Answer:
DRDO
Notes: The Indian Army is emphasizing long-range and augmented firepower with the induction of Dhanush artillery guns, expansion of the Pinaka Multi-Rocket Launch Systems (MRLS) range, and the induction of the Pralay surface-to-surface quasi-ballistic missile.
The Army has ordered 114 Dhanush guns, with one regiment already operational, and expects to receive all guns by 2026. Dhanush is a 155 mm, 45-caliber towed artillery gun with a range of 36 km, upgradable to 38 km. The Pinaka MRLS, developed by DRDO, is being expanded, with efforts to increase its range to 120 km and 300 km.
