Network Centricity Comes to Fore in Sudarshan Shakti
Exercise
SUDARSHAN SHAKTI, a joint exercise of Southern Army and South Western Air
Command has entered its crucial phase. The training was progressively
structured to build on from the smallest unit upwards and today it is the
entire Southern Army, which is being put through its paces in a simulated
battlefield environment. In this overall effort, Network Centric Warfare (NCW)
is one of the crucial aspects being validated.
The endeavour
has been to validate and integrate the use of all available assets, including
Satellites, UAVs and HUMINT to assist commanders in taking dynamic and
proactive operational action in a fluid battlefield. Another important facet
being validated is the real-time sensor-to-shooter loop, which enables
commanders to take instant decisions even as information is shared among
platforms and personnel to order the weapons to be deployed. Network Centric
Warfare provides shared information of the battle space among armed forces and
is an integral part of the ongoing transformational studies. [PIB Report].
