India plans to develop combat UGV based on Arjun tank


India's Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment has proposed the development of a combat UGV based on the Arjun Mk 1A MBT, pictured above test-firing an anti-tank guided missile. (DRDO)


India's state-run Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is planning to develop a new combat unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) based on India's Arjun Mk 1A main battle tank (MBT).


The DRDO's Technology Focus bulletin for April said a plan to “design, develop, and validate” the new tracked combat UGV has been proposed by its Chennai-based Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE), which designed the Arjun MBT in operation with the Indian Army.

I think given army's reluctance to buy arjun and its relatively higher price its better to convert some t55 from storage or even some t72's to UGV..export potential too will be much greater

The original Whap and IPMV.....This means IPMV cannot move in water!!!!

My question is to everyone
Why did our forces inducted whap with degraded capability like no amphibious role
What's there strategy behind it, why not with amphibious capability
Will they order whap with amphibious capability later

I have an idea regarding how to make torpedoes obsolete.Can't we install a series of multiple optical sensors like in rafale/f35 along the sides of our surface ships which can track all movement on the water surface,and detect any incoming torpedo at 30-50km ranges and then use hardkill to take it out with precision?
Moreover if we can use good computers we can simultaneously track the launch position of teh wire guided torpedo and strike the mother submarine possibly.Is this possible?
If it works it could make enemy submarines torpedo capability useless.

factor this in, a torpedo is fired at the projected course of the ship not at the ship itself.

For that GoI would have to rewrite the rule book of confrontation.

We don't have to shoot into pok. We can wait for them to cross the border and then shoot. No 21st century military would send soldiers to do this job.

Couple of weeks back in our forum there was a news that CRPF only going to induct turrent less TATA WhaP which is recently rolled out of factory right..? But, Now army inducting it.

Does CRPF too have inducted it recently in similar nos?

 

[Anandhu Krishna]

After 8 years of testing forcing a turret change and then ordering 3 without turrets jai ho

Chinese military used shitty equipment they produced back in the day. Today they have a proper Industry.

Possibly

 

[mist_consecutive]

Why are we predicting that IPMV doesn't have amphibious capability? Just because it is not (currently) fitted with water pumps for propulsion ?
It is entirely possible that it is an add-on/accessory and is not required to be attached when not required.

These sensors don't work that way because torpedo runs in the water which will absorb the detecting signal and produce a lot of noise.

Clear message from Rajnath Singh that US defence firms will have to make in India to gain market share

Rajnath invites US defence companies to invest in India, support 'Make in India'

“I have insisted that India would focus on co-developmental productions and all the investors should come to India. They are welcome,” Defence Minister Rajnath said.

Just screwdriver Giri ! That is not real make in bharath. Govt just paying lip service to make in india

Hardkill needs precision which is downright impossible for a thing as small as a Topedo.

anyone have any idea about the range of this system and what advantage it offers over LORROS(ULROS appears similar to LORROS).

50 km, developed by tata.
