New Delhi 29 Aug.,The Raksha Mantri, Mr Rajnath Singh today visited a premier radar station
of the IAF, 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. 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.
During
his visit, the RM was demonstrated 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 & 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 RM complimented the air warriors for keeping the nations’ skies safe throughout
the year.
