DRDO Chief: Light tank to be ready soon

DRDO Chief: Light tank to be ready soon Recently we have informed our viewers that MoD has accorded Approval-In-Principle (AIP) for light weight tank funded Make-I category on 03 March which means Government will pay for atleast 70% for the prototype development. The front runner in the light tank development is the tank being developed by L&T and DRDO. In a recent interview with Business World, DRDO Chief G Satheesh Reddy said that the Light Tank Project is taken up by DRDO. We have already designed and, we are developing the prototype. Light Tank should be ready very soon. DRDO & L&T Light Tank As we have reported multiple times, DRDO’s CVRDE and L&T has already started working on the Lightweight Tank. They have already started procuring armor steel and other systems and tools for the program which we can find from the multiple tenders issued this year. Initially the plan was to use the existing K-9 Vajra Chassis and replace its 155mm gun with a 105mm gun to reduce its weight. But it seems this plan has been dropped now. CVRDE is going ahead with the chassis of NG-MBT. Though this was designed initially for Indian Army FRCV program, CVRDE seems to be reusing the same design for Light Tank which seems to be right Segway for development. The tank will be capable of firing multiple munitions with 105mm main gun & 7.62mm coaxial machine gun as a secondary weapon. It will offer the protection level of NATO STNAG 4569 Level 4. One of the unique features of this design is the 3-member crew configuration located at the frontal portion of the hull which has maximum protection. This will increase the amount of passive, composite and reactive armour protection required for the crew. The light tank will be powered by a High altitude Operable power pack capable of delivering 1000hp. Looking at the present progress made by CVRDE on the Lightweight Tanks, we can expect the first prototype of the tank coming out between 2023-24 followed by its trial. The production of tanks may start by 2027. Requirement of Light Tank In April 2021, The Indian Ministry of Defense had issued an official RFI for the phased purchase of next generation 350 light tanks under make in India scheme of DAP-2020. The requirement of the light tank was felt after China fielded its light tank Type-15 during the standoff in Ladakh. The combat weight of tanks i.e., the weight of fully loaded tank should not exceed 25 tons with modular and upgradable main gain, secondary armament for anti-air and ground roles with different calibre and assisted via remote weapon station. It should also fire Modern Advance Multipurpose ‘Smart Munitions’ with Gun tube launched anti-tank guided missile and able to defeat Tanks, ‘A’ Vehicles, UAVs & Soft Skinned Vehicles and PGMs. It should have STNAG level protection from all sides including TOP. It must have Explosive reactive armour, soft kill measures, CBRN Protection & Instant Fire Detection and Suppression system. ==========WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN============= Most of the pictures clip or BGM included in the Video Belongs to their Respected Owners and we do not claim rights.
