ARMY AIR DEFENCE

Army Air Defence (AAD)
ARMY AIR DEFENCE
In 1994, after bifurcation of Air Defence Artillery from the Regiment of Artillery, a committee was set up for selection of the corps crest. The committee appointed National Institute of Design (NID), at Ahmedabad, for designing the AAD crest. Mr Vijay Singh designed the crest. The crest of Corps of Army Air Defence reflects the neo-facet of Army Air Defence. The crest embellished in hues of silver and gold comprises a missile with radar antennae on either side. The fiery exhaust of the missile and the radar radiations emitting outward signify the ever readiness and omni-competence of the Army Air Defence gunners. The crest is emblazoned with the Corps motto, ‘Akashe Shatrun Jahi’ meaning ‘Kill the Enemy in the Sky’ which is engraved in Devanagri script on the scroll placed below. The Corps changed its designation, from Air Defence Artillery to Army Air Defence, with effect from  April 18, 2005.
