Manufacturing of artillery guns is a highly complex science which involves cross-disciplinary architecture, robust design and engineering capability, and intensive knowledge of complex materials, with a solid foundation in metallurgy that forms the backbone of this capability.
The core of any artillery gun system comprises the Ordnance (i.e. Barrel, the Breech Assembly and Muzzle Brake) that requires high-quality steel as a raw material combined with sophisticated manufacturing processes to attain desired attributes of highest levels of strength and durability. The world over, there are a few countries, mostly European with a strong background in metals and metal forming, that possess the capability of artillery systems manufacturing.
In recent times, one name which has made a mark for itself in this complex segment is Pune-based Kalyani Group. Using its strong platform of metallurgical Kalyani Group: Taking India towards Self-reliance and Self-sufficiency in Artillery ATAGS knowledge, design and engineering capability and manufacturing prowess, the group has, over the last few years, invested heavily to create a world-class manufacturing eco-system for artillery guns. Backed by several decades of experience in component manufacturing and metallurgy, the group has realised a major breakthrough in the artillery segment within a short frame of time. An end-to-end solution provider, its indigenously designed, developed and manufactured product profile includes a series of 155/52/45/39 and 105/37 guns.
