First Command and Control Compatibility Board meeting for 2024 between India and the US was organized.
The meeting was organized from 04 to 07 June 2024 at Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi.
The meeting was attended by a 29-member US delegation led by Mr. Paul Nicholson, Executive Director, US INDOPACOM and a 38-member Indian delegation led by Brigadier Rahul Anand of Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff.
The CCCB, held biannually, is a Technical Expert Group constituted under Article XI of the Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA) between India and the US.
This is the seventh such meeting to measure, reinforce and achieve continued progress in the bilateral defence partnership between the two countries, following the signing of the landmark agreement in September 2018.
During the four-day interaction, subject matter experts from both sides held several rounds of comprehensive discussions to understand the interoperability scenarios and operational communication requirements.
The focused discussions with the US delegation were helpful in arriving at mutually agreed solutions to the current communication interoperability requirements of the Indian tri-services.
