Answer: He did so in order to modernise his army with their help.

Explanation:

Tipu Sultan, sometimes referred to as the Tiger of Mysore, was the king of the Kingdom of Mysore in South India from 1 December 1751 to 4 May 1799. He was born Sultan Fateh Ali Sahab Tipu.

He helped develop rocket artillery.

During his reign, he instituted a variety of administrative improvements, such as a new coinage system, calendar, and land revenue system, which sparked the expansion of the Mysore silk industry.

He increased the number of Mysorean rockets with iron cases and ordered Fathul Mujahidin, a military manual.

During the Anglo-Mysore Wars, he used the rockets to block British advances and those of their allies, especially at the Battle of Pollilur and the Siege of Srirangapatna, although the British eventually took control of the fort.
