The Indian Army has strategically issued a Request for Information (RFI) to procure 54 sets of Inflatable Mock- Up Bridges, enhancing its battlefield deception capabilities. These mock-ups are designed to closely replicate the Ponton Modular System (PMS) Bridge, rendering them nearly indistinguishable from the real structure under varying conditions, which will significantly complicate enemy reconnaissance efforts. The focus on detailed thermal and infrared signature mimicry indicates a proactive adaptation to modern warfare technologies. By deploying these inflatable decoys, the Indian Army aims to safeguard genuine assets while misleading adversaries, thereby protecting operational integrity along its critical northern and western borders.
