DAC approves 500 anti-tank missiles, BrahMos launcher
Rs 4,276 crore Procurement proposals get green signal
The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) on Tuesday approved the procurement of 500 HELINA anti-tank guided missiles and Very Short-Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) missile for the northern borders with China.
The DAC is chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
Three acquisition proposals, amounting to Rs 4,276 crore, have been accorded acceptance of necessity (AoN), the Ministry of Defence said.
The council accorded the AoN for the procurement of HELINA anti-tank guided missiles, launchers and associated support equipment, which will be integrated with the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH). The missile is an essential part of weaponisation of the ALH for countering enemy threat. Its induction will strengthen the offensive capability of the Army.
The DAC also accorded AoN for the procurement of VSHORADS (IR Homing) missile system under the design and development by the DRDO. In view of the recent developments along the northern borders, there is a need to focus on effective air defence weapon systems, which are man-portable and can be deployed quickly in rugged terrain and maritime domain.
“The procurement of VSHORADS as a robust and quickly deployable system will strengthen the air defence capabilities,” the MoD said.
The DAC also granted approval for the procurement of BrahMos missile launcher and fire-control system for the Shivalik class of ships and Next-Generation Missile Vessels (NGMVs) for the Navy. With their induction, these ships would have enhanced capability to carry out maritime strike operations, interdicting and destroying enemy warships and merchant vessels.

DAC Approves HELINA Missiles For Rudra Helicopters: A Made-In-India Boost To Army's Anti-Tank Capabilities
The Defence Acquisitions Council (DAC) headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh this evening approved the Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) to buy 3 systems, including Helicopter launched NAG (HELINA) anti-tank missile.
HELINA will be used from Rudra, an armed variant of the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv, manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). The Rudra can carry a maximum of 8 HELINAs on its wing-mounted launchers.
The missile has been developed by the DRDO and is capable of engaging tanks at ranges of about 7-8 KM using its advanced infra-red (IIR) seeker operating in the lock-on-before-launch mode. DRDO claims it is one of the most advanced anti-tank missiles in the world.
HELINA was last successfully tested in April 2022 at the Pokhran testing range in Rajasthan and proved successful on all test parameters.
The missile carries an 8-kilogram warhead and is able to engage targets in all weather conditions, both during the day and at night.
It can defeat tanks with both conventional armour and explosive reactive armour in both direct and top-attack modes. In top-attack mode, the missile rises and hits from the top, which is the least protected part of the tank.
The DAC has granted AON for two more systems, BrahMos missile launchers for the Shivalik class frigate and Next-generation missile vessels of the Navy and Very-Short Range Air-Defence Systems (VSHORADS) for the Army.
Defence Acquisition Council gives nod to purchase indigenous defence systems
Acceptance of Necessity given for three capital acquisition proposals amounting to ₹4,276 crore; these include helicopter-launched Nag missiles and BrahMos cruise missile launchers for ships
The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday accorded Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for three capital acquisition proposals amounting to ₹4,276 crore. These include Helicopter launched Nag (HELINA) Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM), Very Short Range Air Defence Systems (VSHORAD) and BrahMos cruise missile launcher and Fire Control System (FCS) for naval ships. All three are indigenous design and development projects.
“The DAC accorded AoN for procurement of HELINA ATGMs, launchers and associated support equipment which will be integrated to the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH). This missile is an essential part of weaponisation of ALH for countering enemy threat,” the Defence Ministry said in a statement.
The HELINA and Dhruvastra being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) are third generation, Lock on Before Launch fire and forget ATGMs meant for the indigenous ALH and the Light Combat Helicopter. Helina is the Army variant and Dhruvastra is the Air Force variant.
The DAC also accorded AoN for procurement of VSHORAD (IR Homing) missile system under design and development by the DRDO. “In view of the recent developments along the Northern borders there is a need to focus on effective air defence weapon systems which are man portable and can be deployed quickly in rugged terrain and maritime domain,” the Ministry said adding procurement of VSHORAD, as a robust and quickly deployable system, will strengthen the capabilities.
The Army has a major requirement for VSHORAD and several attempts to import the systems have not materialised. A major deal with Russia, which was shortlisted in a bidding, has been stuck for several years and is on the verge of cancellation.
Further, the DAC also granted approval for procurement of BrahMos launcher and FCS for the Shivalik class of ships and Next Generation Missile Vessels for the Navy. With their induction, these ships would have enhanced capability of carrying out maritime strike operations, interdicting and destroying enemy’s warships and merchant vessels, the statement added.
