Defence Company of India Tata motors showcases a full range of combat vehicles at DefExpo 2012

Tata Motors today showcased a new Micro Bullet-Proof Vehicle (MBPV) at DEFEXPO India 2012, a highly mobile combat vehicle for indoor combat inside airports, railway stations and other such infrastructure. The concept is the first of its kind design to assist the country's elite forces in indoor combat. Besides, Tata Motors launched four other defence vehicles - the Tata 12x12 Prahaar Missile Carrier, the Tata Light Armoured Vehicle, the Tata Mobile Bunker and the Tata 6x6 7kl Refueler and displayed a range of other concept vehicles, such as the Tata Quick Deployment Mobile Communication Terminal (QDMCT).

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. P. M. Telang, Managing Director - India Operations, Tata Motors, said, "The launch of our new combat & tactical vehicles and equipment, leveraged from our strength in design and development of a wide range of commercial vehicles, now enables us to cover the entire defence mobility spectrum. Tata Motors defence solutions already covers the complete range of logistics and armoured vehicles that have also been popular in supporting the police and paramilitary forces in counter insurgency operations."

At the DEFEXPO, Tata Motors displayed scaled models of its concept Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) (Tracked & Wheeled), including the turret. In addition, the proposed layout of the production facility was also displayed. Tata Motors is one of the four Indian companies, which has been issued the Expression of Interest (EoI) by the Indian Army, for the FICV - a 'Make Indian' project. Tata Motors has accordingly responded to the EoI based on indigenous design and development in association with key technology partners and submitted their response in October 2010.

Tata Micro Bullet-Proof Vehicle (MBPV): The Tata Micro Bullet-Proof Vehicle (MBPV) is a project that is being jointly developed by VRDE-DRDO and Tata Motors, for providing the country's elite commando forces (NSG, Marine Commandos, Para Battalions & Force One) with a protected mobility solution that assists them during indoor combat against insurgents. The need for this kind of a solution has been felt desperately by commando units, who face multiple hostage situations; wherein terrorists have been holed up inside confined premises, houses, hotels, malls and airports.

The MBPV has been designed keeping indoor combat in mind, with special features like bullet resistant panels for protection, compact dimensions, with 4-wheel assisted turning for easy movement within indoor confines and high power-to-weight ratio for fast & agile movement, during combat. Firing ports have also been incorporated for retaliatory action. Moreover, it has an added capability of climbing stairs as well.

The vehicle is protected against gunfire, corresponding to ballistic protection of NIJ Level III. It is a highly mobile platform and can be used as a base for various protected applications like troop carriers, ambulances and buses.

Tata 6x6 7kl Refueler: Tata Motors has developed an indigenous high mobility, all-terrain and all-wheel drive refueler vehicle, specifically for the Indian Armed forces, Paramilitary, State police, DPSUs, State Government & Municipal agencies and the Aviation industry. The base vehicle has already been trial evaluated by the Indian Armed forces, for various applications like Common Gun Tower, HMV with material handling crane and Multi-Barrel Rocket launcher GRAD BM 21.

Tata LSV - QDMCT (Quick Deployment Mobile Communication Terminal): The Tata LSV - QDMCT is a shelter based, self-contained vehicle mounted communication system that provides wide area IP network. It provides reliable and secured IP connectivity for data, voice & video, between various nodes. Multiple communication media have been provided for both data & voice connectivity. The state-of-the-art Tata QDMCT is designed and developed in collaboration with RCI - DRDO. The system has found an ideal platform in the Tata LSV, which is a high payload, high mobility & low silhouette military platform, designed for withstanding tough weather and terrain conditions.

Tata 8x8 Water Purification System: Tata Motors has developed a mobile water decontamination system on the LPTA 3138 8x8, for all-terrain, all weather operation in collaboration with M/s. WEW (Germany). This application is especially developed keeping the drinking water contamination problem, faced by Armed Forces, Paramilitary force, at disaster struck areas. This application is also apt for State Governments and various Municipal agencies, to tackle the issue of supplying drinking water to remote villages. This water decontamination system is capable of purifying the most impure forms of water and makes it portable through Reverse Osmosis (RO) process.

