Being an essential military installation, primary responsibility of COD Jabalpur is to supply critical armaments including artillery and small arms to the armed forces. Artillery and small arms are essential for maintaining the defence capabilities of the military. The depot acts as a crucial link in the supply chain, ensuring that the armed forces are well-equipped to safeguard the nation's borders and interests. Recogni-sing the importance of streamlined operations and efficiency, COD Jabalpur has embraced modernisation and automation. The implementation of advanced logistic practices has improved inventory management, reduced turnaround time and enhanced overall productivity. One notable aspect of this modernization is the adoption of vertical shutters in the sheds, enabling better organisation and accessibility to armaments. Under-standing the significance of perimeter security, COD Jabalpur has invested in an integrated surveillance system. This system employs state-of-the-art technology to monitor the depot's boundaries and deter potential threats. With 24/7 surveillance, the personnel at the depot can swiftly respond to any suspicious activities, ensuring the safety of critical assets.

 

As the city of Jabalpur has developed around the Depot, the region has witnessed a surge in population. This growth also brings the risk of anti-national elements seeking to exploit the situation. COD Jabalpur has taken a proactive approach to address this threat by utilising modern equipment and technology. The deployment of advanced security measures helps counter potential risks and safeguarding both the depot and the surrounding areas. To maintain a high level of alertness and preparedness, COD Jabalpur conducts regular security drills for its Quick Reaction Teams (QRT) and fire-fighting teams. These drills simulate various emergency scenarios, ensuring that the personnel are well-trained to handle any adverse situations effectively. Such preparedness drills help minimise the possibility of security lapses and enable a rapid and coordinated response if an actual threat arises. In the digital age, cyber security has become a critical aspect of overall defence. COD Jabalpur acknowledges this and has taken proactive measures to safeguard its digital infrastructure. Regular lectures and surprise checks on cyber security practices help educate personnel and reinforce the importance of adhering to best cyber security practices, protecting sensitive information from potential cyber threats.
