Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has recently announce that a Carbine, jointly developed by its Pune-based facility and the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), had completed its final phase of user trials by the Army and was ready for induction.
The Joint Venture Protective Carbine (JVPC) is slated to replace the ageing 9 mm carbine currently in use by the armed forces.
The primary objective of this weapon system is to injure or incapacitate the target without causing casualty.
