The RPAs, categorised as either MALE or HALE, must have a range of about and an operation altitude of. The RPAs also should be equipped with equipment for communication interception, weapons jamming and NBC detection with capability for Direction of Own Artillery Fire.
- The TPCR also outlines the requirement of stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicles with a service life of over 20 years. The Army and Air Force are expected operate between 90–100 and 40–50 stealth UCAVs, respectively. The UCAV is expected to achieve supersonic speeds with supercruise and low observability capabilities. The internal weapons payload is expected within a range of and should be compatible with both air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. The UCAVs should exhibit Manned-Unmanned Teaming including loyal wingman role. The system should feature an AI-driven programmable flight profile with advanced avionics, LPI radar, EO/IR/SWIR targeting, secure low-latency SATCOM/B-LOS and LOS links, conformal defensive stores, and autonomous aerial refueling. It must also achieve a service ceiling of at least 15 km while supporting offensive and defensive manoeuvres. The DRDO is developing its DRDO Ghatak on the same lines.
- On 29 December 2025, the Defence Acquisition Council cleared the Indian Army proposal to procure 850 loitering munitions with launchers worth from Indian sources. The munitions will equip the Shaktibaan regiments and Divyastra batteries of the Indian Army Regiment of Artillery. This is part of an overall procurement of 30,000 such munitions to equip all three defence forces as well as special forces.
Vehicles- The army needs 3,000 light support vehicles and 1,600 heavy motor vehicles for mounting rockets and radar, and for reconnaissance and transportation, at a cost of Rs 15 billion.
- Indian Army has issued a requirement of 650 6×6 High Mobility Vehicles with material handling crane for ammunition and heavy equipment transportation in mountainous terrains.
- On 23 June 2021, the Indian Army issued an RFI for about 2,000 Gun Towing Vehicles for towing 155 mm Medium Artillery Guns. The GTVs should have a towing capacity of 20 tonnes along with a payload capacity of 8 tonnes to carry ammunition, stores and gun crew across all terrains.
- In July 2022, an RFI was issued for the procurement of 800 Light Armoured Multipurpose Vehicle including two variants, namely, Version 1 and Version 2. through a "single-stage, two-bid system" and the quantity has to be delivered within 36 months of contract singing at 300 LAMVs per year. The vehicles will equip the Reconnaissance & Surveillance Platoons of Mechanised Infantry and Recce Troops of Armoured Corps for Reconnaissance and Surveillance operations. By design, the LAMV has to be a modular 4×4 vehicle with seating for four troops including driver along with 360° gun hatches mounted with 7.62 MAG and a detachable plate with STANAG Level 1 protection to cover the frontal 120° arc.
