This paper outlines the urgent need for a silent overwatch system for infantry combat vehicles(ICVs), specifically targeting the BMP-2, incorporating fuel cell or alternate fuel-based auxiliary power. The system’s primary objective is to facilitate silent operation of critical components such as the Commander Thermal Imaging Sight(CTIS), communication equipment and gun traverse. Crucially, this silent mode operation should be sustained for 6 to 7 hours without depleting the existing secondary batteries of the vehicle. The anticipated prototype technical solution is expected to deliver a Silent Watch Capability of 6 hours while ensuring seamless integration with the BMP-2 ICV using a C program. The immediate requirement is to develop a Silent Overwatch System for the BMP-2 ICV, ensuring silent operation for critical components such as CTIS, communication equipment and gun traverse. C program is written to predict the working hours of the system while operating different equipment continuously for 6 to 7 hours without impacting the vehicle’s secondary batteries.
