An advanced laser
warning countermeasure system and a mobile camouflage system have
recently been tested and proven on the Arjun MBT Mk.II in the Mahajan
Field Firing Range in Rajasthan. Both capabilities will be strong
survivability factors on the new improved tanks as it heads into a
crucial phase of user trials.
The new camouflage system has been
developed to provide multi-spectral signature management for Arjun
Mk.II, in order to protect the vehicle against all enemy sensors and
smart munitions.
According to the CVRDE, “the performance evaluation trials have been conducted at MFFR
and system has been
integrated in the Arjun MBT.” The advanced laser warning countermeasure
system has been developed to increase survivability of Arjun Mk.II
against anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) with semi automatic command to
line-of-sight (SACLOS) system, ATGMs with a laser target designator,
beam rider ATGMs, and tanks fitted with a laser range finder. During
recent trials, the ALWCS was integrated with the Arjun’s integrated fire
control system.
