How IAF, Army are moving towards jointness with integration of air defence systems

Army’s Akashteer air defence system has been integrated with Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS) for one site, it is learnt. For other sites, integration is in progress.

During the press conference Monday, Gen Dwivedi also said the Army is looking at procuring VSHORAD (Very Short Range Air Defence System) in the immediate time frame. He added that the Army is working in conjunction with the IAF and that the Advanced Air Defense (AAD) as a whole must be seen as an integrated system.

Gen Dwivedi also said that moving forward, the forces will have to operate air defences together. The Army should control it at the tactical level and the IAF at the operational/strategic level, he said. “As far as radars are concerned, these will be placed jointly by the two and the information will be jointly shared.”

Common systems the Army and IAF operate currently are Medium Range Surface to Air Missile (MRSAM) and the Akash air defence system. The IAF also operates the S-400 which is a long-range missile system. MRSAM has a range of 70 km and Akash of 25 km. The systems include acquisition and tracking radars—Akash is equipped with the Rohini radar, while MRSAM uses the Multi-Functional Search and Target Acquisition Radar (MFSTAR).

Under the integrated air defence umbrella, missiles as well as radars will be integrated.

On why the need for jointness in air defence was felt, sources in the Indian Air Force told ThePrint that jointness of the armed forces was “essential at strategic, operational and tactical level”. They added that it ensured “optimal and finest” utilisation of available air defence resources. The two services, said sources, are currently working on upgrades and establishment of networks for data sharing. With an eye on jointness, armed forces would also get all future air defence inventories interoperable as it supports enhanced interoperability by enabling networking and joint planning—a prerequisite for theatrisation.
