The USP of DRDO’s proposed light tank for the Indian Army is that it will be fitted with High Altitude Operable Power pack (Engine + Transmission) of 1000hp and will be capable of firing multiple ammunition. This tank may be called as “highest altitude operable tank in the globe”. The design work has commenced and we will bring out the timelines.

DRDO’s Light Tank Will Be Power Pack As “The Highest Altitude Operable Tank In The Globe”: G. Satheesh Reddy, Chairman DRDO

DRDO is tasked to empower India for building capability in defence –that not only limited to armed forces but it is now about technology for today and future which is foundational to growing defence economy. Last year, in the wake of precarious situation at LAC, despite the Covid 19, DRDO had...

I may be wrong but I don't think K-9 Vajra Hull will be used for Light tank.

Another Tank X in the Making then.

Another Tank X in the Making then.

This time it will happen, DRDO + DPSU + private industry has all the components required ready, as compared to earlier attempts. desi APS also seems to be in the making.

Hopefully IA jernails freeze their requirements first time around, instead of iterative design changes.

Is their is need of any light tank.
Has Indian Army not seen what happened in armenia Azerbaijan war, 2006 Lebanon war and Syrian Army after having 4500 tanks lost 50%of country to isis at one time

The light tanks must be for the mountain division, especially around Tibetan border.

You must also consider Chinese anti armour capabilities and attack helicopter and ucav fleet

 

[Lonewolf]

In present turbulent time , this is one hell of a news , first flight could be in 2025 , if accelerated delivery of first aircraft in 2030 31 much possible

Successful tests of weapon systems by DRDO



Twenty eight (28) successful tests have been carried out by DRDO in the last one year. The major weapons and other systems that have been handed over to the armed forces by DRDO are: Astra Beyond Visual Range Missile System, 10 m Short Span Bridging System, Indian Maritime Situational Awareness System (IMSAS), Heavy Weight Torpedo (HWT) Varunastra, Border Surveillance System (BOSS) and Arjun Mk-1A. The development cum Production Partner (DcPP) policy for DRDO developed systems ensures involvement of industries from the beginning of development cycle, thus enabling industries and facilitating hand-holding throughout the development phase.


DRDO is a research and development organisation. All systems designed and developed by DRDO are manufactured by the Indian industries which includes both public and private sectors entities. Some of the Systems that are developed by such collaboration during last one year are as follows: Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS), Extended Range Pinaka System & Guided Pinaka Rocket System, 10 m Short Span Bridging System, Indian Maritime Situational Awareness System (IMSAS), Heavy Weight Torpedo (HWT) Varunastra, Border Surveillance System (BOSS) and Arjun Mk-1A etc.


DRDO has many foreign collaborations. DRDO works in futuristic R&D and technology development in collaboration with some Foreign Countries. DRDO co-chairs the following G-to-G Forums:-





· India-USA Joint Technology Group


· Indo-Israel Management Council


· India-Russia R&D Subgroup


· India-Singapore defence technology steering committee


· India-UK steering committee


· India-Korea steering committee





This information was tabled in a written reply by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Shripad Naik to a question asked by Shrimati Rita Bahuguna Joshi in Lok Sabha today.

But firstly we need something up there for them to pitch all of what you have said against the Light Tank. Currently we have nothing modern up there in the mountains.
