DRDO & Indian Navy Successfully Test Indigenous Multi-Influence Ground Mine
In a significant stride toward strengthening India’s maritime defence capabilities, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), in collaboration with the Indian Navy, successfully conducted combat firing (with reduced explosives) of the indigenous Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM). This underwater mine, designed for modern naval warfare, is a cutting-edge addition to India’s defence arsenal and marks a major milestone in the country’s self-reliance initiative in the defence sector.
The Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM) recently underwent successful combat firing trials with reduced explosives, showcasing its readiness for induction into the Indian Navy. Developed indigenously by DRDO labs in partnership with production agencies, this test underscores India’s growing capabilities in underwater warfare and strategic deterrence.
