Aiming to fall in keeping with the mantra of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, the Indian Army has indigenously developed an “end-to-end secure mobile ecosystem” aiming to offer secure communication with on the spot connectivity on the transfer, in response to officers. The ecosystem – SAMBHAV (Secure Army Mobile Bharat Version) – operates on the modern 5G know-how and can symbolize a “significant leap forward in India’s defence capability”, a senior official stated.
“Mobile networks are prone to eavesdropping and therefore information security of mobiles is at risk of being compromised. An end-to-end secure mobile ecosystem which is network-agnostic has been developed to provide secure communication with instant connectivity on the move,” the official stated.
This leverages the potential of indigenous public mobile networks within the nation and the ecosystem has “5G -ready handsets using multi-tier encryption”, the official added.
Dual-use infrastructure
According to official sources, this aligns with the federal government’s efforts in direction of “dual-use infrastructure” and it additionally manifests “civil-military fusion” within the discipline of rising know-how.
In the context of the SAMBHAV ecosystem, “35,000 sets are to be configured in two phases, with initial 2,500 sets to be configured by January 15, and the remaining by May 31 this year,” they added.
The secure purposes that are indigenously developed, and working system mark a “significant step towards Atmanirbhar Bharat”, the official stated.
Officials stated that SAMBHAV can have multi-layered encryption with a pan-India secure ecosystem.
Army present process transformation
The Indian Army is present process transformation and is predicted to realize “significant capabilities in cyberspace”, officers stated.
“A robust cyber defence triad encompassing people, process and technology has been established by the Indian Army,” the officers stated.
Conventional capabilities are not the one measure of navy prowess.
