NEW DELHI, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- The Indian Air Force (IAF) said
Wednesday that it is to launch a modern and reliable digital
information grid on Sept. 14, which would enable faster response to any
threat.
The AFNET will replace the IAF's old communication network set- up in use since 1950s.
"This monumental achievement also marks the successful clearance of a milestone for release of radio spectrum, a very valuable but finite resource.
IAF has taken up a mandate to create and maintain an assured, dedicated, secure and inter-operable communication network along with associated services to provide real time, instantaneous transfer of information between Sensors, Command and Control (C2) centers and Shooters," the release said.
It added that the Indian Defense Minister A.K. Antony will launch the AFNET services in the capital at the presence of Telecom Minister A. Raja.
