The '''Artillery Combat Command and Control System''' ('''ACCCS''')''',''' under '''Project SHAKTI''' ({{Lit|Power}}) is an indigenous, integrated, [[digitized]], networked system developed by the [[Indian Army]]'s Directorate General of Information Systems (Project Management Organization), in partnership with [[Bharat Electronics]], [[Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics|Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics]], and [[Armament Research and Development Establishment]].
It is Indian Army's first Combat Command, Control, and Information (C3I) system. The ACCCS automates and supports decision-making for all operational facets, from the [[corps]] to the level of [[artillery battery]]. It is the central ___location for the [[Regiment of Artillery (India)|Regiment of Artillery]]'s fire power component, which is designed to seamlessly integrate with the C3I grid
The Command Information Decision Support System of the Indian Army, which is a component of the larger Tactical Command, Control, Communications, and Information (Tac C3I) System, is connected to ACCCS.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Katoch (Retd) |first=Lt.

The project has a {{INRConvert|36|b|-2}} price tag as of 2007. According to a report dated 22 November 2007, ACCCS was experiencing technical issues and the project was behind schedule. Help from abroad has been sought to fix it. [[Bharat Electronics|BEL]] denied technical issues and informed about the change in
[[Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics|CAIR]] was responsible for designing and developing the core technology. The development and production of computers and intelligent terminals connected as a [[wide area network]] was the responsibility assigned to BEL. The artillery computer center, battery computer, remote access terminal, and gun display unit are the primary subsystems. Artillery control equipment, guided missile systems, and artillery gun fire control systems are all remotely connected to ACCCS. These systems are then connected to the military headquarters and the commander on the battlefield. The fire control system is developed by [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]] with assistance from [[Rosoboronexport|Rosboronxport]]. The communication control system, guidance systems, and reconnaissance systems make up the ACCCS fire control system. It was anticipated that ACCCS would effectively boost artillery firepower by an estimated five times as a result of automation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Bulbul |date=2007-11-22 |title=INDIAN ARMY’S ACCCS PROJECT DELAYED |url=https://battle-updates.com/update/indian-armys-acccs-project-delayed/ |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=battle-updates.com}}</ref>

=== Project Sanjay ===
In order to complete the sensor-shooter grid by connecting it to the ACCCS, the Indian Army began working with [[Bharat Electronics|BEL]] in partnership with CAIR to design BSS. It facilitated the integration of numerous sensors and establish 60 surveillance centers for the field formations. Sensor data and information are integrated into an all-encompassing system that facilitates prompt decision-making. Extensive validation of BSS was conducted across plains, deserts, and mountains between August and October of 2022. It satisfied Indian Army's expectations with over 95% success rate. The Army field formations along the northern and western borders would receive their deliveries by December 2025, with BEL having been granted the contract. The original development cost was estimated to be {{INRConvert|2700|c|lk=on}} which was later revised to {{INRConvert|2402|c|lk=on}}. It was developed under the Buy (Indian) category.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=Army working on creating battlefield surveillance system for composite operational picture |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/army-working-on-creating-battlefield-surveillance-system-for-composite-operational-picture-1216347.html |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2023-05-09 |title=Project Sanjay: ‘BEL meets Army’s aspirations in entirety’ |url=https://www.defencewatch.in/defence-news/project-sanjay-bel-meets-armys-aspirations-in-entirety |access-date=2025-07-09 |website=Defence Watch |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Peri |first=Dinakar |date=2023-05-05 |title=Army commanders to soon get real-time, comprehensive operational picture through automation initiatives |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/army-commanders-to-soon-get-real-time-comprehensive-operational-picture-through-automation-initiatives/article66817471.ece |access-date=2025-07-09 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
[[Minister of Defence (India)|Minister of Defence]] [[Rajnath Singh]] officially launched it for [[intelligence]], [[surveillance]], and [[reconnaissance]] on 24 January 2025. In order to ensure accuracy, avoid redundancy, and create an integrated surveillance picture for tactical battle, this automated system with dedicated intra-communication aggregates and processes inputs from satellites, helicopters, [[UAVs]], air defense radars, [[Battlefield surveillance radar|battlefield surveillance radars]], [[Counter-battery radar|counter-battery radars]], long-range reconnaissance and observation systems, [[Thermal imager|thermal imagers]], [[Reconnaissance vehicle|reconnaissance vehicles]], and [[patrolling]]. It also looks at depth areas that are 200 kilometers beyond the boundaries. From March to October 2025, it will be incorporated into [[Brigade|brigades]], [[Division (military)|divisions]], and [[corps]]. The system includes a communication control unit, a generator, a monitoring center, and multiple monitoring communication terminals. It is highly mobile. It shows the military's strategic locations in a consolidated web application format. BSS uses [[AI]] [[analytics]] to locate and evaluate the target and sends audio, video, content, and photos over fiber optics and fast and secure [[VHF]], [[High frequency|HF]], and [[UHF]] hybrid networks.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":5" /><ref>{{Cite news |date=24 January 2025 |title=Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh flags-off ‘SANJAY - The Battlefield Surveillance System’ from New Delhi |url=https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2095712 |access-date=9 July 2025 |work=[[Press Information Bureau]] |agency=Ministry of Defence, Government of India}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mohan |first=Vijay |date=24 January 2025 |title=Army’s new Battlefield Surveillance System to boost decision-making capability by integrating information from all sources |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/india/armys-new-battlefield-surveillance-system-to-boost-decision-making-capability-by-integrating-information-from-all-sources/ |access-date=2025-07-09 |website=The Tribune |language=en}}</ref>
