The control station has a user friendly interface and advanced controls for managing the multiple operations of Daksh. The ROV Daksh can be remotely controlled by a single operator using the MCS. Master control station (MCS) of the Indian Army’s ROV PGC unit is also provided with user definable alarm settings and auto peak detection and reporting features. It has a user programmable library of gases with their features, to enable quick detection and determination of contamination levels. It displays the results in numeric as well as graphical format. PGC detects the presence of gas and the concentration levels. The dedicated sensor element can detect radiation leaks. It can detect X and Gamma rays from 60keV to 2MeV and is equipped with multiple detectors for gamma dose and gamma flash. The RADMAC measures neutron dose and INR dose. The image processing software allows the users to alter brightness, contrast, sharpness, blurring, negation and mirror settings.ĭaksh is equipped with a radiation measurement and automatic control unit (RADMAC) and portable gas chromatograph (PGC) to monitor the contamination level in NBC affected surroundings. The unit is equipped with real-time imaging facility with zoom in / out and multiple auto snapshot creation facility. The onboard X-ray unit scans horizontal and vertical planes.
The vehicle can lift, drag and tow suspected objects away from the area.
The water jet disrupter fitted on the vehicle can safely diffuse IEDs. The IED handling equipment scans, handles and removes hazardous objects. The major task carried out by ROV Daksh is IED handling.
IED handling equipment of the remotely operated vehicle The ROV Daksh and MCS are transported by a specially designed carrier vehicle.
ROV Daksh is equipped with multiple cameras, IED handling equipment, nuclear biological chemical (NBC) reconnaissance systems, a master control station (MCS) and a shotgun. The vehicle can tow suspected platforms and operate continuously for three hours once fully recharged. The solid rubber wheels of Daksh can withstand blast impacts. The vehicle’s manipulator arm can handle hazardous objects of up to 20kg from 2.5m and 9kg from a 4m distance.ĭaksh can climb stairs and negotiates steep slopes. It can be remotely controlled from a range of 500m. ROV Daksh main features The remotely operated vehicle is based on a motorised pan-tilt platform. In January 2017, DRDO announced the development of two robots in the Daksh series, namely Daksh Mini and Daksh Scout. The ROV was inducted by the Pune City Police Department, India in October 2018. The first batch of five ROV Daksh was delivered to the Indian Army in December 2011. In 2010, the Indian Army placed a limited-series-production order for 20 Daksh vehicles after extensive trials, testing and acceptance.
