How will it help?
“By digitizing the entire process, Akashteer promises to usher in unprecedented levels of efficiency and integration. In sync with the Indian Army’s vision for technological advancement, 2024 has been earmarked as the “Year of Tech Absorption,” sources said.
This strategic focus underscores India’s commitment to embracing niche technologies and systems to bolster its defence capabilities. The induction of Akashteer Control Centres stands as a cornerstone achievement in this journey of transformation, catering to both present exigencies and future challenges in air defence operations.
Adding, “At the heart of Akashteer lies its ability to seamlessly integrate radar and communication systems into a cohesive network. This holistic approach translates into enhanced situational awareness, enabling swift response to hostile threats while mitigating the risk of friendly fire incidents.”
Moreover, Akashteer’s emphasis on mobility and resilience ensures operational readiness even in the most adverse conditions, bolstering India’s defence posture.
With Akashteer at the helm, India inches closer to realizing complete automation of air defence operations. This milestone not only signifies technological prowess but also underscores India’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding its airspace.
