307 ATAGS guns, worth Rs 8,000 crore, is expected to be finalised by March 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

These guns boast a range of up to 45 kilometres and are being adapted into Mounted Gun Systems (MGS) by integrating them onto trucks. Trials for the MGS are slated to conclude by 2026.<\/p>\n

“We aim to sign the ATAGS contract by the end of this fiscal year,” General Dwivedi confirmed.<\/p>\n

K9 Vajra expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, the Army plans to bolster its fleet of K9 Vajra self-propelled artillery systems. The existing 100 K9 Vajra guns, which have proven their effectiveness in desert, plain, and high-altitude conditions such as Ladakh, will be complemented by an additional 100 units by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

These developments underline the Army’s commitment to indigenous solutions, aligning with the government\u2019s ‘Make in India’ initiative. The enhanced Pinaka system, combined with ATAGS and K9 Vajra, signifies a leap forward in India’s artillery modernisation, ensuring that the Army remains well-prepared to meet future challenges.<\/p>\n
