IAF monitoring centre near Chennai by 2004
[Intelligence Online, 18 August 2003]
The Indian Air Force will set up a monitoring centre near Chennai to track incoming missiles and aircraft, detect underwater activities, and intercept communication signals within a range of two-thousand kilometres. Mooted by the former IAF Chief, Air Marshal A.Y. Tipnis, the monitoring centre is the outcome of the on-going defence integration process and is expected to be operational in 2004. Sources say that the IAF has got the government nod to import state-of-the-art equipment and technology from the US and Israel for the Chennai monitoring centre. Defence intelligence agencies claim that unidentified foreign submarines have entered into Indian waters in the Chennai-Lakshadweep sector several times in the recent past and the Chennai centre will bolster both the Southern Air Command and Eastern Naval Command.
