New Delhi. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visited a premier radar station of the IAF on August 29 and witnessed the functioning of its Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS) that is the backbone of IAF’s march towards network centricity and is a key enabler in operations.
“The system’s capabilities endow its users with an enhanced situational awareness that reduces IAF’s sensor-to-shooter loop. The robust system has redundancies built into its functioning which enable seamless operations between its assets across the country,” the Defence Ministry said.
During his visit, various networked operations conducted at varied locations across the country were demonstrated for the Defence Minister. These included the networked and synergised operations of fighter, transport and remotely piloted aircraft.
He was also briefed about the nuances of peacetime Command & Control functions which include ensuring the air defence of critical areas on a day-to-day basis, as well as during large events.
In his address, the Defence Minister complimented the air warriors for keeping the nations’ skies safe throughout the year.