Tata 8x8 Missile Carrier: Tata Motors has developed an indigenous high mobility, all-terrain and all-wheel drive Tata vehicle, specifically for various all terrain applications like Command and Control unit, Missile Carrier, MHC Radar Station and Missile Firing Platform.

Tata Motors has designed and developed the Safari Storme GS 800, in-house, in line with the requirements of the forces.

Tata Safari Storme Armoured: With the strong resurgence of threat perceptions amongst high profile dignitaries, trade delegates, etc., the need arises for a mode of transport, which is very safe, but at the same time comfortable and stylish enough for this segment of people. Tata Motors offers the Tata Armored Safari Storme, equipped with latest state-of-art technology, for catering to VVIP movements. The Armored Safari Storme inculcates a strengthened chassis & suspension system, enhanced braking efficiency of the vehicle, to take care of the additional armoring weight, so that the performance of vehicle remains similar, to that of the unarmored Safari. Such a vehicle carries a CMVR certificate and is legal to run on road as per CMVR. The vehicle has internal Up-Armoring and to the untrained eye, the look is "innocent".

Tata Xenon Recce 4x4: Tata Motors has developed the Xenon Recce 4x4, specifically for off-road patrolling usage by the Armed Forces, both in India and abroad. For this purpose, it has developed separate engines, complying with both BS III, as well as Euro norms. Equipped with state-of-the-art high mobility features, the Xenon Recce provides the Central Paramilitary Forces, and State police forces, with a lethal platform to carry out Combing Operations, Jungle Warfare with ease.

DefExpo 2012: Pointer weapon cueing system to be demonstrated in India

Pointer was developed jointly by Qinetiq, Istec, and Qioptiq to provide a cueing system, for weapons such as the widely deployed .50cal M2 heavy machine gun and the 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), that can be easily networked to deployed sensors to provided rapid target marking directly to the gunners enabling those best placed to counter the threat to react.

For the Indian demonstration Pointer will be fitted on a pintle-mounted machine gun on a light utility vehicle equipped with the Metravib PILARw gunshot detection system.

Indian paramilitary forces, such as the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) with 220 battalions, spearhead the government’s counter-insurgency campaign against groups such as the various Maoist-inspired Naxalite groups. On 6 April 2010 an estimated 1,000 Naxalite fighters killed 76 CRPF officers and wounded 50 in two separate ambushes and wounding 50 others. The government is boosting the numbers and improving the equipment of the CRPF and other paramilitary forces to counter the insurgent threat.

Mark Lee, of Istec Services, which is leading the Pointer marketing effort in India, told Shephard that senior paramilitary officials were briefed on the Pointer in late 2011 and requested a demonstration.

The Pointer team believe the system is ideally suited for counter insurgency, force protection and internal security duties. Using information provided by C4ISR assets, shot detection systems or a simple map, Pointer sends target location information directly to the head up display mounted on the weapon station. This system also enables multiple weapon systems to be cued onto the same or several different targets silently allocating priority as and when required.

The vehicle-mounted Pointer is suited for such roles as fire support and convoy protection. Integrated on a tripod-mounted weapon it can be used to protect combat outposts and forward operating bases.

The US Special Operations Command has acquire a small number for trails and the UK Ministry of Defence DSTL technology organisation on behalf of the Royal Navy is trialling the Pointer on ship-mounted GPMGs to fill the ‘air gap’ between the weapon and the ship’s radars. At present target information is passed verbally from the command centre or observers to the GPMG gunners, who are typically the ship’s last line of defence against fast inshore attack craft.

[Killswitch]

Every year, the same thing. Amazing new capabilities for the forces are displayed. Almost none of them become a reality, or if they do, they take far too long to do so.

Still waiting for these basics:

A world class assault rifle, LMG, carbine, sniper rifle family

155/52 artillery

A new flack cannon for air defense

Night vision goggles for the troops

An HMG for strong point defense as well as vehicle mounting

etc...
