State-run OFB Which has started manufacturing the gun based on the Bofors design of 155mm 45-calibre after its successfully cleared Indian army trails will get upgraded 52mm calibre barrel in its future upgrades.
Well-informed sources have told idrw.org that new 52mm calibre barrel which is under development by DRDO for Advance Towed Artillery Guns System (ATAGS) will share its 52mm calibre barrel with OFB developed artillery guns based on Bofors.
ATAGS is new light-weight long-range automated gun being developed by DRDO with private participation and will be India’s first Indigenously developed 155MM/52 calibre artillery gun.Concept design of ATAGS is ready and DRDO will start putting together first Prototype gun by next year , it will be technologically superior to Bofors even if they share same 52mm calibre barrel, since ATAGS is a new design which enjoys input of newer technology and ARDE developers of the new gun believe that it will take over guns in this category in the future.
ATAGS which weigh 12 tonnes, is two tonnes lighter than other guns of its category and one tonne lighter than Original Bofors gun. ATAGS will also get Superior Computer aided targeting system and Fully auto-loading ammunition function which will allow it to take out targets at over 60 kilometres with successive rounds in small duration.
DRDO recently had interactions with Tata Power, L&T, Bharat Forge, Mahindra Defence System, BHEL and BEL on possible collaboration in Components manufacturing of ATAGS when it is ready for production in 2019-20 period.
Indian Army’s artillery modernization will gain some mileage as India’s first indigenously built Dhanush artillery gun has cleared its field trials and is ready for manufacturing , While 45-calibre Dhanush has increased the gun’s range from 27 to 38 kilometres, using enhanced range ammunition, ATAGS Project of DRDO will be keenly watched by Indian Army which due to Bofors Scandal and later with Kickback allegation was not able to procure modern artillery gun for last two decades .

 

[Skull and Bones]

Now we're talking, after decade of inactivity, artillery modernization is going somewhere.

 

[MULUBJA]

Title is misleading. It should be 52 caliber and not 52 mm Caliber.

 

[Indian Patriot]

Let's wait for induction and then see how it fares. Too early to comment now. 30 years and not a single new arty gun inducted.

 

[MULUBJA]

Now we have TATA Gun and 2 Baba kalyani guns also available.

Now we have TATA gun and 2 Guns of BABA Kalyani ready. L & T and Mahindra are also in race.

Why ? The trials were on production models. The IA already know how they perform.

Are you aware of the procedure of defence acquisitions in India?

[Indian Patriot]

Are you ?

Listen here you school going punk. Talk to me only when you are a working professional who has a thinking brain.
India has been doing trials on arty guns for 3 decades without buying a single gun. India has never taken defence acquisition seriously barring during the Kargil war.

Recently the 126 aircraft MMRCA deal was scrapped but that time you were still drinking complan and doing your school homework. So obviously you won't know.

Hold your horses old pal. Enough of your stupid comments abusing every1 here. @waz just take care of this guy sir. Whenever some1 answers him something he cant swallow, he starts to abuse them. I have been watching him abusing TTAs g elite members alike.

Note: He is the same guy who offered me to teach how to hit targets at 300+ metre range in full auto mode, called me a chineese, offered to bring me Sachin's autograph if I ask politely.

Nope I like to expose morons when I find them. You look like a good subject.

I am not interested in hearing your mourning and whimpering. Go cry somewhere else.

WTF!
ATAGS is supposed to be lightweight despite all the bells and whistles............including an autoloader. Dhanush L45 is 14 tons and presumably using the same barrel chemistry as FH-77B - 80's era. How will they get the gun to come down to 12 tons despite of it having an L52 barrel?
