Battlefield management system (BMS) is a system meant to integrate information acquisition and processing to enhance command and control of a military unit.〔Carl W. Lickteig Technical report "Design Guidelines and Functional Specifications for Simulation of the Battlefield Management System's (BMS) User Interface", JUL 1988, Accession Number ADA201189 ()〕 As an example of modern combat force Pakistan Army has been using integrated battlefield management system called PAK-IBMS (Rehbar).〔() Battlefield Management System〕 In an important development, two consortia of Indian companies have been given the project to develop a “Battlefield Management System” (BMS). This project, believed to be worth Rs. 40,000-50,000 crore, is believed to be Indian Army’s biggest project ever. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) on 25 February 2015 instructed the consortia – one consisting of BEL and Rolta India, and the other of Tata Power SED and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) – to register “special purpose companies” for this project. Each of these development agencies, will separately develop a working BMS. The MoD will reimburse 80% of the development cost. The BMS consists of a wireless network that links digital devices carried by combat soldiers, interlinking them, their commanders and a range of battlefield sensors. This provides a common battle picture to each individual. The MoD has moved unusually fast in the BMS contract, which industry sees as evidence of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s seriousness in pushing indigenisation. The MoD issued a tender – or expression of interest – in November 2013, to which four consortia responded in April 2014. Since then, it has taken only 10 months to select the winners. This initiative is also being seen as a strong intention of the NDA government to provide a defence boost to ‘Make in India’. == References == 〔 http://currentaffairs.nirdeshak.com/28-february-2015-current-affairs/ 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battlefield management system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
