DRDO Successfully Tests UAV-Launched Missile V3

26 Jul 2025 CW Team

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully conducted flight trials of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Launched Precision Guided Missile (ULPGM)-V3 at the National Open Area Range in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh.

The ULPGM-V3, an upgraded version of the earlier ULPGM-V2, features a high-definition dual-channel seeker, day-and-night operational capability, and a two-way data link that allows post-launch target updates. It can be fitted with three modular warheads – anti-armour, penetration-cum-blast for bunkers, and pre-fragmentation for high lethality.

The missile was released from an indigenous UAV developed by Bengaluru-based start-up Newspace Research Technologies. Over 30 MSMEs and start-ups, along with partners such as Adani Defence and Bharat Dynamics Limited, contributed to the project.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO and its partners, stating that the achievement demonstrates India’s capability to design and produce critical defence technologies indigenously.
