INTEGRATED SURVEILLANCE AND FIREPOWER TRAINING CONDUCTED IN HIGH-ALTITUDE ARTILLERY RANGES IN EASTERN THEATRE
An integrated surveillance and firepower training Exercise BULAND BHARAT was conducted in the recently operationalized longest High Altitude Artillery Ranges of Eastern Theatre.
Exercise BULAND BHARAT involved the synergized application of surveillance and firepower capabilities of the Artillery and the Infantry in close coordination with Special Forces, Aviation and Central Armed Police Forces deployed in West Kameng and Tawang districts of Arunachal Pradesh.
The exercise validated plans for bringing down integrated firepower by orchestrating synchronized firing by artillery guns and fire support components of Infantry, aimed toward the destruction of designated targets.
The month-long training culminated in the test exercise in which troops and equipment were tested in simulated war conditions in high altitude areas and extreme weather conditions during which synergized surveillance and firepower from Infantry and Artillery radars, weapon systems, and direction of fire from air were practiced. Uninterrupted communication on multiple media was also tested at long distances.
