India's AI-fication of defense enables Arjun war tank to get artificial intelligence capabilities

India's AI-fication of Defense is in the hot discussion. The MK1A, an improved version of the Arjun platform, with advanced firepower, maneuverability, and survivability has been designed and developed by India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). The Janes report revealed that Bangalore-based Tonbo Imaging is building the system in collaboration with the state-run Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) plant in Chennai, India.

The report mentioned, "Tonbo Imaging is partnered with BEL, Chennai, to meet [BEL's] demand for fire-control systems. Hence, BEL offered a contract to manufacture and deliver the electro-optical fire-control system for Arjun MK1A MBTs." The Elpeos fire-control product will be delivered as part of the deal and integrated into the Arjun Main Battle tank. ELPEOS contains a cooled MWIR imager with high resolution, a color CCD camera, a Laser Range Finder, and an integrated ballistic computer. For target acquisition and georeferencing, it can optionally incorporate a GPS and a Digital Magnetic Compass with an inclinometer. This system provides a convenient way for tanks to acquire, lock, and engage moving targets using human or automatic tracking. The system has some silent features like automatic target detection, tracking, and classification. It is lightweight and has low power consumption. With numerous cutting-edge technology systems, the MK1A is outfitted with precise and superior firepower, all-terrain mobility, and unbreakable multi-layered protection. India's AI-fication of Defense has introduced AI in Indian defense with upgraded Arjun Main Battle tank

Arjun MK1A Tank

Arjun MK1A Tank is the updated version of the Arjun Tank developed by the Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) and other DRDO research facilities. The tank has multiple important enhancements over the Arjun MBT, the Indian Army's existing main combat tank in service. Moreover, the AI in Arjun Battle tank makes it capable to operate in all terrains and engage targets at night. The tank is outfitted with advanced technologies using artificial intelligence. Because of this, the indigenous MBT is at par with any modern tank in its class elsewhere in the world. The tank is specifically designed for Indian conditions, making it appropriate for deployment to protect the borders effectively. The order is anticipated to provide 200 Indian vendors, including micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs), with the opportunity to engage in manufacturing.
