India puts two-ton tank-killer robot into action in exercise
Exemplifying cutting-edge technology, India’s Gridbots Technologies Private Limited is set to unveil its groundbreaking invention, the TITAN Autonomous Tank Killer.
Weighing a staggering 2000 kilograms, this titan of technology is engineered to autonomously detect and annihilate enemy tanks, a potent augmentation to the nation’s defensive arsenal.
The TITAN by Gridbots is primed to premiere at a Tri-Service exercise. This event brings together India’s Army, Navy, and Air Force, underlining the remarkable advances made by Gridbots Technologies in defense technology. The location of the event remains undisclosed.
A standout attribute of the TITAN Autonomous Tank Killer is its weaponry. Armed with the ‘Amogha-III’ missile, a product of Bharat Dynamics Limited [BDL], TITAN is notably formidable.
The Amogha-III, a state-of-the-art man-portable missile, is a ‘fire-and-forget’ device, requiring minimal user intervention, thus, making it highly effective.
Equipped with an anti-armor tandem warhead, the missile exhibits a knack for penetrating the most robust armor, effortlessly breezing through Explosive Reactive Armor [ERA].
However, the TITAN isn’t just about pure offensive firepower. This autonomous tank annihilator flaunts an impressive spec sheet, including a top speed of 20 kilometers per hour for battlefield mobility. Furthermore, with a 20-kilometer mesh radio range, it is capable of sustaining fluid communication with command structures and other units.
What distinguishes TITAN is its adaptability. A generous 1.5-ton payload capacity means the TITAN can be equipped to fulfill diverse roles, from inspections to surveillance and reconnaissance.
This India-made machine is equipped with an automated target-tracking system which, hand in hand with a thermal sight, guarantees meticulous identification and engagement of enemy targets.
Daksh and AUGV
India has developed several combat and intelligence robots to enhance its defense capabilities. One notable example is the Daksh robot, developed by the Defense Research and Development Organization [DRDO].
Daksh is a remotely operated robot designed for bomb disposal and hazardous material handling. It can be controlled from a safe distance and is equipped with a variety of sensors and tools to detect and neutralize explosives.
Another significant development is the Autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicle [AUGV] developed by the Indian Army. This robot is designed for surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It can navigate various terrains and collect real-time intelligence through its advanced sensors and cameras.
Robots for combat missions
Additionally, India has also developed the Bharat series of robots, which includes the Bharat-1 and Bharat-2. These robots are designed for combat scenarios and can be used for tasks such as surveillance, target acquisition, and even engaging enemies. They are equipped with advanced weaponry systems and can operate in challenging environments.
Furthermore, the Indian Navy has developed an Unmanned Surface Vessel [USV] called the ‘Barracuda.’ This autonomous robot is primarily used for maritime surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It can navigate through water bodies, collect data, and transmit real-time information to the command center.
