In a significant boost to India’s defence capabilities, the Indian Army is slated to bolster its artillery arsenal with the indigenously developed Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) developed by DRDO, in collaboration with defence industry partners Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) and Bharat Forge Ltd (BFL). The decision to induct 307 state-of-the-art ATAGS is a major step towards ‘modernisation through mediumisation’ of Indian artillery.
