Adrushy MK-II
Another good example of the sensored smart munition is antitank Adrushy MK-II. Technology breakthrough has been achieved by developing active sensor based on the smart fuze which is brain of the Adrushy munition MK-II for the first time in India. This has added feather in the capof India Army. The productionisation of these munitions will make us self-reliant and will save foreign currency to the extent of more than 100 crore. This munition discriminates the tank-trawl/plough, track and wheeled vehicles, also has survival capability against blast of CLMC (V) and 100 per cent performance
against tanks. The state-of-the-art fuze has been developed consisting of active sensor and microcontroller-based signal processor. The active sensor consists of a set of transmitter and receiver coils, initially in balanced condition. When
tank passes over it, the balance gets disturbed and in turn generates voltage across the receiver coil. This signal
forms the signature of the target. The signature collection was done through the field trials. The software has been
developed for analysing the signature and for taking appropriate decision for firing the munition. This makes the fuze smart.
Successful development of this smart influence Adrushy munition MK-II by ARDE has made India proud and at par with the world market. Technologies established during the development of the store are: (a) active sensor based on induction balance principle, and (b) smart fuze microcontroller-based software to determine the exact instant of firing under tank, to provide discrimination between track and wheeled vehicles, and survival against CLMC(V). Users trial work done successfully and inducted into Services. Order quantity of 20,000 has been placedby the Army.

ANTITANK SCATTERABLE MUNITIONS
Remote delivery systems deploy large number of scatterable munitions from the air, which automatically activate as
these hit the ground. Even these smart munitions are indispensable weapons of war. Under this categoryof antitank remotely delivered sub-munitionsfor 122 mm rocket and Pinaka rocket have been developed and areunder evaluation phase. This sub-munition consists of miniature passive magnetic sensor for detection of the vehicle which provides full-width attack capabilities. Electronic timer generates the set SD period. As per Geneva protocol, a self-deactivation facility has also been provided as a backup. Vertical landing is ensured with the help of pyrocutter device and 6 legs arrangement. Handling and operational safety has been provided through safety arming device.
