IMPROVED LIGHTING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR BMP-II/IIK AND ITS VARIANTS.
The present Lighting system in BMP-II ICV uses incandescent lighting technology which provides low illumination (fixed), consumes high power and also generates heat signature.
To update the BMP-II vehicles with the world peers in-terms of power saving, reduction in heat signature, to provide better illumination to crew with intensity control and to use the contour lights for Friend or Foe Identification (IFF) application in addition to the basic purpose, there is a requirement to improve the existing lighting system using latest indigenously available technology.
