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" /><ref name=":0" />

This is Indian Army's first intelligence, command, and control system. ACCCS provides automation and support for operational decision-making, from the [[corps]] to the [[artillery battery]]. It serves as the nerve centre for [[Regiment of Artillery (India)|Regiment of Artillery]]'s fire power. 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>
