The Indian Army has received the first ever homemade unmanned ground vehicle which will be used for; surveillance, to detect nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and mines.
The prototype of the Unmanned Ground Vehicle, which has been developed and handed to the Indian Army for trials, is based on an infantry fighting vehicle BMP-II platform.
It has been developed by the state-owned Combat Vehicles Research & Development Establishment (CVRDE) based at Avadi operating under India’s defense research agency, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
DRDO scientists say the unmanned vehicle is a precursor to the planned futuristic unmanned artillery tank.
The prototype of the unmanned infantry vehicle consists of Drive-by-Wire (DBW) system which includes electromechanical actuators and drives for the driver interfaces such as acceleration, brake, gear shifting, steering, clutch, parking brake, etc. said a scientist of DRDO. The signals from the engine like, engine rpm, vehicle speed, etc are acquired by a data acquisition card and displayed in the graphical user interface(GUI).
The Indian Army plans to use a variety of unmanned systems besides the unmanned infantry soldier carrying vehicle. It plans to build Futuristic Main Battle Tanks which will operate without the crew.
The tanks would be linked with command information system linked to reconnaissance aircraft and satellites.
