The exercise validated plans for bringing down integrated firepower by orchestrating synchronised firing by artillery guns and fire support components of infantry, aimed toward the destruction of designated targets.
The month-long training culminated in test exercise in which troops and equipment were tested in simulated war conditions in high-altitude area and extreme weather conditions during which synergised surveillance and firepower from Infantry and Artillery radars, weapon systems and direction of fire from air were practiced.
Uninterrupted communication on multiple media was also tested at long distances.
