The Amogha-1 is a guided anti-tank missile with a range up to 2.8 km (1.7 mi). It is under development by Bharat Dynamics at Hyderabad. It is the first missile designed and tested by Bharat Dynamics. It is being built in Israel for the Indian military.
The missile will be produced in two versions. The land version has already been tested. The infrared version of the missile uses a "thermal intelligent vision" to attack its target.
Testing
The missile has a range of 2.5 to 2.8 km (1.6 to 1.7 mi). It was reported that two missiles were tested in September 2015 at the Babina Army Range in Madhya Pradesh. Both missiles hit their targets in the test. These tests found no significant difference between this missile and other anti-tank missiles. The performance of the missile is measured by both the gunner and commander of the Advanced Target Acquisition systems.
Future Targets
The Amogha will be configured to be used on the Advanced Light Helicopter and the HAL Light Combat Helicopter. Soon it will have land version, an air-launched version and a portable version.
