Active Protection System of course... or ERA like 4S24.

Possible, but damian, the description seems little awkward, please comment, it might be simply bad reporting

he said the technology to destroy anti-tank missiles had been bought from Russia and the same, to be introduced soon, would be upgraded to suit the needs of the Indian tanks.

IMHO most possibly Active Protection System, Arena I think, because I did not heard of any newer Russian made Hard Kill APS.

The only other possibility is ERA, light vehicles can be equipped with 4S24 ERA, this one have from what I heard from Russians, also anti tandem warheads version (from their description it seems that cassettes are more bulky).

But I think it is the first option. Arena is rather effective against most threats and was tested both on MBT's and lighter vehicles, like BMP-3.

The Hindu : Today's Paper / NATIONAL : Indian Army may get tanks with radar tracking system

[h=1]Indian Army may get tanks with radar tracking system[/h]
The Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) intends to acquire technology to manufacture tanks equipped with automatic radar tracking system that can detect and destroy enemy missiles aimed at them, Shashi Dhar Dimri, Director-General of Ordnance Factories and Chairman of the OFB said on Wednesday.

Speaking at the Golden Jubilee of the Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) at Avadi here, Mr. Dimri said technological superiority was increasingly going to be the decisive factor in future battles.

"The prediction is that future tanks would weigh less than 30 tonnes, become more fuel efficient, easily transportable and provide all-round protection against mines, rocket-propelled grenades and quick firing canon shells"¦this technology has to be acquired. We have to upgrade our technological capability."

Describing the HVF as a technology powerhouse and backbone of the OFB, he said the tank was the single most technologically sophisticated weapon platform combining firepower, mobility and protection. The credit for making the country self-reliant in armoured vehicle primarily went to the HVF. The factory had improved the capability of Ajeya (T-72) tanks by incorporating new features. It was taking care of the lifecycle requirements of the Tanks by supplying spares.

"The Government has sanctioned new projects to augment the production capacity of the tanks and spares for armoured vehicles such as T-72 and T-90 tanks. This is being done to ensure that the HVF becomes the leader in defence production."

Mr. Dimri said two more Ordnance Factories would come up at Korba and Nalanda. A lot of technology was being bought from Russia and the latest was the move to procure 'Smerch' rocket which has a range of about 90-km and rated as one of the best in the world.

HVF General Manager M.S.N. Rao said the turnover of the factory was likely to cross Rs. 2,800 crore in 2011-12 and it was poised to face the challenges of future.
Speaking on the occasion, M.C. Bansal, Additional Director General (Armoured Vehicles) said HVF was embarking on a massive expansion programme for enhancing the production capacity of T-90 Tanks, T-72 variants and for production of spares with an investment of Rs. 1562 crore.
Mr. Dimri released the golden jubilee souvenir brought out to mark the celebrations.

HVF set to step up T-90 tanks | Deccan Chronicle

In a bid to meet the ever increasing demand of armoured vehicles and allied systems from the Army, Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) is embarking on a massive expansion programme for enhancing the production capacity of T-90 Tanks, T-72 variants and for production of spares with an investment of Rs 1,562 crore.

Further, the capacity of MBT Arjun will also be enhanced to 50 numbers per annum from the existing 30 numbers per year, said M.C. Bansal, additional director general armed vehicles, at the golden jubilee celebrations of HVF in Avadi on Wednesday.

"As on date, there is enough workload and I am confident that there will be orders continuously placed at the factory for the next eight to 10 years," he added. He further noted that the ministry of defence and ordnance factory board (OFB) have high hopes on HVF, as it is the flagship unit of OFB.

Starting with the production of battle tank Vijayanta, HVF now manufactures prestigious combat lethal battle tanks fleet of armoured combat vehicles for the Army namely 72 (Ajeya), T-90s (Bhishma), MBT Arjun Tanks and their variants using latest state of art technology.

Till date, HVF has produced 2,105 Vijayantha tanks, 1,300 T-72 tanks, 113 armoured recovery vehicles, 48 self propelled 130mm guns, 823 T-72 (OH) tank, 451 T-90 tank and 110 MBT Arjun.

Radar eh? Most probably Arena APS the only other possibility would be Drozd APS series that are older, less capable than Arena.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Arena for sure..

I am sure this suit is going for T-90S and Possibly Arjun MK-1 too..

Wonder what happen with Iron fist..

Or Arjun is getting Iron fist..

 

[p2prada]

Arena has an old radar, DRDO may ask for a more up to date AESA on their version.

Indeed MPVs are life savers..
Let me show you few more models made for Indian forces..

This is Mahindra MPV capable of taking 21kg IED, Recently its operational

This is a very interesting vehicle, Its a MPV itself but it a recovery vehicle for crippled MPVs, It also have a crane at side and radio jaming aka ECM suit above the roof..

Its means more or less means tactical chariot..

No not at all, The vehicle is deign to give protection from underneath blasts of 11kgs IED, Bulletproof against 7.62nato rounds & Hand held and UBGL & MGL grenade progectiles, Bullet proof glasses, the glass can endure 7.62mm nato, But not anything against shape charge weaponry,

But if one feels to protect for RPG and shape charge weaponry he can use SLAT Armour or Anti-RPG net..
