Border protection: Defence lab in Chennai has hi-tech solution

CHENNAI: A defence laboratory in Chennai may have the right recipe for the Centre’s quest for technological solutions to seal the international border with Pakistan in two years.

Scientists at the Combat Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) at Avadi here have developed an unmanned surveillance ground vehicle that can zero-in on 99 moving objects simultaneously from a distance of 10 to 16 km and transmit information.

Officials claimed the vehicle codenamed MUNTRA-S (Tracked Unmanned Group Vehicle for Surveillance) is the first unmanned vehicle from the DRDO stable conforming to military standards for both hardware and software designs. A range of technologies and systems are incorporated including electro-optics, sensor fusion, electro-mechanical actuators and communication systems, which enable it to detect targets from a crawling man to heavy vehicles.

An official source told Express that MUNTRA-S had been developed on the amphibious BMP-II tracked armoured vehicle, which enabled it to be deployed for unmanned surveillance missions in all types of battle environment, day and night.

This comes at a time when the Centre is increasingly looking at advanced technologies like sensors, cameras, drones and radars to patrol and protect the borders. India shares a 3,323 km long land border and 740 km marine border with Pakistan, both equally under threat from infiltrators. Of these, there are 181.85 km where physical barriers cannot be built due to geographic constraints like riverine, low-lying lands, creek and marsh.

Sources said the vehicle is ready, noting that a technology demonstration was conducted on board a defence vessel near the Chennai coast last year. It was witnessed by top officials of the South Sector of Central Industrial Security Force and the Border Security Force.

“The vehicle has also completed last-leg of trials in Mahajan Field Firing Range at Suratgarh in Rajasthan. It can be teleoperated from a distance of 20 km. The effectiveness of payloads depends on the
type of terrain. If the view is clear like in the sea, the sensors can pin down on an unauthorised object from a distance of 16 km, ” sources said.

Configuration:

MUNTRA consists of two vehicles, both on the BMP II class of tracked vehicles.

MUNTRA-B is the base vehicle from which MUNTRA-S is controlled.

MUNTRA-S is the surveillance UGV and can be teleoperated from MUNTRA-B within a radius of 20 km.

Great !
Very useful in plain areas .
But what I was thinking is will it work in mountains areas like kashmir ??
Will it able to track vehicles behind mountains ?

The Uran-9 is a tracked unmanned combat ground vehicle (UCGV) being developed and produced by Rostec for the international market. According to a release by Rosoboronexport, the system will be designed to deliver combined combat, reconnaissance and counter-terrorism units with remote reconnaissance and fire support. The armament is 2A72 mod ABM M30-M3 from Impul's 2 (Sevastopol') along Russian artillery and other producers , four ATGM like Ataka or other , also Igla or Strela SAM , FCS , cam IR sensors NV laser and other for detection .

Some one seems listening to soldiers ..

All is good but few major things they missed..


1. Wheel is faster but not good under firefight, Tracks are good solution over off-road as well as normal and can take hits..

2. The vehicle need to have a Diesel engine to power its electric Motors and electronics, IC engine will power batt and batt will power every thing..

3. Vehicle needed to be bigger not smaller, A man of height of 5feet 7 inches can hide behind it,

4. Its Weaponry & Optics should be protected by metal shields.

Indian Army orders 200 Daksh robots to defuse explosives

Tirupati: Robotics scientist and IIT-Delhi professor, Dr Subir Kumar Saha, speaking at the 104th Indian Science Congress here on Saturday, said that India has progressed a lot in robotics. He said that the Indian Army has placed an order for the manufacture of 200 robots to defuse explosives.

Dr Saha said that DRDO has developed Daksh, a robot that can defuse bombs. “Orders have been placed with three companies for production of 200 robots. The remotely operated vehicle Daksh, designed and developed by the Research and Development Establi-shment (Engineers) of DRDO, is useful for bomb disposal units of the army, police and paramilitary forces,” he said. He said a treadmill-like walking simulator has also been developed and given to the Secunderabad Army Training Centre.

