The indigenously developed 155mm/52 calibre ATAGS howitzer, a state-of-the-art system, was developed by the DRDO in collaboration with Bharat Forge and the TATA Group
The DRDO has chosen Larsen & Toubro as a "design cum production partner"
That is significantly higher indigenisation than the 50 per cent required for "Make in India" projects
The ATAGS' all-electric drive operates all its gun controls, ammunition handling, opening and closing the breech, and ramming the round into the chamber. This makes firing faster and easier
