A project sanction order has been issued as of 2022 for the development of high frequency [[software-defined radio]] (HFSDR) under Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 (Make II category). The Indian Army plans to acquire 300 HFSDRs. It will enable long-distance radio communication and [[GIS]]-based [[blue force tracking]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=4 November 2022 |title=Indian Army Approves Five make II Projects Providing Impetus to “Atma Nirbhaarta” |url=https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1873674 |access-date=9 July 2025 |work=[[Press Information Bureau]] |agency=Ministry of Defence, Government of India.}}</ref> As part of the Year of Transformation 2023, the Indian Army is updating the ACCCS with new situational awareness modules and extremely realistic defense series maps.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=2023-05-12 |title=Indian Army gears up to overhaul its network-centric battlefield, military logistics projects |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/business/defence-indian-army-gears-up-to-overhaul-its-network-centric-battlefield-military-logistics-projects-3085063/ |access-date=2025-07-09 |website=The Financial Express |language=en}}</ref>
=== Battlefield Management System ===▼
The Directorate General of Information Systems initiated the Battlefield Management System (BMS) project for [[Command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance|command, control, communications, computers & intelligence]] (C4I) in battalions and integrated battle groups (IBGs). It included combat vehicles, a tactical computer at Battle Group Headquarters, and a tactical handheld computer for individual soldiers. The system will generate common operational picture for [[Infantry Battalion|infantry battalions]], [[Indian Army Armoured Corps|armored units]], [[Mechanised Infantry Regiment|mechanized column]], and [[Special forces of India|special forces]] using [[Software-defined radio|SDRs]], [[GIS]], and [[GNSS]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nijjar |first=Maj Gen KS |date=2020-02-09 |title=C4ISR : A Case for Reviving the BMS Project |url=https://imrmedia.in/c4isr-a-case-for-reviving-the-bms-project/ |access-date=2025-07-10 |website=IMR |language=en-US}}</ref>▼
When Battlefield Management System (BMS) was first proposed in the early 2000s, it was planned to be deployed between 2013 and 2017. After it was approved by the Defence Acquisition Council in 2011. An integrated project management study and [[expression of interest]] were completed by February 2015. Two consortia, [[Bharat Electronics]]-[[Rolta]] and [[Tata Power SED]]-[[Larsen & Toubro]], were found eligible as development partners. The [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defence]] tasked these two consortia in February 2016 to develop prototypes that might lead to the purchase of 600 units of BMS at an estimated cost of ₹40,000 and 50,000 crore.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Katoch |first=Lt Gen Prakash |date=2020-07-15 |title=Whither Army’s TacC3I System? |url=https://indiandefencereview.com/whither-armys-tacc3i-system/ |access-date=2025-07-09 |website=indiandefencereview.com |language=en-US}}</ref>▼
