AI Warfare: Can India take the lead?
The future of warfare is being rewritten by artificial intelligence, and India is positioning itself at the forefront of this digital revolution. As autonomous drones execute precision strikes and algorithms command battlefield operations, the question isn't whether AI will dominate military strategy, but whether India will lead or lag in this critical transformation. AI: The New Backbone of Military OperationsadvertisementBy 2030, AI is projected to become the backbone of global military operations, merging land, sea, air, space, and cyber warfare into a unified, intelligent theatre. Modern armies cannot remain relevant without embracing this technology, as AI systems now process more data in seconds than human generals can analyse in has recognised this paradigm shift. The Ministry of Defence has declared 2025 the 'Year of Reforms', with AI and robotics taking centre stage. This isn't merely symbolic: over 75 AI-powered defence products have been indigenously developed, ranging from autonomous drones to smart surveillance and cyber defence India's AI-First Military StrategyThe creation of the Defence AI Council (DAIC) and the Defence AI Project Agency (DAIPA) signals India's serious commitment to AI integration. Each service arm, the Army, Navy, and Air Force, now operates dedicated AI working groups, with annual budgets allocated and comprehensive roadmaps the ground, this technology is already operational. In Kashmir, AI-powered drones patrol terrain too dangerous for human forces. Along the Line of Control, swarm drones provide area denial and predictive threat detection. The Avekshan system distinguishes between livestock and genuine threats, filtering false alarms while delivering real-time InnovationsIndia's drone capabilities showcase its AI ambitions most clearly. Surveillance UAVs like Heron and Rustom sweep vast border zones with precision, while combat drones like Rudrastra execute strikes in hostile terrain. Swarm technology enables dozens of AI-powered drones to operate as a collective intelligence, jamming enemy radars and intercepting Indrajaal defensive drone shield protects 4,000 square kilometres using AI-driven interception technology. The D4 Anti-Drone system, featuring 360-degree radar and laser tracking, has intercepted over 80% of rogue drones Borders and Strategic DefenceIndia's extensive borders now feature 'smart' defensive systems with laser walls, facial recognition, motion sensors, and real-time alerts. Project Himshakti utilises satellite data and AI modelling to predict potential cross-border movement routes, shifting focus from reaction to Government: A Growing EcosystemIndia's AI defence ecosystem extends beyond government laboratories. Startups like ideaForge and DSRL produce battlefield-ready drones and surveillance tools, while the iDEX initiative fuels defence technology entrepreneurship. Microsoft's $3 billion commitment to India's AI infrastructure demonstrates international confidence in the country's Ambitions and ChallengesWith a $5 billion defence export target by 2025, India eyes international markets for its AI-enabled products. These technologies often have dual-use civilian applications in disaster response, logistics, and medical aid, expanding market opportunities and diplomatic challenges remain: procurement delays, fragmented frameworks, ethical considerations, and shortages of AI-literate personnel. The critical question is whether India can maintain momentum in a rapidly evolving global landscape where China, the United States, and Israel continue advancing their own AI warfare stands at the threshold of military innovation, ready to become not just AI-ready, but AI-dominant in the algorithmic age of warfare.- Ends

Parts of endangered species seized in raid on astrologer's office in Faridabad
Gurgaon: Multiple pieces of Seafan, a type of protected soft coral commonly marketed under the name "Indrajaal", and the genital organs of Monitor Lizards — these were among the recoveries made on Wednesday at the office of an astrologer, who was allegedly promoting their sale and use through his Instagram account. These species enjoy the highest level of protection and any trade or possession is a serious offence under Indian wildlife law. In a crackdown on illegal wildlife trade linked to occult practices, Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB), along with the Haryana forest department, raided the office of Yagya Dutt Sharma (38) in Faridabad's Sector 7 on Wednesday and seized parts of the endangered species protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Sharma has been arrested. Acting on digital surveillance and social media monitoring, the WCCB tracked Sharma through his Instagram account, where he was allegedly promoting the sale and use of "Indrajaal" for its supposed spiritual or astrological benefits. Investigators found that the wildlife items were being sold in sets — five pieces of Seafan and three pieces of Monitor Lizard organs — purportedly for ritualistic purposes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lợi ích khi giao dịch CFD Bitcoin IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon An FIR was registered in Sector 8 Faridabad police station.

Indrajaal Infra, the next-gen battle dome
We've heard that Indrajaal has an R&D Command and Control Centre. Could you share more? Indrajaal operates a fully functional Command and Control Centre at the core of our 80-acre R&D campus in Hyderabad. This is the nerve centre of our counter-drone ecosystem: It is a next-gen hub where hardware, software, AI, and tactical strategies converge. At its heart is a cutting-edge command container system featuring a military-grade command table used to run and evolve SkyOS. This isn't a static control room; it's a dynamic battlefield simulation environment where we test, refine, and stress-test our technologies against real-world scenarios. The facility includes advanced equipment like jammers, spoofers, kamikaze drones, cyber takeover tools, and EO/IR sensors. It's designed to support rapid innovation and real-time threat analysis. Sensors are critical to most counter-drone systems. However, false alarms — for example, misidentifying a bird as a drone — can pose challenges. How does Indrajaal address such issues? Many systems rely on preset rules and still need human input. Indrajaal, however, is fully autonomous. It fuses data from multiple sensors and uses AI to distinguish between harmless objects and real threats. SkyOS takes this further by analysing radar patterns, radio signals, flight behaviours, and GPS data to make accurate decisions. This drastically reduces false alarms and eliminates wasted action on non-threats. At the same time, we've built in secure remote access, allowing human intervention if needed. So, while Indrajaal operates independently, manual control is always an option. What is the maximum altitude at which your system can detect drones? For instance, can it detect targets at 5 km? Yes, Indrajaal can detect drones flying at altitudes of 5 km and beyond, depending on the drone's size and type. This is achieved through a combination of long-range radar, RF sensors, and electro-optical cameras working together for high-altitude detection.

Indrajaal rolls out AI-driven anti-drone system to protect critical infrastructure
Hyderabad: With Operation Sindoor highlighting the importance of securing critical infrastructure, Hyderabad-based autonomous anti-drone tech player Indrajaal has introduced its specialised AI-powered solution, Indrajaal Infra, to protect high-value infrastructure assets such as nuclear power plants, power grids, refineries, ports, and airports from the rising threat of drone warfare. Built on Indrajaal's AI-powered SkyOS platform, it can secure airspace over an area of up to 4,000 sq km from rogue drones by integrating AI-driven threat detection with sensors, jammers, spoofers and command intelligence. The company said Indrajaal Infra was operational at a naval port in Gujarat during the recent cross-border escalation of hostilities with Pakistan, which targeted sensitive Indian assets along the western border with drone swarms. The solution is now also being deployed at India's largest naval port in Karnataka to strengthen India's maritime and industrial defence infrastructure, it said. "Peacetime readiness is wartime insurance. The cost of protecting critical assets today is far lower than the cost of rebuilding them after an attack," said Kiran Raju, founder & CEO of Indrajaal. "Indrajaal Infra is designed to ensure operational continuity, national resilience, and industrial sovereignty in a rapidly evolving threat environment," he said, pointing out that while many enemy drones were intercepted before they could cause damage during Op Sindoor, the attacks exposed critical gaps in conventional surveillance and perimeter defences.
