The Indian Army on Thursday launched a new messaging application called ASIGMA for in-house communication. ASIGMA, stands for Army Secure IndiGeneous Messaging Application. A team of officers of the Corps of Signals has built this application.
“The new application is being deployed on the Army’s internal network as a replacement of Army Wide Area Network (AWAN) messaging application which has been in service for the past 15 years,” the Indian Army said.
Among ASIGMA’s contemporary features are multi-level security, message prioritisation and tracking, a global address book, and various options to meet the military’s needs.
“This future messaging application will meet real time data transfer and messaging requirements of the Army, especially in the backdrop of current geo political security environment and is in line with the government of India’s Make in India initiative,” the army added.
