How AI and Drones are transforming the Indian Army

As India faces a more complex and volatile security landscape, the Indian Army is recalibrating its doctrine, capabilities and organisational design for multi-domain conflict. New technologies and advancing jointness across the services are redefining readiness and deterrence. This session considers how structural reform, human capital, and integration will shape the Army’s strategic trajectory in the years ahead.

How is the Indian Army evolving its strategy, doctrine, and force structure to address the changing security challenges along the borders, especially with evolving threats in multi-domain warfare?

What role do emerging technologies like AI, drones, cyber capabilities, and space-based surveillance play in transforming the operational effectiveness of the Indian Army?

With evolving recruitment models and changing aspirations among India’s youth, how is the Army adapting its outreach and training systems to attract and retain high-quality talent?
