Artillery plays a pivotal role in ground warfare, providing crucial support through indirect fire and accurate targeting. To enhance the capabilities of the Indian Army, DRDO developed a 155 mm/52 calibre Towed Artillery Gun, now successfully put into service.

The MGS integrates advanced features like a blast-resistant cabin, electro-mechanical stabilizers, automatic ammunition handling, silent electric power system, electronic controller, RLG navigation and fire control system.
After design and development, mobility trials were conducted at VRDE on desert and cross-country tracks. Firing trials at the Pokhran Field firing ranges included range firing, consistency tests, arc of fire and direct fire covering various firing angles and zones.
