The MPATGM weapon system has been indigenously designed and developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It has been field-evaluated in different flight configurations several times intending to prove the technology with high superiority.

Penetration trials of the Tandem Warhead System of MPATGM have been completed and it is found capable of defeating modern armour-protected Main Battle Tank, an official added.
The official further said that the ATGM system is well-equipped with day, night and top attack capability. Dual mode seeker functionality is a great value addition to the missile capability for tank warfare. With this, technology development and successful demonstration have been concluded and the system is now ready for the Final User Evaluation Trials leading towards its induction into the Indian Army.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has complimented the Defence Research Development Organisation and the Army for the successful trials of the system, terming it as an important step towards achieving self-reliance in advanced technology-based defence system development.
