The
Velayat 93 wargames are due to be conducted by the Iranian Navy, Air Force,
Khatam ol-Anbia Base and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in
the Southern waters of Iran later this month. Last year, the drills were
conducted in the second half of the Iranian year (September, 2013-March,
2014) and were codenamed Velayat 2.
Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base in May unveiled 2 new home-made command and control systems named 'Fakour' (Thoughtful) and 'Rassoul' (Messenger) as well as Matla ol-Fajr (Dawn) radar system in a ceremony participated by Esmayeeli and some other high-raking commanders. The tactical command and control systems, Fakour and Rassoul, can collect information from all databases and information gathering centers linked to the air defense system, passive and active radars, missile systems and adjacent command and control centers to provide an integrated image and map of the region to command and control all land-based and air-based defense systems fully independently. The two systems are mobile and can be deployed in any region and under harsh geographical conditions and have a wide range of applications in electronic warfare. Utilizing an exclusive microwave network and the national fiber-optic and wired and wireless communication network as well as real-time assurance of target interception and destruction are among other capabilities of these smart systems. |

connection to national communication network, increasing the speed and
preciseness of defense networks in transmitting battle-ground radar information
to command-and-control centers and establishing multi-layer communications
for short, middle and long distances are among the other capabilities
of this system.
