Lesson plan
ULPGM
The ULPGM is a family of autonomous, fire-and-forget, precision guided air-to-surface missiles, which can be launched from an unmanned aerial vehicle. This project is a collaboration between the Defence Research and Development Organization, and Bengaluru-based private company Newspace Research & Technologies. The Adani Defence Systems and Technologies and the Bharat Dynamics Limited have been assigned to manufacture the weapon system under the Development cum Production Partner programme (DcPP). It is a component of India's rising focus around precision strikes without necessitating human intervention. With its multi-platform compatibility, lightweight design, and extreme accuracy, ULPGM is intended to give the Indian Armed Forces strategic flexibility on the battlefield. ULPGM can engage a variety of stationary and moving targets. In addition to Newspace Research & Technologies, DRDO is aggressively working with a number of other Indian firms to integrate the missile with long-range and high-endurance UAVs.
