Pune : Major Army staff general Manoj Pandey Said on Wednesday that no country is ready to share the latest, “state-of-the-art” technologies and implied that the nation’s security can neither be outsourced nor depend on the generosity of others, asymmetric Reveals the effects of war. and digital flexibility. He was speaking on the foundation day of the Army Institute of Technology in Maharashtra’s Pune city.
“The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has brought to the fore some key facts such as the impact of asymmetric warfare, information warfare capabilities, digital resilience, weaponisation of the economic system, communication redundancy, space-based systems and many more, all driven by technology prowess from possession,” he said.
Therefore, today’s security is based on technological edge over the adversary, Gen Pandey said.
“No country is willing to share the latest, cutting-edge technologies, so it implies that the nation’s security can neither be outsourced nor depend on the generosity of others. Self-reliance in critical technologies And investing in research and development is a strategic imperative that can no longer be ignored.”
General Pandey, an alumnus of the Indian Army, said that the Indian Army is aware of these realities. National Defense Academy in city.
“We have resolved to ensure that the development of our capabilities is based on the principles of self-reliance and leveraging specialized technologies and the Indian Army is taking concrete steps on both these aspects,” he said.
He said that the capacity development efforts are progressing on the building blocks of commitment towards the vision of “Atmanirbharta” (self-reliance). “Indian industry has responded to the need of the hour, within a short span of time, driven by young, creative professionals, an entire ecosystem of start-ups supporting the defense industry has come up in the country. This is a very reassuring development , through which the vision of ‘self-reliance’ is being realised,” he said.
Elaborating on specific technologies, the General said that they have created a center of excellence to harness the potential of artificial intelligence, data analytics, 5G and automation.
He also said that in-house development of software with AI engines has begun to be incorporated into “our battlefield sensors”.
“AI-based tools for satellite imagery are part of our core activities. We are building gigabit networks for spectrum and pushing high-capacity and high-throughput systems into frontier areas through software-defined radio. Innovations for Defense Excellence (IDEX) projects are being pursued to leverage the competencies of start-ups, individual innovators, MSMEs, R&D institutions and academia,” he said.
He said the major projects under IDEX include quantum key distribution, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), drones, counter-drones and AI systems. Blockchain technology is being explored for efficient supply chain management, he said. “These are some of the ways in our roadmap to shape the Indian Army into a future-ready, technologically driven, lethal and agile force, capable of effectively meeting the challenges of the future,” he added.
Pandey said that technology infusion and modernization in the country’s combat system would be a permanent endeavour. “Therefore, avenues in a large number of technical domains are wide open for young bright minds like you to become a stakeholder in the capability development architecture of the Indian Army,” Pandey said while addressing the students at the engineering college.
Slogan “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, hail scienceJai Anusandhan” given by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi The Army Chief said that it captures the contemporary reality well and underlines the importance of research and innovation.
Industrialist in his address at the program Baba Kalyani Expressed his admiration for the Indian Armed Forces and said that the Indian defense industry has turned from an importer to an exporter of advanced weapon systems.
Kalyani asserted that India will lead on the global stage for the next decade because of its five key strengths – economy, structural reforms, technology-enabled manufacturing growth, ‘India first’ diplomacy and ‘being young’.
The industrialist said he is confident that India will become a $33 trillion economy by 2047.
