Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General M V Suchindra Kumar on Friday said the army has identified 135 areas where it seeks technological and industrial collaboration to fill operational gaps, with 93 research and development projects currently at various stages. He said that the army has set up five joint command and control centres to ensure coordinated ground-level operations. "In Northern Command, we face multiple fronts and terrains starting from the plains of Jammu, moving to hilly areas, and then to high-altitude and super high-altitude areas, such as eastern Ladakh. This region serves as a testing laboratory for equipment," Lt Gen Kumar told reporters.
