Through this drill, the Army sent a clear message to neighbouring countries China and Pakistan: It is fully prepared to respond to any suspicious activity along the border.
Real-Time Battlefield-Like Environment
The Ministry of Defence stated that the drill was conducted in realistic war-like conditions. It comprised an electronic warfare environment and a multi-domain operation setup. Coordination among ground and air resources was established through command-and-control centres. Response tactics were then tested. Its objective was to prepare the Army for the next-gen battlefield and evaluate its capabilities.
Drone vs. Drone Technology Confrontation
The two-day exercise tested the fundamentals of drone and counter-drone operations. Held near India's border with the desert, the exercise examined emerging aerial threats and tested the effectiveness of surveillance, jamming and response systems.
Indigenous Technology and Joint Operations
Air Coordination-II also established coordination among several branches of the Indian Army. Indigenous technologies and systems were tested in field-level operations. This exercise is a crucial step in further refining tech-enabled operations in border areas.
Army Statement
Lieutenant General Dheeraj Seth, GOC-in-Chief of Southern Command, praised the success of the exercise. He said that it will significantly help the Indian Army in rapidly integrating drone and counter-drone systems. This demonstrates the Indian Army's readiness to adopt modern technology in a multi-domain battlefield.
