Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is an agency of the Republic of India, charged with the military's research and development, headquartered in New Delhi, India.

As you asking I am telling DRDO Combat Vehicles Research & Development Estt. (CVRDE) is carrying out an UGV project entitled "MUNTRA", involving the conversion of a BMP class of vehicles into teleoperated & autonomous vehicles.

DRDO CVRDE MUNTRA UGV is the first unmanned tracked vehicle from DRDO and is designed to be configurable for different missions.


DRDO CVRDE 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.
