- The Indian Army is working on a number of key tech-driven projects, including a battlefield surveillance system and another initiative that will bring in “multi-domain spatial awareness” on a single GIS platform.
- Among these projects is the Army’s Battlefield Surveillance System or ‘Project Sanjay’.
- The Project seeks to create a number of surveillance centres for the field formations.
- Project Sanjay’ will enable the integration of a “large number of sensors” and a provision to enable an integrated surveillance picture to commanders and staff at all levels, besides completing the sensor-shooter grid by integrating it with the ACCCS (Artillery Combat Command and Control and Communication System).
- The Army’s Combat Information Decision Support System (CIDSS) has been re-designed as the Army Information and Decision Support System (AIDSS), which will integrate inputs from all operational and managerial information systems.
