i am bit skeptical if they add the truck variants of SPAG and AA
This is TATA & rheinmetall & OFB product came out in early 2010 the 35mm x 228 KDG, the GDM-008 and the Lance had officially emerged as clear favorites for the Indian MoD’s HQ Integrated defence Staff (IDS) therefore be series-produced in India by the MoD-owned Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) at extremely cost-effective rates with a high quantum (more than 75%) of indigenised sub-systems and components—an option which no other global competitor had to offer at that time.
However, tragedy struck on March 5, 2012 when the MoD announced that RAD was henceforth barred from doing business with India’s OFB . Thus, RAD was placed on a MoD blacklist, the reason for this being a CBI investigation into allegations of corruption levelled against the then Director General of the OFB, Sudipta Ghosh. And although the trial against Ghosh and his associates is still underway, RAD has still not been charged with any crime in this case.
==========================
TATA was meant to provide platform where as rheinmetall system was meant to be license produce by OFB in India.
A nicer photo of the system …

So, no any radar or optical search.
Only optical tracking with LRF?
Command & radar unit are on separate vehicles, Army use fly catcher radars generally and their are other system made by DRDO which are in tests, a single radar unit guides multiple SPAAG / AAA…
===============
^^ DRDO stuff …
That’s likely an EO pod for engagement …
