Sigma Advanced Systems and Munitions India to Develop Artillery Technology; Shares Fall 2.52% 

Mumbai, October 14: Sigma Advanced Systems Limited has signed an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Munitions India Limited to develop and manufacture indigenous 155 mm artillery course-correction fuzes, in a collaboration aimed at strengthening domestic defence technology capabilities. 

The partnership covers the integration, indigenous manufacturing and supply of course-correction fuzes, along with associated components, subsystems and technologies. The announcement was made in a press release dated October 14, 2026. 

The collaboration combines Sigma Advanced Systems’ engineering and programme execution capabilities with Munitions India’s ammunition manufacturing infrastructure. The companies intend to work on technology transfer, qualification, local manufacturing and integration of advanced course-correction solutions for artillery ammunition. 

Course-correction technology allows an artillery projectile to adjust its trajectory during flight. The objective is to improve accuracy and operational effectiveness while reducing reliance on imported defence technologies. 

According to the company’s announcement, the programme will build on the Course Correction Guidance Kit, a technology platform used by international customers. The collaboration is also intended to support the development of domestic manufacturing and engineering capabilities for advanced defence systems.

Partnership Targets Indigenous Defence Manufacturing
