India plans major procurement of Night Vision sight for Troops in Kashmir.
The Indian Army has planned a major procurement to purchase 13,000 night sight thermal imaging devices for AK-47 rifles and 14,000 autogated night sight image intensifiers via global tender.
The army's anti-militancy operations in J&K is being severely affected by poor battery life of hand-held thermal imagers. Poor battery life of hand-held thermal images (HHTI) is restricting the army's ability to conduct night operations in Jammu & Kashmir and also affecting the Morale of soldiers.
Army chief Rawat said the Army is fighting a "dirty war" in Kashmir and that innovative ways to combat insurgents are needed.
Autogated night sight image intensifier tubes for AK-47s will improve aiming capabilities for 7.62X39 mm calibers from 100 meters to 500 meters.
The image intensifier tubes should detect human targets at a distance of minimum of 100 meters under starlit night conditions without moonlight.
