India controlled its airspace and protected their military bases and strategic assets through an integrated network of air defense systems during ‘Operation Sindoor’, when hundreds of Pakistani drones, missiles and rockets were launched to target Indian military property and civilian infrastructure. The identification, track and neutrality of aerial threats by India’s integrated air defense systems.
India’s Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACS) played an important role in defending the sky. An automated system integrates data from forces to combat air threats.

AFNET – Net – Center for Center for Operations
India’s Integrated Air Defense System – which includes AD systems of the Army, Navy and Air Force – was brought together by the Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACS). Air Marshal Bharti said that IACCS “gave us pure-centered operating capacity, which is important for modern war.”
The network-centered approach to net-centric or warfighting was adopted by the Indian Air Force in 2010 with an induction of the Air Force Network (AFNET). It was revolutionary and formed the basis of IACS. Earlier, the India was using the troposcter communication system, where the Earth’s topography was used to relay radio waves for communication. AFNET changed the 1950 system system, revolutionizing the outlook for war.
Defense Minister AK Antony inaugurated the AFNET system in 2010.
Defense Minister AK Antony then inaugurated the network on 14 September 2010. The government had the ability to support net-syntricular operations by underlining the government’s two-fold objective of network for network for network for network, underlining two-fold objective of network, and state-of-the-art communication infrastructure, and to support the modernization of defense communication with state-of-the-art communication infrastructure.
The AFNET network was tested by a pair of mig-29 fighter jets during an exercise blockage of the enemy goals of the enemy, which is airborne from an airbase in Punjab and neutralizing the goals in the western region was played live on a huge screen in the Auditorium of the Air Force, when the minister and senior officers were present.
“The recent deployment of AFNET, IACCS and other systems has launched the IAF at the forefront of NCW-competent countries. This quantum leap in the field of communication and information technology will help train units and will help develop strategy, technology and processes to feel full benefits of network-capable capabilities.
IACCs – Central Nervous Tantra of Air Space Management
Air Marshal Ak Bharti, Director General of Air Operations, credited the Border Security Force in guarding the efforts of three forces personnel and guarding the sky and layered air defense system, which is controlled by India’s Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACS).
“Our fighting system has stood on the test of time, and takes them to the head. Another highlight has been a great performance of the indigenous air defense system, the sky system. Conducting together and powerful advertising atmosphere, has become possible only due to budgetary and policy support from the Government of India in the last decade,” Air Marshal Bharti said.
The Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACS) was designed by the parents of the Indian Air Force, Akash.
The Directorate of Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACS) was established in 2003 when a requirement arose after identifying problems in India’s battles management. in 1999The first proposal was raised to procure the five IACS system. The group captain Ramamurthy was the first commanding officer of the Directorate of Venkatasubramanian.
The IACCS system rides on the AFNET network, which was launched in 2010. The Air Force Network laid the foundation for the IACCS system to coordinate, integrate and control air defense assets such as AWACS, Drones, and Fighter Aircraft, which to provide status awareness and efficient command and control capacity in air domine.
The system integrates data obtained from a variety of homogeneous and odd radars, and creates reports from observation posts and other assets of the Indian Air Force. Recognized air status picture (RASP) In the Command and Control Center, which gives a real -time photo to the commander of the aircraft, enhances statusal awareness. This helps accelerate the decision and deployment of assets depending on the type of danger. IACCS is a major promoter in India’s air operations.
In 2022, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh saw the functioning of the Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACS) at a radar station of the Indian Air Force.
In 2022, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh visited a radar station in IAF while reviewing the IACC performance.
India’s multi -layered air defense
The multi-level air defense system, as explained through a diagram, shows the counters unmanned aerial system (C-UAS), ACK-ACK-ACK Air Defense Guns like L70, ZSU 23 Shilka, Man Portable Air Defense Systems (Manpads), which constructs an internal layer of air defense for a very low-short-redund aerial target. This is followed by a second layer, including point defense systems that protect a specific area or a asset, short-range-to-air missiles (SAMs) such as Spider, Petra and OSA-AA. The third layer is formed by medium-range SAMs such as Akash and Indo-Israeli MRSAM, and the outer layer for area defense is made by long distance sAMS such as S-400 and fighter jets.
The multi -level air defense system was in action during aerial busyness that began on 8 May. The force is still in a position of high alert.
Director General of Military Operations Lieutenant General Rajiv Gahai used a cricket analogy to emphasize that it was India’s multi-level counter-drain and air defense grid, which worked as a shield against Pakistan’s air strikes, where he talked about the 1970s ash series, when two Australian Fast-Baulers and Dannis Lily Were against Dust to ashes.
Defense systems destroyed Pakistani drones and PL -15 missiles on the nights of 8, 9 and 10 May, preventing them from entering our airspace.
In 2019, this system played an important role during the Indian Air Force aerial attack on Jaba Top in Balakot, Pakistan. The Pakistan Air Force rubbed the jets to retaliate, and one of the F -16 was shot by an Indian MiG -21.
Akashti and ICC integration
India has also integrated the Indian Army’s Akashti Air Defense System, which has been developed with IACCS by Bharat Electronics Limited. During the press briefing, Director General of Military Operations Lt Gen Rajiv Gai displayed a graphic by interpreting India’s multi-level counter-drain and air-defense grid.
Indian Air Force Principle In addition, the importance of integrating two networks is mentioned. Siddhant says that the success of aerial operation depends on a small sensor -to -shoot loop – the moment it is traveled until it is shot – and a sharp ‘Kill chain’.
“This operating data link (ODL), SATCOM and Software is obtained through the grass-based, airborn and spacious integration of the space system,” the principle says.
“Integration of multi-organization/multi-service sensor systems is necessary to achieve initial warnings on time and by providing additional layer and excessive monitoring in range and volume and effectively contributes to strengthening the C2 (command and control) network. For this, AAASTEER (IA Network) and Trigun (IACC network) will require united.”
The Akashty Air Defense System can be integrated with the sky and quick reaction SAM.
The purpose of the airspace control is coordination, no confusion and to reduce fritrickide and increase joint air, sea and land operations, which was visible during operation vermilion.
Akashtier is operated by Army Air Defense Corps (ADC). Around 400 commands and control centers have been ordered by the army, and 107 have been distributed. Akashteer radars information is integrated with IACCS. In January, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said, “To fulfill an convergence between the Indian Air Force and the Army, we are going to the sky and perhaps by the end of the year, we will be due to the integration between two, which is IACCS and Akriter.”
Former Defense Staff chief General Bipin Rawat proposed the idea of setting up the Air Defense Command (ADC) – TRAI -Survis command – which includes air defense property of three forces. This proposal never proceeded due to issues such as rewriting of air defense assets and centralizing the command for a large geographical area.
