‘Viksit Bharat’ will face many threats on a 2047 battlefield.

At the NDTV Defence Summit held earlier this month, General Manoj Pande, Chief of the Army Staff, highlighted that warfare has diversified into new domains. To remain competitive in keeping with the changing character of war, a paradigm shift in capability development is required to become a future-ready force that can safeguard national interests. The enmeshing of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with existing weapons systems will lead to the fielding of more destructive weapons systems. They will have longer ranges, more destructive power and improved accuracy, all operating in a networked environment that will also be transformed. These new technologies – some of which may be low-cost – could easily proliferate to smaller countries and even non-state actors, greatly adding to the diversity of threats and challenges. Former Army Chief, Indian Army, General MM Naravane(Retd) explains how modern battlefield has changed and how to be ready for it in this week's column
