Bhopal, Mar 18 (PTI) Indian Army’s Southern Command conducted ‘Amogh Jwala’, a 13-day exercise aimed at validating its technology-driven mechanised warfare capabilities in a multi-domain operational environment.
The exercise, which began on March 6 at the Babina Field Firing Ranges in Uttar Pradesh, culminated on Wednesday.
Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Command, witnessed the culmination of the exercise and complimented the participating troops for their professionalism, operational excellence and battle readiness, an army release said.
He said tech absorption, jointness and seamless integration of land, air, cyber, space, Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR), and Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities are fundamental to building an agile, adaptable and combat-ready force capable of dominating the evolving battlespace across the full spectrum of multi-domain operations.
The exercise validated new operational concepts, force structures, procedures and protocols relevant to modern warfare. It demonstrated the integrated employment of mechanised forces with Attack Helicopters, Fighter Aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, counter-drone systems and network-enabled battlefield platforms under a robust command and control architecture, the release said.
The exercise featured high-tempo mechanised operations with synchronised fire and manoeuvre, real-time drone-enabled surveillance and target acquisition, precision engagement and seamless integration of advanced battlefield technologies, it said.
Advanced surveillance systems, secure communication networks and precision firepower enhanced battlefield transparency and enabled faster, real-time decision-making, the release said.
Integrated air-land manoeuvres, battlefield airspace management for Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and counter-UAS operations, and reorganised force structures incorporating emerging technologies were also validated during the exercise.
The drills highlighted the effective fusion of electronic warfare, air defence and night-fighting capabilities, alongside intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets, reflecting the growing combat edge of a networked and future-ready force, it said. PTI MAS NP
