IAF setting up secure network

 
 Published : June 2009
 
 
 

The Indian Air Force is creating a robust and secure network system to link all its aircraft and other assets.

Air Chief Marshal P V Naik told India Strategic that “all IAF sensors and assets will be plugged into this network, providing relevant data at different levels.”

“Primarily, he said, “it is the efficient integration of all our assets, along with intelligent exploitation of the capability so provided, that will enable us to compress our decision cycle and reduce our sensor-toshoter loop.

The Air Chief said that force multiplication is best possible with integration of all assets from aircraft, AWACS, and other airborne and ground assets for real time connectivity and deployment.

IAF is reported to have completed 100 of nearly 160 nodes in this regard.
