Its tele-operated from a distance of 5 km and it tracked a tank further at a distance of 12 km. The UGVs could perform in tele-operated, autonomous and manned modes.All vehicles are based on the battle proven BMP II class of tracked armoured vehicles. In addition to being ATVs, they have an inherent amphibious capability, thus making a UGV a highly potent and versatile unmanned platform, UGV Muntra-b can be also design for combat and logistic hence can be counted under UGCV ..

this is made on BMP chasis, i always thought UGCV as small robots with machine guns and grenade launchers, our daksha is more likely to be a succesful platform than this BMP,
now a days even college students are coming up with smaller UGVs, so what is wrong with our scientists?

Faster, lighter, DRDO’s Daksh now has CBRN detection mechanism

The new Daksh
Armed Forces and other security agencies in the country will now have enhanced hazard detection capabilities as the Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO’s) indigenous robot Daksh has not just become lighter, faster and rugged, but has also been equipped with Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) hazard detection mechanisms.
Daksh, which has been developed by DRDO’s Pune-based lab Research and Development Establishment, Engineers (R&DE) located in Vishrantwadi, is primarily designed to detect and recover Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). It was inducted in the Indian Army around 2011.
A senior DRDO scientist said, “When Daksh was inducted into the Army, they already had imported Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). The performance of Daksh has been at par with the imported ones. In some aspects, it is even better. As per our information, as many of 40 IEDs have been neutralised in the insurgency-affected areas in the North-East India with the help of Daksh so far. But from the beginning, we were aware of the limitations of this robot. One of the most important was the speed, another was its weight.”
As per the information given by scientists from the R&DE, the newer version of Daksh is made of aluminium alloy as against the older version, which was made of steel. “The use of new material has not just reduced the weight but has also made it more rugged. Use of custom-made motors has increased the speed by three times as compared to the older version,” said Mridukant Pathak, a scientist with the R&DE.
The new Daksh has been integrated with DRDO’s Unmanned Areal Vehicle (UAV) Netra, and the integrated system is being called CBRN Remotely Operated Platform (ROP). “In case of a radiation hazard, the radiation detection unit fitted on Netra can be flown to the affected area. Netra model being used for this platform has an increased range of four kilometres and double the flying time. The new-age warfare will be way different from the conventional one and we need to have capabilities to detect CBRN attacks. Now that these capabilities are indigenous, we do not have depend on foreign suppliers,” said another DRDO scientist.
“This system will not just be useful for the armed forces, but also the paramilitary forces operating in areas where the nature of conflict is different. There will be demand for this new version of Daksh from the security agencies. The manufacturing of these units will be done by Pune-based Bharat Electronics Ltd and three private companies on the Transfer of Technology (ToT) basis,” said Alok Mukherjee, assistant director of the R&DE.
Jamal Khan, the Commandant of the Institute of IED Management of the Central Reserved Police Force (CRPF) located in Talegaon near Pune said, “The faster, lighter version of the devise will definitely have an added advantage. The enhanced capabilities will certainly be useful in the backdrop of changing nature of warfare in insurgency affected areas, especially with increased threat of dirty bombs, which use radioactive material.”

