2.7.3 Anti-Ballistic Missile Defence Project.

2.6.1 Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP).

2.5.3.1 Information command and control systems.

2.3.5 Laser Science & Technology Centre (LASTEC).

2.3.3 Command and control software and decision-making tools.

2.2.2.1 Chemical Kit for Detection of Explosives (CKDE).

2.1.2 Other Hindustan Aeronautics programs.

The system is now perfected for use on a smaller Embraer plane. The Muntra tanks have surveillance radar, an integrated camera along with laser range finder, which can be used to spy on ground target about 15 kilometres away.īesides heavy weights, the DRDO 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.ĭRDO is now working on installing AWAC (Airborne Early Warning and Control System) on an A330 aircraft. The tanks have been tested and validated at Mahajan field firing range in Rajasthan. Muntra N – This variant will be deployed in areas where nuclear radiation or the risk of bio weapons is high. Muntra M – This variant has been developed for detecting mines.

Muntra S – This variant has been developed to carry out unmanned surveillance missions. More about the variants of the unmanned tank ‘Muntra’. Recently two vehicles that have been designed like an armoured tank were recently displayed at the Science for Soldiers exhibition that was organised by DRDO as a tribute to former President APJ Abdul Kalam, who was also known as the Missile Man of India.ĭuring the testing of the vehicle, it was found that its surveillance radar that includes an integrated camera can be used to spy on targets that are 15 km away. The paramilitary has expressed its interest in using them in the areas that have been affected by the Naxals. The tank which is a first of its kind in the country has been developed and tested by Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) in Avadi for the army.

The agency has developed the tank in three different variants to tackle any kind of situation- for surveillance, another for mine detection and a third variant for reconnaissance in areas with nuclear and bio threats. Government agency Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed India's first unmanned tank that can remotely operate and has named it ‘Muntra’.
