The '''Artillery Combat Command and Control System''' ('''ACCCS''')''',''' under '''Project SHAKTI''' ({{Lit|Power}}) is an indigenous, integrated, [[digitized]], networked [[command and control]] ([[C4I]]) platform 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, and Armament Research and Development Establishment.<ref name=":8" />
It is the first Combat Command, Control, and Information system used by the Indian Army. All operational decision-making, from the [[corps]] to the [[artillery battery]] level, is automated and supported by the ACCCS. It serves as the focal point for the fire power component of the [[Regiment of Artillery (India)|Regiment of Artillery]]. On June 12, 2009, the ACCCS was handed over to [[Lieutenant general (India)|Lieutenant General]] KR Rao, [[List of serving generals of the Indian Army#Heads of Combat and Combat Support Arms|Director General of Artillery]], and [[General (India)|General]] [[Deepak Kapoor]], [[Chief of the Army Staff (India)|Chief of the Army Staff]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=12 June 2009 |title=SHAKTI dedication to Indian Army |url=https://www.pib.gov.in/newsite/erelcontent.aspx?relid=49161 |access-date=8 July 2025 |work=[[Press Information Bureau]] |agency=Ministry of Defence, Government of India.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Artillery Combat Command Control System (ACCCS) |url=https://bel-india.in/product/artillery-combat-command-control-system-acccs/ |access-date=8 July 2025 |website=Bharat Electronics Limited}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-06-20 |title=Modernization of India's Artillery Regiment |url=https://www.lifeofsoldiers.com/2019/06/20/%ef%bb%bfmodernisation-of-indias-artillery-regiment/ |access-date=2025-08-06 |website=Life of Soldiers |language=en-US}}</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" />
All [[Fire-control system|fire-control systems]] had to be compatible with Project SHAKTI, as required by the Indian Army's directive for artillery units using mounted gun systems, as per 2021 [[request for information]] proposal.<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 MBRL]] is being integrated with the ACCCS, along with the newly inducted [[Howitzer|howitzers]].<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |last=Prasad |first=Lt.
