MORDENISATION OF INDIAN ARMY F INSAS….
The F-INSAS program[edit]
F-INSAS has been taken up to equip Indian infantry with advanced weaponry, communication network and instant access to information on the battlefield.[1] This program is similar to the future soldier programs of other nations. F-INSAS includes a fully networked all-terrain, all-weather personal-equipment platform, enhanced firepower and mobility for the digitalised battlefield of the future.[2] The weight carried by soldiers will need to be reduced by at least 50%.[3]
The fully integrated Infantry of tomorrow will be equipped with mission-oriented equipment integrated with his buddy soldier team, the sub-unit, as also the overall C4I2 (Command, Control, Communications Computers, Information and Intelligence) system.[4]
Timeline[edit]
In the first phase, to be completed by 2015,[1] the infantry soldier will be equipped with a modular weapon system that will have multi-functions.[1]
The Indian Army intends to modernise its entire 465 infantry and paramilitary battalions by 2020 with this program.
F-INSAS equipment[edit]
The intention is to equip the soldier[5] to ensure a dramatic increase in his lethality, survivability and mobility while making the soldier "a self-contained fighting machine".[6]
Core systems[edit]
Helmet and visor[edit]
The bullet-proof helmet, capable of stopping a 9mm round at close range, contains a mounted flash light, thermal sensors, a night vision capability, a digital compass, video cameras, a computer, nuclear, biological and chemical sensors, and an audio headset. The visor is intended to be integrated and to act as a heads-up display monitor equivalent to two 17-inch computer monitors.
Clothing[edit]
The personal clothing of this soldier of the future would be lightweight with a bullet-proof jacket. The jacket would be non-flammable, waterproofed yet breathable. The new attire will enable him to carry extra loads and resist the impact of nuclear,
