Zen Technologies, a leading provider of defence training and anti-drone solutions, today announced that it has secured an order worth ₹177.5 crore (inclusive of GST) from the Ministry of Defence for the upgradation and integration of T-90 Driving Simulators and Crew Gunnery Simulators.
This marks the first-ever order for an integrated T-90 crew training platform that enables tank drivers and gunners to train together in a single, immersive virtual environment. By replicating coordinated crew operations, the platform enhances teamwork, communication, and decision-making under realistic battlefield conditions.
Key Features of the Integrated Tank Crew Training System
- India’s First Integrated Tank Crew Simulator: Combines Tank Driving Simulator (DS) and Crew Gunnery Simulator (CGS) into a single training ecosystem, enabling complete crew training.
- Indigenously Designed & Developed: 100% designed and developed in India
- Immersive 3D Battlefield Environment: Replicates realistic operational scenarios across diverse terrains with dynamic weather, day/night conditions and battlefield effects.
- AI-Enabled Opposing Forces: Intelligent adversaries create adaptive combat scenarios that challenge crews with realistic tactical situations.
- Reduced Operating Costs: Minimizes the need for live vehicle deployment, ammunition expenditure and equipment wear while increasing training availability.
- Scalable & Upgradeable Architecture: Modular design enables future integration with additional simulation systems and evolving training requirements.
Commenting on the development, Ashok Atluri, Chairman and Managing Director, Zen Technologies, said, “This opportunity extends far beyond India. Across the world, we are seeing two clear trends emerge. Established defence forces are modernising ageing simulation infrastructure with more immersive, networked training systems, while many emerging military powers particularly across the non western world are investing in simulation for the first time. These nations have a unique opportunity to leapfrog legacy technologies and adopt fully integrated crew training platforms that deliver higher combat readiness with significantly lower lifecycle training costs.”
“As the global security environment becomes increasingly complex, militaries can no longer afford lengthy training cycles or excessive dependence on live platforms. Integrated simulation will become a cornerstone of future armoured force training, enabling forces to prepare faster, train smarter, and maintain a higher state of operational readiness. We believe this represents a significant long-term opportunity for Zen Technologies as defence organisations worldwide accelerate the adoption of next-generation simulation capabilities,” he added.
