Detailed Description

Industrial design has started to play a major role in the development of Defence Industries in the past few years. India has transformed from a developing country to a fast-emerging superpower. Science and technology have also developed at a fast pace. With the increase in potential, the need to safeguard the country has also increased. For the past few years, the tension in the Indian Subcontinent has increased. So, the defence is of utmost importance. The government has started many research and development programs to look into this field. With age-old Infantry Combat Vehicles (ICVs), our soldiers can’t have an upper edge over their enemy. For the past 30 years, BMP-2 has been serving the Indian Army. But with advancements in Science & Technology, the warfare scenario has changed drastically. The need to safe guard our soldiers’s lives and to keep their trust in the army is the main motto of this project. Having a good fighting instrument really plays a vital role in moral buildup. The project is intended to save soldiers lives, give them better fighting power, conduct agronomical analysis, redesign the present existing ICV in the Indian Army, and solve their backdrops.
