Defence research and development organisation fast-tracks infantry combat vehicle
The BMP urban survival kit (Busk), a state-of-the-art infantry combat vehicle, has been designed by the Vehicle research and development establishment (VRDE) in a record time of six months. It was handed over to the Mechanised Infantry Regimental Centre (Mirc) for user trials in Ahmednagar on Wednesday.

A press statement issued by the Defence research and development organisation (DRDO) stated that the Busk was ideally suited to fighting terrorist attacks.

It was flagged off at VRDE by additional director general of mechanised forces, Major General RS Chand. Also present on the occasion were the Mirc commandant, Brigadier Joydeep Bhati; director of DRDO’s combat vehicle and engineering, R Shankar; VRDE director CP Ramanarayanan; and Colonel Gajanan Radkar, BMP project director.

According to the press statement, the Busk can be assembled and disassembled in a short span of time and is well protected against weapons utilised by terrorists. The unique features of Busk are its light weight advanced armour and high-strength fibre nets.

Chand said, “The product will be evaluated for its efficacy and required improvements will be made based on the feedback of user trials.”

BMP Urban Survival Kit (BUSK)
BMP Upgrade The BMP Urban Survival Kit (BUSK), for the protection of battle tanks and AFV/ICV has been developed by Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (VRDE) Ahmednagar,
Basically a same role as slate armor but with light weight But looking at the pics i found that it is impossible to control the weight penalty unless they adopted something innovative like KTO Rosomak-M1M with QinetiQ RPGNet details i am posting after this post.

Wouldn’t the below Israeli Elbit M-RCV ROBUST help the Indian Army in Ladakh, CT Ops, border patrol and an array of other activities. IA, BSF, ITBP should seriously consider acquiring some of them once they become operational.

We are developing/have developed indigenous equivalent UGV.
Using these system in CT ops will result in problems with local popule.
One must not forget people living in terrorist infested area are Indians.
