During the three-day Combined Commanders’ Conference in Kolkata from September 15 to 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be shown a variety of air defence systems and radars, including the domestic Akash missile and Rohini radar, which were successfully used during Operation Sindoor.
The conference will include air defence systems from the three defence forces. The systems to be displayed at the Fort Williams headquarters of the Eastern Army Command would showcase the indigenous capabilities of the defence forces.
India has been developing a host of new air defence systems in the recent past and is currently working on a long-range surface-to-air missile system under Project Kusha, one with tactical systems like the QRSAM and Akash NG. The Combined Commanders' Conference (CCC) theme for this year is 'Year of Reforms - Transforming for the Future'.
The conference will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister on September 15. CCC 2025 will focus on Reforms, Transformation & Change, and Operational Preparedness. Together, these reflect the Armed Forces' commitment to institutional reforms, deeper integration, and technological modernisation, while sustaining a high level of multi-domain operational readiness.
The deliberations will seek to strengthen further the Armed Forces, which are agile and decisive in an increasingly complex Geo-Strategic landscape. Continuing with the tradition of inclusive engagement, the conference will feature interactive sessions with officers and personnel of various ranks from the Armed Forces, ensuring that field-level perspectives enrich the discussions at the highest level.
CCC is the apex-level brainstorming forum of the Armed Forces, bringing together the nation's top civil and military leadership to exchange views at the conceptual and strategic levels.
