New Delhi: The System solution oriented R& D enterprise Aartech Solonics Ltd has developed an innovative technology named Adaptive Alternate Power Module (AAPM).

The indigenous innovation for Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) and guns, including the K9 Vajra is designed to provide regulated DC power to tanks and guns based on the desired load, eliminating the need to switch on the main engine.

Aartech Solonics, in collaboration with Manmeet Singh Soni of Sudarshan Chakra Corps (EME) and IIT Mumbai, on Monday, announced the development of the AAPM.

According to a company statement, this breakthrough technology extends engine life, reduces fuel consumption, and enhances operational efficiency in extreme conditions.

AAPM, jointly developed and tested by Aartech Solonics and the Indian Army, and validated by IIT Mumbai, supplies power without running the main engine, preserving up to 20 per cent of engine life typically consumed during gun-firing operations. It operates seamlessly from +60C to -30C, making it ideal for both the scorching deserts and the freezing Himalayan heights.
