ACCCS performs tactical fire control, fire planning, deployment management to achieve maximum fire densities at important regions, operational logistics management, and technical control based on time and position accuracy. It can deliver hits at key locations with concentrated firepower and concentrate artillery firepower at the tactical scale.<ref name=":0" /> It is one of the most efficient operational information systems in the Indian Army, which is constantly being enhanced.'''<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2023-05-06 |title=Army working on mega surveillance system to get real time operational pictures |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/army-working-on-creating-battlefield-surveillance-system-for-composite-operational-picture-2375770-2023-05-06 |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref>''' The updated tactical computer, the gun display unit, and the handheld computer are manufactured by Bharat Electronics.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2009-06-09 |title=Army to induct first network-centric artillery system |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/latest-news/army-to-induct-first-networkcentric-artillery-system/ |access-date=2025-07-09 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>
 
As of 2007, the project's estimated cost was {{INRConvert|36|b|-2}}. A report from November 22, 2007, stated that ACCCS was having technical problems and that the project was running behind schedule. Foreign assistance has been sought to fix it. [[Bharat Electronics|BEL]] denied technical problems and disclosed that the Indian Army had changed the quality criteria for computers and other subsystems in the middle. According to [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defense]] sources, BEL bought old computers from [[Elbit Systems]] as a temporary measure until local development was finished, for which the Indian Army requested upgrades. The conceptual framework for Project SHAKTI was the U.S. [[Army Battle Command System]] provided conceptual framework for Project SHAKTI.<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>
 
It was [[Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics|CAIR]] that designed and developed the foundational technology. BEL was given the task of developing and manufacturing computers and intelligent terminals that were connected as a [[wide area network]]. The main subsystems are the gun display unit, remote access terminal, battery computer, and artillery computer center. ACCCS is remotely connected to artillery control equipment, guided missile systems, and artillery gun fire control systems. The battlefield commander and military headquarters are then linked to these systems. With help from [[Rosoboronexport|Rosboronxport]], the [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]] developed the fire control system. The ACCCS fire control system consists of three components: reconnaissance, guidance, and communication control. The automation of ACCCS effectively increased artillery firepower of Indian Army by five fold.<ref name=":6" />
