  • Netcentric under 11th/12th plan

    Meet Lance-Naik Ram Bhagat Rai of the Maratha Light Infantry.

    That’s right. That ain’t no Yank from the banks of the Tigris in Iraq.

    A figment of General Joginder Jaswant Singh’s fertile imagination, this graphic was displayed by the army chief at the conclusion of the commanders’ conference and the second conclave of former chiefs.


    New Delhi, Oct 18 (PTI): Top armed forces commanders, meeting here on Monday, are finalising concrete plans to speed up the process of turning them into a network-centric force for rapid deployment.

    To create a network-centric Army and Air Force was the main thrust at the week-long top Commanders conference of the Army and IAF, which opened on Monday, as the top brass asserted that India had to catch up with advancement made in the field by the Western Armies.

    The Navy, which has already rolled in the network-centric warfare preparations, will be taking stock of the progress when its commanders meet here from Wednesday.

    Naval Chief Admiral Arun Prakash has recently said that Navy had advanced plans to have the coverage of entire Indian Ocean region by using satellite and land-based receiver platforms to interlink armament, intelligence and communication set ups of the warship flotilla whether in mid-ocean or on shore.

    Addressing the commanders, Air Chief S P Tyagi said "the IAF now has to look towards meeting the vision of strategic reach and focus has to be directed towards network-centric operations".

    Top army commanders also meeting here are to give final touches to an anti-insurgency doctrine as well as to focus on modernisation of the force and making it "leaner".

    Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee would address the commanders at a combined meeting on Thursday.

    The conference chaired by Army Chief Gen J J Singh reviewed the operational situation in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly measures to be taken to guard against terrorists trying to infiltrate taking advantage of unsettled conditions caused by the recent devastating quake.

    Singh emphasised the threat of terrorism to global peace, its transnational impact and evolving capability and reach, official sources said.

    He also highlighted the negative influence of growing fundamentalism and increasing threat of instability it brought in the regional context.

    Dwelling on the operational anti-insurgency environment, Singh said the improvement in situation in Jammu and Kashmir and in North-East was brought about due to present attrition ratio of 7.5, which he said was the best achieved since 1994.

    The Army Chief said the forces strategy of "iron fist and velvet glove" coupled with surgical strikes against terrorists by avoiding collateral damage was showing encouraging results.

    Singh also said the Government proposed to go ahead with the decision to raise additional Territorial army (home and hearth) battalions both for Jammu and Kashmir and the North-East.

    At the meeting, the Army Chief complimented his formation commanders for "prompt action" in providing relief and succor to the recent victims of the devastating quake in Jammu and Kashmir.

    The army commanders would also deliberate on the deteriorating law and order situation in the North-East and efforts to shore up the peace process in the region.

    According to official sources, the conference would also focus on enhancing the training of army personnel on information technology and to quicken the pace of movement towards the network-centric warfare.

    The commanders would validate an indigenous command, control, communication and intelligence system built for the futuristic battlefield. The new system has already been tested in war games conducted by the Western Army Command.

    we are going foot though deploying netcentric among the soldiers is very costly as its over million but in 10 years some very good numbers we will see.
    with the launch of new satellites within next 1 year... gslv/cartosat -2.
