Rajnath Singh flags off USD 278.42 million surveillance system SANJAY

| @indiablooms | Jan 24, 2025, at 02:01 pm

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh flagged off ‘SANJAY - The Battlefield Surveillance System (BSS)’ from South Block, New Delhi on Friday.

What is SANJAY?

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 a secured Army Data Network & Satellite Communication Network, read a statement issued by the Indian government.

It will enhance battlefield transparency and transform the future battlefield through a Centralised Web Application which will provide inputs to Command & Army Headquarters, and the Indian Army Decision Support System.

The BSS is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and cutting-edge analytics.

How will it help border monitoring?

It will monitor the vast land borders, prevent intrusions, assess situations and is believed to prove to be a force multiplier in Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance, as per a release issued by the Indian government.

This would enable commanders to operate in both conventional & 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 & 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 & Corps of the Indian Army in three phases w.e.f. March to October of 2025, which has been declared as ‘Year of Reforms’ in the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

This system has been developed under the Buy (Indian) category at a cost of Rs 2,402 crore (USD 278.42 million).