DRDO’S ROBOT SYSTEM CAN HANDLE MINES, IEDS FROM AFAR
Research and Development Establishment (R&DE), a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) based in Pune, has developed an intelligent and rugged robotic system that can handle mines and IEDs and can be controlled from very far distances while operating in hostile conflict conditions.
Armed forces and security agencies, including paramilitary forces and police, often face situations where suspicious objects need to be identified, handled and transported to some distance. The Electro-Mechanical Systems Group, from the R&DE, which is based in Dighi in Pune, has recently developed a Mobile Autonomous Robot System (MARS), a rugged vehicle which in its basic form looks like golf cart with green armour, but is actually a very useful tool in conflict scenario.
Speaking to Newsline, R&DE scientist MK Roy who is part of the team that has worked on the development on MARS, said, “The word ‘autonomous’ in its name is there for a reason. The machine can operate on its own and has an in-built programme that guides the mechanical system. MARS can see, identify and then pick up the suspicious object which can then be transported to a designated location. With some add-ons, this system can even be used to dig the ground for the object and defuse the Improvised Explosive Device by various methods. MARS actually creates a 3-dimensional image of the object before it handles it.”
Scientists say that with basic mechanical additions, it can take several roles and can adapt for any terrain to operate in.
MARS was displayed at the Multinational Field Exercise that concluded in Pune recently and had Humanitarian Mine Action (MHA) as one of its focus areas and will also be displayed in the Defence Expo to be held in Goa.
Several countries in the South East Asia have the problem of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and in such scenarios MARS can be very useful.
In India, several insurgency and terrorism affected areas and regions affected by Left Wing Extremism, face the problem of IEDs. MARS can be a useful tool for paramilitary forces, central police agencies and local police in these regions.
MARS can be operated from very long distances once a telecommunications system is fitted on it.
Along with Roy, the core team comprises of group leader VV Parlikar and MM Kuber. Roy says that everything that MARS uses, right from the algorithm and programme which runs it to the body and arms, have been developed in-house, thus giving the laboratory the liberty to make changes as per specific requirements of the security agencies.
The R&DE will transfer the technology of MARS to the industry for manufacturing in the future, scientists from the laboratory said.

LOL Kunal Sir, it's first time I noticed you using a smiley.I don`t believe that would be the case otherwise they would not feature them so, for example the US made once you posted feature 50cal AMR, I can say the same about it..
I would rather be happy if they put a little bigger platform with twin AGL and a 7.62/5.56mm Mini Gun

Border protection: Defence lab in Chennai has hi-tech solution
CHENNAI: A defence laboratory in Chennai may have the right recipe for the Centre’s quest for technological solutions to seal the international border with Pakistan in two years.
Scientists at the Combat Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) at Avadi here have developed an unmanned surveillance ground vehicle that can zero-in on 99 moving objects simultaneously from a distance of 10 to 16 km and transmit information.
Officials claimed the vehicle codenamed MUNTRA-S (Tracked Unmanned Group Vehicle for Surveillance) is the first unmanned vehicle from the DRDO stable conforming to military standards for both hardware and software designs. A range of technologies and systems are incorporated including electro-optics, sensor fusion, electro-mechanical actuators and communication systems, which enable it to detect targets from a crawling man to heavy vehicles.
An official source told Express that MUNTRA-S had been developed on the amphibious BMP-II tracked armoured vehicle, which enabled it to be deployed for unmanned surveillance missions in all types of battle environment, day and night.
This comes at a time when the Centre is increasingly looking at advanced technologies like sensors, cameras, drones and radars to patrol and protect the borders. India shares a 3,323 km long land border and 740 km marine border with Pakistan, both equally under threat from infiltrators. Of these, there are 181.85 km where physical barriers cannot be built due to geographic constraints like riverine, low-lying lands, creek and marsh.
Sources said the vehicle is ready, noting that a technology demonstration was conducted on board a defence vessel near the Chennai coast last year. It was witnessed by top officials of the South Sector of Central Industrial Security Force and the Border Security Force.
“The vehicle has also completed last-leg of trials in Mahajan Field Firing Range at Suratgarh in Rajasthan. It can be teleoperated from a distance of 20 km. The effectiveness of payloads depends on the
type of terrain. If the view is clear like in the sea, the sensors can pin down on an unauthorised object from a distance of 16 km, ” sources said.
Configuration:
MUNTRA consists of two vehicles, both on the BMP II class of tracked vehicles.
MUNTRA-B is the base vehicle from which MUNTRA-S is controlled.
MUNTRA-S is the surveillance UGV and can be teleoperated from MUNTRA-B within a radius of 20 km.
