C4I2SR for Indian Army: The Cost Effective System

In the light of India emerging as a leader in the IT and communication fields, efforts must be made to optimally exploit available expertise to develop an appropriate C4I2SR system with innovative technology to the Indian Army. To envision technical concepts from tactical and operational perspectives is, therefore, a critical necessity, especially in the context of the transformation process that is now under way in the Army. This study gives an incisive analysis of the military requirements in the present and futuristic battlefield milieu, likely to obtain in varied sectors/terrain of the country, as also of the contemporary IT and communication technologies available in the civil and commercial domains. It offers practically implementable solutions and merits cognizance at appropriate levels for its incorporation in the contemporary transformational matrix. The work is indeed a remarkable contribution to this field of research in India.
