    The Carrier Command Post Tracked (CCPT) vehicles, made by the Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE), DRDO, will be joining the Army on October 30. The CCPT is a special vehicle designed to control and coordinate artillery guns. It will be rolled out from the Medak ordnance factory in the presence of senior officials from different organizations.

    The CCPT is the first of its kind with a tracked chassis and it houses the Artillery Combat Command and Control System (ACCCS).
