In a significant development for India’s tank warfare capabilities, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully developed a microclimate system for the Arjun tank. This cutting-edge technology is aimed at enhancing the comfort and efficiency of tank crews operating in extreme weather conditions.
The microclimate system is designed to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the tank’s crew compartment, providing a stable and optimal environment for the crew. This is particularly crucial in India, where the armed forces often operate in diverse terrains with varying climatic conditions.
The system’s development is a testament to DRDO’s commitment to indigenization and technological advancement in the defense sector. It is expected to significantly improve the operational capabilities of the Arjun tank, enabling it to perform effectively in a wider range of environments.
