New Delhi: The Indian Army has conducted its battlefield transparency by integrating futuristic technologies and hardware through Exercise Narayanastra in West Bengal and Sikkim simultaneously. The massive drill was conducted at the Teesta Field Firing Range in West Bengal and Yongdi Field Firing Range in Sikkim on June 7. The Exercise was aimed to keep a tab on the Chinese ploy across the Line of Actual Control in the Eastern theatre.
General Officer Commanding of Trishakti Corps Lieutenant General Tarun Kumar Aich and other senior Army officers monitored the drill.
The joint integrated exercise was conducted by the Sukana-based Trishakti Corps of the Eastern Command. The Corps said that the purpose of the exercise was "to validate the existing command, control, communication and surveillance architecture including shooter linkages and futuristic concepts developed in-house."
"The exercise showcased a well-networked integrated environment to form an effective and robust grid of surveillance and intelligence acquisition assets" apart from demonstrating "futuristic technologies and hardware, visualised to be employed during the operations to enhance battlefield transparency," it added.
During the exercise, a new concept of Data Fusion and Decision Support Centre — 'TRINETRA' — was also demonstrated. It was aimed to achieve seamless integration and synchronisation of all elements, which further empower the commanders with a high degree of situational awareness. The exercise also highlighted the operational readiness by the fusion of sensors and shooters to aid in the execution of the decision-making process.
