Delhi-based Blackstone Tactical launched the DART-X P Remote Controlled Weapon System (RCWS) on December 4, 2025, a lightweight platform under 20kg optimized for standard 7.62mm rifles, enabling precise fire from sheltered positions on light vehicles, UGVs, or fortifications. This indigenous innovation, fused with next-gen AI for rapid targeting and response, enhances operator safety and tactical agility in high-threat border patrols and urban ops, aligning with Atmanirbhar Bharat’s self-reliance push. From an Indian security lens, it bolsters infantry firepower amid LAC tensions, reduces personnel exposure to enemy fire, and positions India for exports to allies, outpacing heavier foreign systems in Himalayan terrains. No major updates emerged December 5-7, but trials could accelerate Army integration.
