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 As per sources from [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defense]], BEL purchased outdated computers from [[Elbit Systems]] as a stopgap, until indigenous development was complete.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

On 20 January 2013, the Indian Army received a new artillery combat and control system dubbed Shakti from BEL to meet the [[network-centric warfare]] requirement. It will be the primary subsystem of TAC-C3I. The improved tactical computer, handheld computer, and gun display unit that make up Shakti are all connected via [[fiber-optic cable]], [[Landline|landlines]], or tactical radio networks. Shakti integrates and automates artillery operating tasks using software that integrates with the [[Global Navigation Satellite System]] and [[Geographic information system|Geographic Information System]]. Shakti's primary responsibilities include calculating trajectories, handling fire requests, managing ammunition, recommending gun deployment locations and observation posts for both offensive and defensive operations, providing ammunition and logistical support on time, and creating task tables, fire plans, and automatic gun program generation. BEL collaborated with the [[DRDO]] to develop the system software. Numerous user assessments, integration testing, verification and validation trials, and a comprehensive field evaluation trial have all been conducted on it.<ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=20 January 2013 |title=BEL delivers new artillery combat system to Army |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/bel-delivers-new-artillery-combat-system-to-army-109061300065_1.html |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20230113172804/https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/bel-delivers-new-artillery-combat-system-to-army-109061300065_1.html |archive-date=2023-01-13 |access-date=2025-07-08 |work=[[Business Standard]] |language=en}}</ref>
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

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 [[Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics|CAIR]] to design Battlefield Surveillance System (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:
[[Minister of Defence (India)|Minister of Defence]] [[Rajnath Singh]] officially launched it on 24 January 2025. In order to ensure accuracy, avoid redundancy, and create an integrated picture for tactical battle, this automated system 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. BSS uses [[AI]] [[analytics]] to locate and evaluate the target and sends audio, video, content, and photos over [[Fiber-optic communication|fiber-optics]] as well as 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
