Imaging Infrared Homing Seeker
India successfully flight-tested the third-generation MPATGM on 11 January 2026 at the KK Ranges in Ahilya Nagar, Maharashtra.
The Man-Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile (MPATGM) is a key indigenous development by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to enhance the Indian Army's anti-tank capabilities. It utilizes a state-of-the-art dual-mode imaging infrared (IIR) homing seeker, allowing for fire-and-forget engagement. This technology ensures the missile can neutralize armored targets autonomously after launch, day or night. The testing in early 2026 marks a significant step in India's mission toward self-reliance in defense (Aatmanirbhar Bharat).
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is the primary agency under the Ministry of Defence responsible for the design and development of military technology in India. It was established in 1958 and operates under the Department of Defence Research and Development. The DGAFMS also coordinates medical support for these armed forces under the Ministry of Defence.
Date of successful test: 11 January 2026
Test Location: KK Ranges, Ahilya Nagar, Maharashtra
Missile Weight: 14.50 kg
Developer: Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
Manufacturers: Bharat Dynamics Limited and Bharat Electronics Limited
B is correct тАФ The MPATGM utilizes an advanced Imaging Infrared Homing Seeker to provide precise fire-and-forget target acquisition in diverse light conditions.
Remember that 'Imaging Infrared' (IIR) technology is standard for modern 3rd-generation ATGMs because it creates a thermal image of the target, unlike legacy wire-guided systems that require the operator to keep the target in view.
