Automatic snow chain system for Army B vehicles

1-Indian Army vehicles operate extensively in snow-bound and icy regions where vehicle mobility is severely restricted due to reduced traction, verglas formation and heavy snowfall. 2- Presently, snow chains are either manually installed or not available on all vehicle types, leading to significant delays, increased manpower effort, safety hazards to personnel, and reduced operational mobility. 3- There is a requirement for an automatic or rapidly deployable snow chain system compatible across multiple Army “B” vehicle platforms to ensure assured mobility in snow and icy conditions without manual intervention.
