Context
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) recently conducted the successful final developmental trial of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Launched Precision Guided Missile-Version 3 (ULPGM-V3) at the Kurnool test range in Andhra Pradesh. The missile represents a major advancement in India's indigenous drone-based precision strike capabilities and strengthens the country's focus on next-generation warfare technologies.
Background
ULPGM-V3 is an advanced version of the earlier ULPGM-V2 missile developed by DRDO. The system has been specifically designed for launch from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones. The growing role of drones in modern conflicts, particularly in recent wars such as the Russia–Ukraine conflict, has highlighted the importance of low-cost, precision-guided weapons capable of engaging high-value targets without risking human pilots.
