<p>On the occasion of India's 76th Independence Day, a home-grown howitzer gun was used for the first time as part of the 21-gun salute at Red Fort. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, said he is "proud" of the indigeneously developed howitzer gun.&nbsp;</p> <p>The 'Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System' (ATAGS) prototype has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) under the Union Government's 'Make in India' initiative.&nbsp;</p> <p>The entirely made-in-India gun gave the 21-Gun salute along with the 25 Pounder British guns which have been traditionally fired till now. The ATAGS prototype has been developed by a team of scientists at DRDO's Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE).</p> <p>The DRDO began the ATAGS project in 2013 to replace older guns in service in the Indian Army with a modern 155-millimetre artillery gun.</p>
