CVRDE is carrying out an UGV project entitled "MUNTRA", involving the conversion of a BMP class of vehicles into teleoperated & autonomous vehicles.

• The MUNTRA UGV is the first unmanned tracked vehicle from DRDO and is designed to be configurable for different missions. The UGV developed has a very diverse range of technologies and systems incorporated in it, including electro-optics, sensor fusion, electro-mechanical actuators and communication systems.
• Various innovative methodologies are implemented in the MUNTRA UGV, including dynamic power management to ensure optimum use of the available power and software design to facilitate interoperability between UGV systems.
• Indigenously developed GIS is extensively used in the MUNTRA UGV for planning missions and for recording the details of the paths traversed.
• Various failsafe mechanisms are incorporated in the MUNTRA UGV to ensure safe and error free operations.
• The MUNTRA UGV was developed conforming to various military standards for both hardware and software designs.
• "Obstacle detection technology for autonomous navigation of UGV"
