The Indian Army has issued a Request for Information to procure 2,715 logistics drones for forward posts, including areas along the Line of Control and Line of Actual Control. The proposed systems would support last-mile supplies and reduce reliance on helicopters and foot-based resupply. The drones would operate at low, medium and high altitudes, including up to 20,000 feet. Requirements include operation in extreme temperatures, GPS and NavIC navigation, obstacle detection, thermal imaging, anti-jamming measures and identification features. The RFI does not confirm procurement, costs or timelines. The Army has also held drone trials and technology events in Ladakh.
