Defense Research and Development Organisation completed successful flight testing of the UAV-Launched Precision Guided Missile V3 variant at Kurnool's National Open Area Range facility in Andhra Pradesh. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh praised the achievement through social media posts that highlighted collaboration between government laboratories and private industry partners. The advanced weapon system represents the latest development in India's precision-guided munitions program following earlier V2 models.
Technical specifications remain classified, though the missile features enhanced targeting systems and propulsion capabilities designed for unmanned aerial vehicle deployment. The weapon provides military forces with lightweight, accurate strike options across multiple combat scenarios. DRDO selected the Kurnool testing facility based on its proven track record with advanced defense technologies, particularly laser-based systems and anti-drone weapons. This successful trial advances India's strategic goal of achieving greater independence in critical military technologies through partnerships between research organizations and domestic manufacturing companies.
