DRDO’s Combat Vehicles Research and Development establishment has been developing an unmanned ground combat vehicle based on the Arjun Mk1A combat platform with the 12 millimetres main gun as the primary weapon.
As per latest information, private sector firm Data Patterns is developing an auto loader for the unmanned Arjun Tank which will extract the shell and propellant charge from the ammunition storage rack and will load it into the Chamber of the gun.
The unmanned Arjun will also use the DRDO developed indigenous Geographical Information System to provide the operator with a visual perspective of the operational train and generate a feasible route for the unmanned vehicle to reach a Target location.
