Now matured and In service with law enforcement and security forces, First conceived after Mumbai terrorist attack ..
An armoured 360-degrees revolving Anti-Terrorist Vehicle’ (ATV) has been deployed in the Parliament complex for securing it against terrorist attack- like incidents.Brought out on special anti-ballistic configuration approved by DRDO, the two commandos-seater vehicle has been put on ‘trial’ at the seat of power in central Delhi to test its efficacy in combating a terrorist or suicide attack. The 4.5-tonne military camouflage vehicle, moving on tank-like tyres has a special armour plating which can resist close firing from any modern assault rifle and grenades and provides ample opportunity to armed commandos to take precise aim from the firing ports without getting hit.It also has enough space for commandos to stock their weapons and ammunition, the officials said. The vehicle can attain a maximum speed limit of 25 km per hour and is the first of its kind in the small variants of bullet-proof vehicles that are required to operate in large built up areas like Parliament, they said.