Jio Bhai @Bornubus ... Jio... I was waiting for this news for a while and finally there are some good pictures of the unmanned system.
Thanks for upload and keep up good work.

 

[SanjeevM]

Can they be produced in large quantities? Like toy factories making thousands of them?

Can we send these unmanned vehicles near enemy posts in the night and attack and throw grenades and open fire and return fast under covering fire?

We can also place them in the bushes on the LOC and wait for targets and hit them with surprise. They can be used for patrols instead of army men patrolling. It can save our men from ambushes.


I hope our army makes best use of available technology and save lives of army men.

drdo need much more advanced r&d all these robots look like some scince project am sure these robot will fail in practical condition (mars and daksh) am really concerned all our tax payers money get wasted in these type low quality robots, we must need futuristic designs from basic view it self its sure that these robot look like base on golf cart chase ...really disappointed

Muntra, country's first unmanned tank, rolls out from the Chennai lab


CHENNAI: Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed an unmanned, remotely operated tank which has three variants - surveillance, mine detection and reconnaissance in areas with nuclear and bio threats. It is called Muntra. Though developed and tested for the Army by Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) in Avadi, paramilitary has expressed interest to use them at Naxal-hit areas. That will require a few modifications.

The two remotely operated vehicles designed like an armoured tank were on display at an exhibition - Science for Soldiers - organised by DRDO as a tribute to former President APJ Abdul Kalam at CVRDe in Avadi.

Muntra-S is the country's first tracked unmanned ground vehicle developed for unmanned surveillance missions while Muntra-M is for detecting mines and Muntra-N is for operation in areas where there is a nuclear radiation or bio weapon risk.

The vehicle has been tested and validated at Mahajan field firing range in Rajasthan under dusty desert conditions where temperatures touched 52 C. Army comfortably tele-operated the vehicle. It has surveillance radar, an integrated camera along with laser range finder which can be used to spy on ground target 15km away - may be a crawling men or heavy vehicles.

The exhibition also showcased CCPT vehicle which is a remote command centre.

From a helmet-mounted night vision to nano-driven thermal and electromagnetic protection and laser weapons, DRDO showcased hundreds of products in an exhibition aimed at boosting the confidence of its employees and to change a negative perception towards the organisation in the government at heavy vehicles factory.

Besides heavy vehicles, DRDO labs also showcased a few inventions like a handheld wall penetration radar which if placed on a wall will project on a screen the presence of people inside a building and also a nano-based electro-magnetic shield which protects combat systems from electromagnetic attack and also a GSM monitoring system which helps to listen in on encrypted calls of mobile phones.

DRDO chairman S Christopher said the products displayed would convey the technical competence of the organisation to the soldiers and the society. He also said DRDO was working on installing AWAC (Airborne Early Warning and Control System) on an A330 aircraft. The system is now perfected for use on a smaller Embraer plane. The exhibition will be open to the public on Sunday.

Chennai: DRDO is looking for exporting version one or two of some weapon systems which become redundant for the Army because they have acquired newer versions, said its chairman S Christopher on Friday.

After inaugurating an exhibition that showcased a wide range of products that they were in talks with countries to export weapons and systems that are phased out by the Army due to acquisition of latest versions, he said, "Older versions are good for some countries which have shown interest. Some of the systems under development too could be exported. It would also create goodwill." He, however, did not reveal name of any country. He also said DRDO had urged the government to "allow us to test the products which we may not want immediately but can still be developed and exported. Torpedoes, rockets and missiles are a few products that are being considered for export." He gave the example of Pinaki rocket as latest GPS-driven ones have been developed.

Christopher also said DRDO products were ranked well world over. "We are fourth in the world in AWAC and fighter planes, fifth in missiles. Arjun is not far away from being the best among some countries."
As the thrust is on roping in private companies, DRDO is looking at capitalising on intellectual property. Private companies are being roped in because they are better placed to market and manufacture DRDO products and the Army seems to be more receptive when products are presented by private companies. Already 1 lakh crore has been generated in two years.

"If we can generate 5 lakh crore in five years we do not have to depend on government for funds," he said.
