MP-170 is an active concept-demonstrator program. A working development unit exists and has been through controlled trials; this round funds the next production batch and its field testing.
In order: materials and assembly for the next 12-unit batch, terrain trials across three climate zones, then training and handoff to the first field units. A full breakdown is shared with Vanguard and Bharat Shield Partner backers.
Batch 24-2 assembly begins once this round closes, with terrain trials to follow over the subsequent two quarters. Backers receive timeline updates on the cadence tied to their tier.
Yes — that's what the Bharat Shield Partner tier is for. It opens a direct conversation with the program's engineering lead about procurement and partnership, rather than a one-way pledge.
