To test battle efficiency in a wartime scenario, the Indian Air Force has been conducting the first-ever massive exercise, ‘Live Wire,’ at all its bases since mid-March.
All IAF assets — the legacy systems as well as the latest inductions — are being tested for their competence in the third dimension in a simulated battle scenario. Round-the-clock operations are being carried out in a network-centric environment that provides enhanced situational awareness, monitored by the Integrated Air Command and Control Systems and the AWACS.
Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne has been visiting the bases to review the exercise, meet the Air Warriors involved and assess their performance on the field.
