The Indian Institute of Technology Madras and Munitions India will jointly develop 155mm smart ammunition, an official release said.The aim is to develop India's first indigenously designed 155 smart ammunition, which is said to be 50 per cent more accurate than existing ammunition. It would also help improve its range along with increased lethality at the point of impact, it announced.The newly developed projectiles would have a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of 10 metres. Currently, India's ammunition has a CEP of 500 metres, the release added.Key characteristics of the smart ammunition:It will also have the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)-guided GPS backup (NAVIC is the primary guidance system that makes the guided munitions completely independent of any foreign agency's involvement), it said.

India to Develop Indigenous 'Smart' Ammunition
IIT-Madras and Munitions India joining hands to develop and produce smart ammunition is line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'.
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras and Munitions India will jointly develop 155mm smart ammunition, an official release said.
The aim is to develop India's first indigenously designed 155 smart ammunition, which is said to be 50 per cent more accurate than existing ammunition. It would also help improve its range along with increased lethality at the point of impact, it announced.
The newly developed projectiles would have a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of 10 metres. Currently, India's ammunition has a CEP of 500 metres, the release added.
Key characteristics of the smart ammunition:
It can be launched from 39 and 45 calibre 155 mm artillery guns without any changes to the gun system.
The fin-stabilized, canard-guided round has a maximum range of 38 km and a minimum range of 8 km.
It is equipped with a 3-mode fuse - point detonation; high burst; delayed detonation.
It will also have the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)-guided GPS backup (NAVIC is the primary guidance system that makes the guided munitions completely independent of any foreign agency's involvement), it said.
