India is acquiring the Litening 4 I version which comes with upgraded infrared cameras and a charge-coupled device color camera that can better pick up targets in dense areas.

The 4 I pod can double as surveillance and reconnaissance system for all four types of Indian frontline fighters slated to be integrated with it.
