Rajnath Singh flags-off Sanjay Battlefield Surveillance System

Rajnath Singh flags-off Sanjay Battlefield Surveillance System

New Delhi, Jan 24 (UNI) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday, flagged-off ‘Sanjay - The Battlefield Surveillance System (BSS)’ from South Block here.

Sanjay is an automated system which integrates the inputs from all ground and aerial battlefield sensors, processing them to confirm their veracity, preventing duplication and fusing them to produce a common surveillance picture of the battlefield over secured Army data network and satellite communication network, a Defence Ministry statement said.

It will enhance battlefield transparency and transform the future battlefield through a centralised web application which will provide inputs to Command and Army Headquarters, and the Indian Army Decision Support System.

The BSS is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and cutting-edge analytics. It will monitor the vast land borders, prevent intrusions, assess situations with unparalleled accuracy and prove to be a force multiplier in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. This would enable commanders to operate in both conventional and sub-conventional operations in a network centric environment. Its induction will be an extraordinary leap towards data and network centricity in the Indian Army.

Sanjay has been indigenously and jointly developed by the Indian Army and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) creating a conducive ecosystem towards achieving ‘Aatmanirbharta’ as a follow up to the Indian Army’s ‘Year of Technology Absorption’.

These systems will be inducted to all operational Brigades, Divisions and Corps of the Indian Army in three phases from March to October of 2025, which has been declared as ‘Year of Reforms’ in the Ministry of Defence. This system has been developed under the Buy (Indian) category at a cost of Rs 2,402 crore.

Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh, Secretary (Defence Production) Sanjeev Kumar, Chairman & Managing Director, BEL Manoj Jain and other officials were present on the occasion.
