In order to create a Common Surveillance Picture of the battlefield over the secure Army Data Network & Satellite Communication Network, SANJAY, an automated system, combines the inputs from all ground and aerial battlefield sensors, processes them to ensure their accuracy, avoids duplication, and fuses them.
The system provides thorough situational awareness by combining data from aerial platforms and ground sensors.
Network-centric operations, which are essential for contemporary military operations, are what it seeks to enable.
Singh underlined that by utilizing state-of-the-art technology to guarantee efficient surveillance and response capabilities on the battlefield, “SANJAY” has the potential to drastically alter future military operations.
Through a centralized web application that would supply inputs to Command & Army Headquarters and the Indian Army Decision Support System, it will improve battlefield transparency and revolutionize the battlefield of the future.
Modern sensors and advanced analytics are installed in the BSS. It will be a force multiplier in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, monitor the broad land borders, stop invasions, and evaluate circumstances with unmatched accuracy.
In a network-centric environment, this would allow commanders to conduct both conventional and non-conventional operations. The Indian Army will take a remarkable step toward data and network centricity with its implementation.
The Indian Army and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) collaborated to develop SANJAY domestically, fostering an environment that is favorable to the realization of “Atmanirbharta” as a sequel to the
With effect from March to October 2025, which has been designated as the “Year of Reforms” in the Ministry of Defence (MoD), these systems will be implemented in three stages throughout all operational Brigades, Divisions, and Corps of the Indian Army. At a cost of ₹2,402 crore, this system was created under the Buy (Indian) category.
The launch of ‘SANJAY’ is a major milestone in updating India’s defense capabilities to keep up with international military technology breakthroughs.
