India seeks carbines to boost future soldier programme
India's Ministry of Defence (MoD) issued a global tender at the end of April for 43,318 close quarter battle (CBQ) carbines to bolster its F-INSAS (Future Infantry Soldier as a System) programme.
The request for proposals (RfP) for the 'open calibre' carbines is valued at around INR44 billion (USD1.1 billion) and was dispatched to European, Israeli and US manufacturers.
The RfP covers night-vision devices, laser designators and detachable under-barrel grenade launchers.
