Defence Minister flags off Battlefield Surveillance System SANJAY

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh yesterday flagged off Battlefield Surveillance System SANJAY in New Delhi. This surveillance system will enhance battlefield transparency and transform the future battlefield as it is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and cutting-edge analytics. It will be inducted into the Indian Army in three phases starting from March this year.

An automated system SANJAY integrates inputs from ground and aerial battlefield sensors and produces a common surveillance picture of the battlefield. It will help in monitoring the vast land borders, prevent intrusions, and assess situations with unparalleled



accuracy. 

According to the Defence Ministry, it proves 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 a big 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. This system has been developed for two thousand 402 crore rupees. Battlefield Surveillance System SANJAY will be a key attraction during the upcoming Republic Day parade on Kartvya Path.
