Zen Technologies secures third patent for T-90 tank simulator, expanding military training capabilities

Amid weak market sentiment, Zen Technologies' stock price has crashed a staggering 57 percent since the start of the year.

Zen Technologies has strengthened its leadership in military simulation with the grant of its third patent for the T-90 Tank Simulator. The newly patented Containerised Driving Simulator System (T-90 DS) is a high-fidelity, portable training solution designed to enhance combat vehicle operator training.

Filed on March 24, 2022, and valid until March 2042, this patent marks the company’s fourth in 2025 and its 14th this financial year. The latest recognition adds to its previous patents for the Basic Gunnery Simulator (BGS) and Crew Gunnery Simulator (CGS), as well as three other patents covering T-72 and BMP-II tank simulator variants.

The T-90 DS offers an immersive training experience, integrating an exact replica of the tank driver’s station with a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion platform. This system accurately simulates the movements of a T-90 tank across different terrains, providing a realistic operational environment without the need for live vehicle training.

Equipped with scenario-based AI training, the simulator enables military personnel to navigate complex combat environments, including urban warfare, desert operations, and night manoeuvres. The integration of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) further enhances situational awareness, offering real-time battlefield simulations. Additionally, the system supports crew coordination and multi-unit training, fostering teamwork and operational efficiency.

Designed as a rapidly deployable, containerised unit, the T-90 DS is a plug-and-play mobile training facility that can be easily transported and set up at military bases. This flexibility allows armed forces to conduct high-quality training without the logistical constraints of moving heavy combat vehicles.

The company reported a net profit of Rs 38.62 crore in Q3, reflecting a 22 percent growth from the rs 31.67 crore that it posted in the same quarter last year, driven by higher other income. However, sequentially, net profit nearly halved from Rs 65.24 crore in the previous quarter.

The company’s revenue also showcased a similar trend. It surged 44 percent on year to Rs 141.52 crore in Q3, up from Rs 98.08 crore, however, it was down 41 percent from the Rs 241.69 crore it clocked in the September quarter, reflecting a significant sequential slowdown.

The company's order book stood robust at Rs 816.91 crore as of the end of the December quarter, giving the management confidence over a healthy pipeline for the coming quarters.

Zen Technologies shares closed at Rs 1,040, lower by 0.42 percent from the last close on the NSE. Amid weak market sentiment, Zen Technologies' stock price has crashed a staggering 57 percent since the start of the year.
