2 projects approved, 5 special by Indian Army which gives impetus to ‘Atma Nirbhaarta’

New Delhi The Army has approved design permission orders of five Make II systems, including drone kill system and army training armament simulator, giving an motivation to India’s vision for tone- reliance, the Defence Ministry said on Friday. To give a farther boost to the ongoing systems, the Indian Army has now approved Project Sanction Orders( PSOs) of five Make II systems furnishing motivation to Atma Nirbhaarta.

“ Indian Army is leading conduct to give motivation to “ Make systems ” as the high motorists of infusion of niche technologies through indigenous development. To give a farther boost to the ongoing systems, the Indian Army has now approved Project Sanction Orders( PSOs) of five Make II systems. Make II systems are basically Assiduity funded systems involving design, development and innovative results by Indian merchandisers for the development of prototypes. An assurance of order is given after successful prototype development, ” the Ministry said.

These systems whose PSOs have been approved, included high frequence man packed software defined radio, drone kill system, infantry training weapon simulator( IWTS), 155 mm terminally guided munition( TGM) and medium range perfection kill system( MRPKS), the ministry said.

The provision of Make order of capital accession in Defence Procurement Procedure is a vital pillar for realising the vision behind the Make in India action.

Drone Kill System Drone Kill System is a hard killanti-drone system against low Radio Cross Section( RCS) Drone or unmanned Aerial System( UAS), being developed to serve in all types of terrains, both during day and night. Infantry Training Weapon Simulator It’ll be utilised to compound the shooter chops of youthful dogfaces on variety of munitions used by the, furnishing stoner-friendly plates to pretend battle scripts.

PSO for development of prototype of High frequence Man Packed Software Defined Radio( HFSDR) under Make II scheme has been issued to 14 Developing Agencies( DAs). And, 300 HFSDRs are planned to be carried by the Indian Army, on successful development of the prototype, it said. As part of sweats to further encourage the indigenousanti-drone ecosystem, the Indian Army has approved PSO to 18 DAs for procurement of 35 sets of drone kill systems under the Make II scheme, post successful development of a prototype. The design is reserved for MSMEs/ launch- ups, the statement said.

Make II procurement scheme has given an motivation to increase the Design & Development in the defence assiduity to achieve the indigenisation of high- end technology systems in colorful types of armament systems, security and ultramodern training systems, which are presently not available in the country.

Multiple measures to expedite the ongoing Make II systems have redounded in palpable issues. 22 out of 43 Make II systems are now in prototype development stage, which is 66 of systems by cost( Rs,18,000 crores out of,27,000 crores).
