Page "Pinaka Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher" Paragraph 32

The Pinaka will be operated in conjunction with the Indian Army's Firefinder radars and indigenously developed BEL Weapon Locating Radar of which 28 are on order.

The Indian Army is networking all its artillery units together with the DRDO's Artillery Command & Control System ( ACCS ), which acts as a force multiplier.

The ACCS is now in series production.

The Pinaka units will also be able to make use of the Indian Army's SATA ( Surveillance & Target Acquisition ) Units which have been beefed up substantially throughout the late 1990s, with the induction of the Searcher-1, Searcher-2 and IAI Heron UAVs into the Indian Army, as well as the purchase of a large number of both Israeli made and Indian made Battle Field Surveillance radars.

These have also been coupled with purchases of the Israeli LORROS ( Long Range Observation and Sighting System ) which is a combination of FLIR / CCD system for long range day / night surveillance.
