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.”
