Automation of track adjustment mechanism of BMP-II.

The existing track stension adjustment mechanism in BMP-II is manual, i.e., through a worm and worm wheel arrangement. After adjustment, the idler wheel crank is locked in its place with the help of lock coupling and lock nut. The winner will demonstrate automation of the existing manual track tension adjustment mechanism with the help of an electric motor or a linear actuator, and develop an automatic locking/unlocking mechanism without loss of performance capability. The mechanism should be designed such that there is no deterioration in the existing performance characteristics of BMP II.
