Indian UGCV & UGV

[agentperry]

isnt it too big. i cant figure out its possible use. it cant replace infantry and you cant trust unmanned vehicle to carry men on front

Makes a lot of sense to use a old platform for the first Unmmaned vehicle.


Could anyone explain what will be its role?
How could a Unmanned vechicle could be used in War?

the possibilities are endless. it can be used for following:

1. mine tracking and disposal.

2. communication post

3. communication interception/intelligence post

4. take the first fire in any combat so that soldiers r protected.

5. ground surveillence.

it is big because it is being developed first time. so thay wanted to use a already proven platform. secondly it is not meant to replace infantry. read above post for types of uses.

The only viable use i can think of for it is as a demining vehicle and for unmanned recce/cleaning activities in a NBC contaminated environment. It would absolutely suck as a general recce vehicle it would be detected by the enemy in a jiffy, it should not be used in communications as the very nature of an unmanned vehicle is to go deep into enemy territory where it can be captured relatively easily.

Does it have any weapons ? or it's semi finished

Unarmed prototype!

Make it smaller..

it is only proof of concept......................................

 

[sayareakd]

this is only proof of concept, plus from what we heard and understand, I must say that IA should pay funds out of their pocket for this, just imagine what will unmanned tank will do.

It has lots of usages.........

they r only validating the concept and this is jus a technology temonstrator. once the technology is validated than size and shape of vehicle will change depending on requirement/operation.

"With a master control station (MCS), it can be remotely controlled over a range of 500 m in line of sight or within buildings."

This should also be greatly increased.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

This should also be greatly increased.

The present model is prototype, new chassis with IC engines will enhance its range more..

The present model is prototype, new chassis with IC engines will enhance its range more..

to increase range we can also look at relay bots. which increase range. Its also done for UAVs

are these different versions of Daksh or entirely different Robots..?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

are these different versions of Daksh or entirely different Robots..?

Same robot, the last one was during packing..

 

[Rahul92]

We have good Funds keep it going

 

[shubhamsaikia]

It actually looks like a good development.

Talon MAARS robot

There is not many competition, But talon have eyes in Indian sector so when there is a RFI for UGCV..

We may see this one against DRDO one..

India may soon come out with its series of robotic soldiers to man difficult war zones and save loss of lives along borders.

The move will hoist India into the next level of unmanned fighting league under a project being developed by the DRDO. The robot soliders would be equipped with a keen intelligence to detect a threat from a friend and respond to it in required manner with precision and accuracy. India's Iron Men can then be deployed along the Line of Control (LoC) to guard Indian borders and adjoining territories.

"It is a new programme and a number of labs are already working in a big way on robotics," said DRDO chief Avinash Chander. The newly-appointed DRDO chief listed the project for development of robotic soldiers as one of his "priority thrust areas" saying that "unmanned warfare in land and air is the future of warfare. Initially, the robotic soldier may be assisting the man."

He said in the initial phase of the project, the robotic soldier would be required to be told by the human soldier to identify an enemy or a combatant but "slowly in due course of time, the iron soldier would be at the front."

It may be recalled that United Nations expert Christof Heyns had recently pushed for a moratorium on testing and use of automated armed robots that can kill targets without needing human command.

Heyns had told the Human Rights Council in Geneva that a decision to allow machines to be deployed to kill human beings worldwide, whatever weapons they use, deserved a collective pause. He even urged the council to set up a high-level panel to report on advances in the development of "lethal autonomous robotics."
