  • Defence minister Rajnath Singh handed over the much-awaited indigenously manufactured Future Infantry Soldier as a System (F-INSAS) to the Indian Army.
  • The Army received the latest anti-personnel mine Nipun, Futuristic Infantry Soldier as a System (F-INSAS), the Landing Craft Assault (LCA) as well as a drone system from the defence minister. 
  • These will give the forces an edge in futuristic warfare as well as in battle terrains like Ladakh.
  • The Future Infantry Soldier as a System or F-INSAS is designed to transform the infantry soldier into a ‘self-contained fighting machine’.
  • The Nipun landmines will act as the first line of defence against enemy infantry or tanks or infiltration attempts by terrorists. It was developed by the Pune-based Armament Research and Development Establishment, which is a DRDO facility, along with the Indian industry.
  • The Landing Craft Assault or LCA helps the Army more efficiently mobilise its forces and deploy them across the terrain in eastern Ladakh.
