ARMY-INDIA 2 LAST

The weapon system should also have image downloading and
transmission capability so that the enemy could be located and
information shared with other troops to enable the commando
take the best position to engage the target, the officer said.

The RFI has sought a response from vendors of the weapon
system by January 30, 2010.
Such weapon systems are already under use by some of the
world's elite special forces and anti-terror units, the
officer added.
"Such weapons are extremely helpful in neutralising the
enemy useful in situations like the Mumbai terror attacks,
when armed terrorists hid inside the rooms of important
landmark buildings such as the five-star hotels," the officer
said.
Under such building cover, the terrorists always have an
upper hand and are in an advantageous position to open fire at
security personnel, who are exposed dangerously," he added.
The Indian Army's RFI comes close on the heels of the
elite National Security Guard (NSG) purchasing the weapon
system, which has a mounted camera that can swivel around to
locate the target sheltered behind or inside buildings. PTI
