KSSL said the artillery systems are designed to provide armed forces with a highly mobile and rapidly deployable firepower solution while reducing logistics requirements compared with heavier tracked and wheeled platforms.

The MArG series supports NATO-standard 155mm ammunition, including precision-guided munitions, and is intended for missions such as counter-battery operations, interdiction and fire support.

The company showcased the MArG 39 variant at the exhibition. The system features a 155mm/39-calibre gun mounted on a 4'4 high-mobility vehicle and is designed for rapid shoot-and-scoot operations. According to KSSL, the platform can be brought into action in about 1.5 minutes during the day and carries up to 18 rounds of onboard ammunition.

Bharat Forge said the new artillery platform is aimed at addressing the requirements of armed forces seeking mobile firepower solutions capable of operating across diverse terrains, including mountainous, desert and urban environments.

The unveiling comes amid growing focus on indigenous defence manufacturing and increasing export opportunities for Indian-made military equipment.
