Army Air Defence is an arm of the Indian Army which protects its assets from hostile aerial threats. It is embedded with various battle outfits to perform this task. It demands absolute professionalism, a scientific and rational thought process with a clear understanding of the art of warfare.

To fulfil this vital function, Army Air Defence professionals are the custodians of a matrix of systems like Air Surveillance Radars, Air Defence Missiles and Air Defence Guns which house a plethora of niche technologies. 

The privilege to wear the Army Air Defence badge demands stringent training, high levels of comprehension, the ability for instantaneous decision making and imbibing a sense of professional pride. Absolute understanding of battlefield environment, accurate gauging of enemy aerial threats and holistic visualization of manifestation of this threat with the progress of battle, are some of the hallmarks desired of the Army Air Defence Warriors.

Army Air Defence is ubiquitous with all critical assets of the Indian Army and it spreads across the entire Nation - the cold battlefield of the Siachen Glacier, the shifting sands of the West and all along the Northern Borders, till the far East.  

The Army Air Defence lives up to its motto ………

‘DESTROY THE ENEMY IN THE SKY’
