On 7 February 2020, BDL unveiled third generation man portable Amogha-III ATGM at Defexpo 2020 in Lucknow. The missile has conventional cylindrical body, eight mid-body foldable fins and four larger aft fins for flight stabilization. It is powered by [[dual-thrust rocket motor]] with [[thrust vector control]] and burns smokeless propellant. The terminal seeker has dual mode [[imaging infrared]] (IIR) and [[Electro-optical sensor|electro-optical]] (EO) assembly. Amogha-III can hit the target at top attack and direct attack mode. Target must be locked before launch. The missile uses an anti-armour tandem warhead that can penetrate 650 mm beyond [[Explosive reactive armour|Explosive Reactive Armour]] (ERA). Operational range is between 200–2,500 m with 18 kg weight although BDL is planning to reduce it to 15-16 kg once the missile hits mass production. The complete system has missile, tripod and a command launch unit (CLU) with remote operation capability.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Udoshi |first=Rahul |date=6 February 2020 |title=BDL unveils new Amogha-III ATGM |url=https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/bdl-unveils-new-amogha-iii-atgm |access-date=2022-09-25 |website=Janes |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=BDL launches Amogha - III |url=https://bdl-india.in/sites/default/files/2020-03/AMOGHA%20-III%20Launch_0.pdf |access-date=25 September 2022 |publisher=Bharat Dynamics Limited |date=7 February 2022}}</ref> | |||
