Chennai based CVRDE to design futuristic tank

[hkdas]

Chennai: The city based Combat Vehicles Research & Development Establishment (CVRDE) would soon come up with a futuristic battle tank that would trace an incoming missile from the enemy camp and retaliate with its own missile combining passive and active protection systems.

Chennai: The city based Combat Vehicles Research & Development Establishment (CVRDE) would soon come up with a futuristic battle tank that would trace an incoming missile from the enemy camp and retaliate with its own missile combining passive and active protection systems.

CVRDE director Dr P. Sivakumar on Monday said that their laboratory had embarked on a mission to develop a futuristic battle tank that would come with active protection system to safeguard the tank from Fin Stabilized Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot (FSAPDS) ammunition, the most lethal kinetic energy ammunition, capable of destroying all known tank armour. FSA PDS travels at a speed of over 1,700 metres per second and no country in the world has developed a technology to protect their tanks from such a lethal kinetic weapon.

“Countries like Israel, Russia, Germany and Sweden have technology for ammunition that travels at 1,000 metres per second and we are the first country to work in kinetic energy threats (missiles that travel at over 1,700 metres per second),” Dr Sivakumar said while speaking to DC on the sidelines of an international conference on energy materials at Sathyabama University.

Pointing out that CVR DE had incorporated softkill technology (passive protection technology) in main battle tank Arjun Mark 2, the eminent scientist said that if the enemy fires a missile using an infrared weapon, softkill passive technology in Arjun mark 2 would jam the infrared rays as it had only passive technology.

“Suppose the enemy fires a laser guided missile or a beam rider missile (BRM), etc, in such cases the futuristic battle tank will have laser sensors, which will identify whether it is fired from laser guided machine or BRM. The active protection system would launch grenades, which will generate smoke. By this process, we are going to hide our tank and the tank would also retaliate at the enemy by launching a missile. This way we are combining passive protection system and active protection system in a battle tank,” he said.

Right now two tanks of the world have 3rd generation capability, one is of Korea and second is of Japan.

They have better Electronics and Modern armaments.

Future Tanks will have Radars, Missile warning, Radar warning, Gatling Gun with CIWS and attack role, so Defender and Attack role.

Very ambitious project. Hope they'll be successful

LOOK at the tank picture.............................it is looking coooooooooooooooool

That is a CGI ..... not the FMBT .

......I know....

atling Gun with CIWS

Might be laser defence instead of CIWS

That tank pic is from a war gaming site. Don't take it at picture value.

If its getting designed in Chennai avadi tank factory, forget about the tank till the year 2500,,, Many of my friends did apprentice training here, almost 90% officers won't do anything here, most of them will maintain a girlfriend who are working here as contract employees and officers will just make time pass with them inside the woods. Common change the project, somewhere else.
