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 qualitative requirements in the middle for computers and other subsystems by the Indian Army. As per sources from [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defense]], BEL purchased outdated computers from [[Elbit Systems]] as a stopgap, until indigenous development was complete. For which, the Indian Army wanted the upgrade. The American [[Army Battle Command System]] served as the foundation for Project SHAKTI.<ref name=":6" />
[[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 name=":6">{{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>
According to the Indian Army's mandate for artillery units to deploy Mounted Gun Systems, the 2021 [[request for information]] proposal stipulated that the [[Fire-control system|fire control system]] must be compatible with Project SHAKTI.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2021-04-03 |title=Unsuccessful For 20 Years, Indian Army Again Hunts For Mounted Gun System For Artillery Units |url=https://www.eurasiantimes.com/after-repeated-failures-indian-army-floats-fresh-rfi-for-155-52-caliber-artillery-guns/ |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=eurasiantimes.com |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher|Pinaka]] and the recently inducted howitzers are being integrated with the ACCCS.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Prasad |first=Lt.
