Manufacture of BrahMos missile to begin in Lucknow by May-June: Defence Minister
Lauding Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that Uttar Pradesh is witnessing unprecedented development under his leadership.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday visited a premier radar station of the Indian Air Force (AIF), where he witnessed the functioning of the Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS).
According to the Ministry of Defence, the system is the backbone of IAF’s march towards network centricity and is a key enabler in operations.

The system’s capabilities endow its users with an enhanced situational awareness that reduces IAF’s sensor-to-shooter loop. The robust system has redundancies built into its functioning which enable seamless operations between its assets across the country.

In his address, Singh complimented the air warriors for keeping the nation’s skies safe throughout the year.
