]]> ‘Wolfpack,’ developed by Lt Cdr D Rajendrakumar, director of programmes at Tonbo Imaging, gives tank crew the ability to see right through their armour, without sticking their heads up through hatches or looking through portholes which afford a narrow field of vision. It uses a series of special cameras fitted to a 360-degree mount and fixed to the turret. The camera feeds video round the clock to heads-up displays worn by crew members. 

The setup was mounted on a BMP II Sarath armoured-personnel carrier at Aero India 2021 and was examined by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Rajendrakumar said that the system was currently under trial by the Israeli defence forces and that data from its performance was expected soon.

The system can also provide thermal imaging information directly into the headsets of tank crew. It can identify armoured vehicles at a range of up to 2,000 metres and individual troops at a range of up to 500 metres.
