India’s DRDO Unveils All-new Wheeled, Tracked Armoured Attack Platforms

India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) today unveiled two all-new armoured platforms (Tracked and Wheeled) at DRDO’s laboratory in Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra on April 25, 2026.

The platforms have been developed to meet the emerging operational requirements of the Defence Forces.

Both the platforms have been integrated with indigenously developed 30 mm Crewless Turret, with advanced features to meet the mobility, fire power and protection requirements.

Integrated with high power engine and automatic transmission, these platforms possess a high power to weight ratio, higher speed capabilities, gradient and obstacle negotiating capability, STANAG level 4 and 5 protection with modular blast and ballistic protection all around.

In addition they have amphibian with improved water obstacle crossing capability by incorporating hydro jets.

The 30 mm crewless turret along with the 7.62 mm PKT gun is configured to launch Anti-Tank Guided Missiles as well. The base design has the capabilities to be configured for multiple roles. The indigenous content is to the tune of 65% with plans to increase it to 90%.

The manufacturing of the platforms has been carried out by two industry partners – TATA Advanced Systems Limited  and Bharat Forge Limited supported by many MSMEs. This collaboration has resulted in strengthening the evolving defence ecosystem.
