Indian Army New Delhi to host India's first-ever tri-services 'Future Warfare' course which will feature disruptive technologies, AI
First of its kind, a tri-services “Future Warfare” course is scheduled to be conducted in New Delhi from 23 - 27 September 2024 under the aegis of Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff.
A pioneering initiative by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, this will be a rank agnostic course for Major Generals to Majors and their equivalent level officers from other services.
The course intends to acquaint the officers with the operational and technological aspects of modern warfare.
"The course will focus on key areas related to future warfare to develop an understanding on the manner in which future wars will manifest in terms of being contact, non-contact, kinetic, non-kinetic, psychological or informational as also the domains where they will be fought, be it cyber, space or electromagnetic spectrum," read a statement issued by the Indian government.
It will also throw light on how emerging and disruptive technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, robotics and hypersonics will impact the conduct of warfare.
The need for a Future Warfare Course for Tri Services officers arises from the rapidly evolving nature of modern warfare, driven by technological advancements, changing global dynamics, and emerging threats.
Officers must be equipped to navigate this complex landscape, leveraging new technologies, and adapting to innovative tactics.
The course will foster jointness, and facilitate the development of a cohesive, futuristic, and tech-savvy force, capable of securing national interests in an increasingly uncertain and competitive environment.
The course has been curated by Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff with the help of veteran and serving subject matter experts.
