Army Day 15 Jan 2021
On the occasion of the Army Day 2021, SAMDeS fraternity extends its warmest felicitations and best wishes to the Indian Army.
The past year has been a truly challenging one and the Indian Army has proved its mettle as a highly committed and professional force and earned the highest admiration of the nation and the respect of its adversaries.
The Indian Army has contributed in a very large measure to use its resources to advantage in the supreme task of nation building. At the international level the Indian Army’s reputation in UNPKOs as a professional force is nulli secondus.
Given the rapid advances in technology and the doctrinal shifts in the conduct of operations and the design of battle the Indian Army is sure footed and firm in taking these challenges in its stride.
At SAMDeS we continue to explore new avenues of making the national aero-maritime-military ecosystem more robust and more responsive to the challenges of tomorrow. We remain committed to the Indian Army to jointly develop thought leadership approaches on adoption of new concepts and technologies.
Jai Hind.
