Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visited a premier radar station of the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Monday, where he witnessed the functioning of the Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS).
The system is the “backbone” of IAF’s march towards network centricity and is a key enabler in operations. Its capabilities endow the users with an enhanced situational awareness that reduces IAF’s sensor-to-shooter loop. The robust system has redundancies built into its functioning which enables seamless operations between its assets across the country.
During his visit, Singh was shown various networked operations conducted at varied locations across the country. These included the networked and synergised operations of fighter, transport and Remotely Piloted aircraft.
He was also briefed about the nuances of peacetime Command and 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 skies of the nation safe throughout the year.
