Two day seminar to help build tactical communication system

A two day seminar on “Converged Info-structure for a Transformed Force”, organised by the Corps of Signals was held at Manekshaw Centre in early December for brain-storming to work out Tactical Battlefield Communication system (TCS). Inaugurating the seminar, Minister of State for Defence, Mr. M M Pallam Raju, said, “TCS is being progressed under the ‘Make’ category and provides the Indian Industry an excellent opportunity to seek its share of defence production”. The Army Chief General VK Singh, in his address said that the battle space is slowly but surely shifting from Platform Centric to Network Centric Warfare. “A strong, robust and secure information grid is therefore, a prerequisite for this. The information grid must always act as a force multiplier and an enabler for the soldier as well as the Commander in the battlefield”, he said.
