Indian Army's DG Artillery Visits Aditya Precitech's Loitering Munition Factory in Hyderabad
Lieutenant General Adosh Kumar, the Director General of Artillery of the Indian Army, visited Aditya Precitech's Loitering Munition Factory in Hyderabad to advance indigenous defense manufacturing. The facility produces PALM systems through a joint venture with UVision Air.
This engagement highlights the Indian Army's focus on enhancing precision strike capabilities with loitering munitions, which can operate from ground, air, or sea platforms. The Army recently received 480 Nagastra-1 units, indicating ongoing modernization efforts.
The visit likely involved assessing production processes and integration with artillery units, reinforcing the emphasis on self-reliance and technology absorption. The Indian Army plans to procure additional systems to improve operational capabilities.
