In a major breakthrough, IgMp has learnt that DRDO is working on an Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle (UGCV).

In the April 2022 publication of DRDO's technology focus, it has been mentioned that the DRDO’s Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) has been working on the design and development of an Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle (UGCV) based on the Arjun Mark-1A Main Battle Tank (MBT) that will feature the 120 millimeters main gun as the primary weapon.

The DRDO plans to employ the Indigenous Geographical Information System (IGIS) that will provide the unmanned tank operator with a visual perspective of the operational terrain and the location of the tank.

This will be used to generate a feasible route for the tank to follow and reach an operator-defined target location.
