The Indian Army has commenced the induction of the indigenous Akashteer system,<\/strong> marking a significant advancement in its air defence capabilities. This automated air defence control and reporting system, developed by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL),<\/strong> aims to integrate the army\u2019s air defence units for enhanced operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Features of Akashteer System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Integrated Operations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Akashteer enables seamless integration of radar and communication systems, fostering a                unified network for comprehensive situational awareness and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Enhanced Mobility and Resilience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      With vehicle-based control centers, the system ensures operational capabilities even in                 challenging communication environments, emphasizing mobility and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Automation of Air Defence Operations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        By digitizing the entire process, Akashteer facilitates complete automation of air defence              operations, thereby significantly enhancing India\u2019s air defence posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Significance in Military Transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The induction of Akashteer aligns with the Indian Army\u2019s \u201cYear of Tech Absorption,\u201d <\/strong>reflecting a crucial milestone in its path towards transformation. This system not only meets current requirements but also addresses futuristic needs for complex air defence operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Supporting Atmanirbharta Drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        As part of the ongoing atmanirbharta (self-reliance) drive, the army plans to establish specialized Army Design Bureau (ADB)<\/strong> cells at various command headquarters. This organizational restructuring aims to facilitate the absorption of niche technology for capability development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Ensuring Operational Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Akashteer\u2019s deployment will enable the army to monitor low-level airspace over battle areas effectively. By controlling ground-based air defence weapon systems, it enhances operational efficiency, swift engagement of hostile targets, and reduces the risk of fratricide while ensuring the safety of friendly aircraft in contested airspace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
