Re: CLGM Tests Sucessful

LAHAT has a range of 8 km. not sure if from helicopter or land based. Anyway hopefully heli based will have 7-8 km range.

anything greater then 5 KM is good.

Point is that this missile allow non line of sight shooting means one can fire missile without in the sight of target, while someone can paint the target with laser, without disclosing their location.

Warhead is heavy as per our requirement, plus it can be launched from cannon.

Indian CLGM (Cannon-launched Laser Guided Missile) would be similer to LAHAT missile.
Arjun MK-2 and MK-1 tanks will be equipped with CLGM.

CLGM would look like this,

Re: CLGM Tests Sucessful

Hi, sometime back I read about DRDO trying to develop a new version of Nag which will be much lighter (14 kg), and will be usable by the infantry. This CLGM is also launched using a LAW type weapon. So does that mean that the new Nag version has been shelved?

India test fires cannon launched Anti-Tank laser-guided Missile

India test fires cannon launched Anti-Tank laser-guided Missile | idrw.org

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Monday conducted the tests of an advanced version of Cannon-launched Laser Guided Missile (CLGM) from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) off the Odisha coast.

Altogether three rounds of the missile were test-fired from a specially built launcher at the launching complex-II of Chandipur based test range. A defence official said the mission was successful as the missile perfectly destroyed the targets as expected.

"The tests were conducted in between 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm during low tide period. There will be one more round of test on Tuesday. All the data have been collected and would be evaluated after the completion of the mission," he said.

CLGM is a new generation anti-tank missile developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) at Bangalore. It can destroy any target in 3 km to 5 km range. It is an all terrain missile to be used by the army, navy and air force.

This missile has bigger warhead and little slower than original 105-mm Laser Homing Attack or Laser Homing Anti-Tank (LAHAT) from Israel. It would equip the Arjun MK-2 and MK-1 tanks.

"The CLGM uses a laser of a specific frequency bandwidth to locate the target. The laser creates a heat signature on the target. The missile recognises it and homes in on it even if the target is moving," said a defence scientist.

The missile can also target other armoured targets and helicopters at extended ranges. The ADE has developed the missile with global positioning system

In Paki forum, they are saying that Israel gave India Lahat and they call it indigenous now. :rofl:

Guys this missile is not LAHAT. It has hybrid guidance system. It not only tracks the reflected laser but also locks on to the heat signature created by this laser. So even if laser counter measures are deployed, you cant escape this missile. LAHAT has only laser guidance.

Re: CLGM Tests Sucessful

Army will surely go for CLGM as its Arjun`s main anti-tank Missiles..

It depends, Imo NAG is better coz of its guidance.

But why develop two different missiles with same roles?
