Bharat Forge Defence Arm Signs Global Partnership for Next-Gen Artillery Systems

Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL), the defence arm of Bharat Forge, has signed a strategic partnership with US-based military vehicle manufacturer AM General at the Eurosatory defence exhibition in Paris. The collaboration aims to offer advanced mounted artillery gun systems to armed forces worldwide, targeting the growing demand for mobile, lightweight and weather-resistant solutions.

Under the partnership, KSSL and AM General will jointly promote next-generation 155mm mounted artillery platforms designed for rapid deployment and enhanced battlefield performance. AM General has submitted a proposal to the US Army's Mobile Tactical Cannon programme, which could lead to deliveries beginning in 2027 and provide a significant international opportunity for KSSL.
