Controlled Aerial Delivery System (CADS)

CADS delivers the attached payload within a CEP of 100 m utilizing gliding & manoeuvring capability of a high performance RAM Air Parachute. The system operates under complete autonomous mode with manual override capability during its entire flight regime. The system could be dropped from an altitude of 7600 m (max) (AMSL) and can travel up to 30 km. CADS technology for 500 kg payload has already developed and demonstrated successfully for induction.

Computerized Pilot Selection System (CPSS)

A state-of-the-art embedded micro controller based CPSS with built-in security features has been indigenously designed and developed by DIPR & ADE against the sanctioned project of IAF. The system is used to evaluate the candidates’ psychomotor skills Information processing skills (speed and accuracy), coordination, visualization, time-sharing along with cognitive information processing skills. By subjecting large number of candidates simultaneously to perform concurrent multiple tasks. The system consisting of 20 Nos. of Psychomotor systems and 100 Nos.

Combat Free Fall System (CFF)

CFF parachute system provides total solutions to Paratrooper for jumping from height as high as 30,000 ft., can glide up to 30 km range and can land at the desired target. System can be used in High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) as well as in High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) modes. CFF parachute system has been inducted into Services.

CBRN Recce Vehicle Mk-II (Tracked)

The CBRN Recce vehicle (Tracked) Mk-II is a reconnaissance platform capable of detecting, identifying, monitoring and marking of areas contaminated with CBRN agents and transmit this information to the supported formations. The vehicle is based on BMP-II platform re-engineered to accommodate different systems required for CBRN Recce purpose. The CBRN Reconnaissance Vehicle (Tracked) Mark- II will be used in plains and desert/semi deserts terrains.  

CBRN Mini UGV

CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear) Mini UGV is used for detection, sample collection and marking of CBRN contaminated (Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear) zones without risk of exposing personnel. UGV being unmanned/ tele-operated vehicles have upper edge over conventional manned NBC recce vehicles, specifically, in terms of personnel safety for the Armed forces.

Bridge Layer Tank (BLT) Arjun

BLT Arjun is a fast and reliable bridge laying system built on the Main Battle Tank Arjun, it is capable of launching a 24 m bridge with in 10 minutes on any wet and dry obstacles, facilitating speedy induction

The launching mechanism is supported by State-of-the-art hydraulic system for launching and retrieval operations. It has a separate auxiliary engine provided for contingencies

Salient Features:

Brake Parachute

Brake Parachutes have been designed to provide adequate deceleration to fighter aircraft of different weight class and to stop them within specified landing speed in both normal and emergency conditions. Well proven and inducted single canopy brake parachute is used to stop the aircraft, having landing weight varying from 9 Ton to 20 Ton for normal and emergency landing speeds. Very stable twin canopies brake parachutes had also been designed and inducted for fighter aircraft landing weight varying from 20 Ton to 40 Ton, for normal and emergency landing speeds.

Battle Field Surveillance Radar

BFSR-SR is a state-of-the-art lightweight, man- portable battery-powered electronic short range battlefield surveillance radar developed by the DRDO to provide all- weather surveillance against intrusion. The radar is capable of searching a specified sector and performing track while scanning for multiple targets. The radar detects, tracks, and aids in classifying the moving targets. The entire radar system is carried by two soldiers and operated on a tripod.

70 T Tank Transporter for MBT Arjun

The weight of MBT Arjun- Mk 1A is 68t. As a tactical and strategic mobility, the MBT’s need to be transported up to the battle – field on the special transporter with tractor and full trailer combination by road. VRDE, Ahmednagar has developed full trailer for the above purpose. Full trailer realized through DRDO nominated Production Agency (PA) and DRDO Internal trials with MBT Arjun MK-1 A completed.
