OVERVIEW

The Defence R&D focuses on the mobile land systems and aggregates specific to the requirements of the Indian Defence forces. The domains include Armouring, Tracked running gear system, Military Cranes, NBC, IFDSS, IFMS, Recovery Winches, Power packs (with higher power to weight ratio), Auxiliary power units and military communication systems etc. In addition to these, it has the expertise of generic mobile systems such as power line aggregates, Hydro Pneumatic suspensions, Hydraulic systems, vehicle electronics etc.

The Development programs that are handled by this group are broadly categorized under wheeled & tracked segments, like Armoured recovery vehicles, Armoured Combat Vehicles, Mine protected vehicles, Armoured personnel carriers, Missile launchers, command post vehicles, bridges, land systems on wheeled platforms.

The execution of these programs is supported by subject matter expertise with In-depth knowledge and expertise on a broad spectrum of engineering design applications.
