Indian Air Force has issued a Request For Information (RFI) for 560 units of Long Range Guidance kit with Warhead that may further increase to 1500 units, which are used against soft targets such as bridges, roads, communication centers, and hard targets such as bunkers and underground facilities which are located deep inside enemy territory.

The Long-Range Guidance Kits (LRGK) with warheads will be installed on fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) using a standard suspension system. RFI seeks that LRGK should be compatible with Rafale, LCA Tejas, and Mirage-2000 aircraft, and aircraft carrier-based present and future fighter aircraft on Indian Navy for the drop from the cleared bomb racks for carriage of bombs of 250 kg caliber on all feasible stations of the aircraft.
