# Army Seeks Information on 2,715 Logistics Drones for High-Altitude Posts 2026-08-06T14:18:26+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Indian Army has issued a Request for Information for 2,715 logistics drones to deliver supplies to forward posts along the Line of Control and Line of Actual Control. The proposed systems would operate at altitudes of up to 20,000 feet and in extreme temperatures, using GPS and NavIC navigation, obstacle detection, thermal imaging and anti-jamming measures. The RFI does not confirm a purchase, cost or delivery schedule. The Army has also conducted drone trials and technology events in Ladakh. Hindustan Times says India’s reported $2-billion drone commitment must be matched by faster procurement and upgrade systems. It points to rapidly changing small-drone technology and recommends long-term service contracts that allow hardware and software upgrades without fresh tenders. The Army reportedly wants 30,000 drones and one lakh trained operators within a year. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: high-altitude posts, Indian Army, Line of Actual Control, Line of Control, logistics drones Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/army-seeks-information-on-2715-logistics-drones-for-high-altitude-posts/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
