DRDO developing a new Hyper Velocity RAM Gun projectile with enhanced performance
The DRDO’s Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) has started the development of a 155-millimeters Next Generation Hyper Velocity Ram Gun (HVRG).
This projectile aims to revolutionize gun systems by offering a common low-drag guided solution capable of executing multiple missions.
The hyper-velocity ram gun projectile is designed to provide increased velocity, maneuverability, and performance enhancements to existing and future gun systems while also adapting to current and future threats.
The compact and high-velocity design of the HVRG eliminates the need for a rocket motor to extend the gun range. This breakthrough allows gun systems to achieve extended ranges without the logistical complexity and cost associated with rocket propulsion. The use of smaller, more accurate rounds not only increases the projectile’s effectiveness but also reduces the risk of collateral damage, enhancing operational safety.
