[The_Sidewinder]

I am seeking latest updates on F-INSAS program. According to schedule, 1st phase should have been implemented by now. Is there any progress at all. I request members to contribute towards this thread with the valuable info at their disposal.
Also at MOD's if there was a similar thread opened in near past, please do marge the threads. Thank You

Latest I've heard- first feild trails of the personal eauipment will begin by the middle of 2014 on a yet to be announced infantry btn. Small scale/squad/platoon trials have already taken place in a limited manner as well as certain elements of the project being trailed by SF units. Certain C4I components of F-INSAS have already been tested in large scale IA exercises for the past 2-3 years and are now being rolled out to the entire IA.


The plan is still for the entire roll out by 2017 and it will take 6+ years to get the entire IA up to scratch.



One cannot underestimate the sheer complexity and scope of this project- it is not going to happen overnight, not by a long stretch

Given the scope, scale and ambitious nature of this project is say that was a given but the results will be well worth it

No news about F-INSAS now. May be stored in cold stores for now.

@Abingdonboy
thanks for the information mate. What happened to our seasoned veteran Sancho. Do you have any news on him?
@sancho missing you mate where are you?
@he-man
even i feel somethings not quite right about the program. No news what so ever in Media or from DRDO.

Ha yaar, no news. Still living in WW 2.

@Unknowncommando
sometimes I wonder if our generals, policy maker and other defence agencies even care about our infentry. Same old WW2 era equipment, same old INSAS, no NVG, no hands free wireless equipment, same low quality bulletproof jackets. My heart goes out to our soldiers. Only the special forces having some modern gear.
