India's Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicles (FICVs) will be equipped with American aerospace company Lockheed Martin's Javelin anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), the company told জেনস Aero India 2023 শোতে, যা বেঙ্গালুরুতে 13 থেকে 17 ফেব্রুয়ারি অনুষ্ঠিত হচ্ছে।

Jagmohan Singh, Lockheed Martin's regional director of India, Maldives, and Sri Lanka told জেনস that the companies developing FICVs for the Indian Army are equipping the vehicles with Javelin.

“The companies such as Tata, Larsen and Toubro (L&T), Mahindra, and ordinance factory boards, which are developing FICVs for the Indian Army have asked for Javelin ATGMs to be equipped on the vehicles,” Singh said.

In January, India's Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, approved the procurement of FICVs for the Indian Army. The Indian Army has been trying to procure FICVs to replace its fleets of Boyevaya Mashina Pyekhoty (BMP)-1 and BMP-2 vehicles.
