Conversion of Tank T-72 into Autonomous Armoured Fighting Veh (AFV) Platform

Tank T-72 is a legacy platform and has been the backbone of India's Armour profile since 1979. The tank is due to be replaced by an upgraded futuristic platforms. Further, the Armoured Corps is in process of implementing MUM-T architecture in the operational philosophy which merits induction and integration of UAS and UGV with the MBT fleet as modern battlefield demands fusion of manned and unmanned systems to maintain combat edge over adversaries in transparent and highly visible digitised battlefield. Therefore, these legacy T-72 can be utilised in judicious manner by converting them to Autonomous AFV platforms to augment the manned tanks and implement MUM-T operational framework.
