Just for future ref, as we know already, there are plans for MPATGM integration with the battle platforms. This project is a mission mode one so lets see.
DRDO & Indian Army conduct successful trials of indigenous Man Portable Anti-tank Guided Missile Weapon System
Man Portable Anti-tank Guided Missile (MPATGM) Weapon System, indigenously designed and developed by
pib.gov.in
Nag mk2 s band antenna likely to be made by AMPL , wonder if the same would be available for mpatgm ?
If large numbers of such indigenous inducted ,then we can field this at LOC & do precision targeting on bunkers & enemy vehicles.
What's the declared penetration thickness?
710 mm+ of RHA for now. This will improve once DRDO has completed work on the new EFP warhead.
For comparison, Javelin can do 760 mm RHA. But it is a heavier missile. Javelin missile weighs 15+ kg & the MPATGM weighs 14.5 kg.
There are few other warheads with the MCHEW series, I think Mchew 4 and 7 tot also offered. Posted it a while ago in the missile thread.
Amogha-3 is a watered-down version of the MPATGM. Reduced weight, reduced range, reduced armour penetration & of course reduced price.
BDL is now in conversation with some foreign country to export the Amogha-3. They haven't mentioned which country. I think it is Armenia. Amogha-3 would be an upgrade over the 2nd generation SACLOS guided Konkurs-M they purchased from BDL last year.
