The Northern Command faces the unique challenge of dealing with two adversaries on the border, coupled with the threat of state-sponsored actors attempting to destabilize internal security.
Faced with the unique challenge of dealing with two adversaries on the border along with the threat of state-sponsored actors trying to destabilize internal security, the Indian Army’s Northern Command has mapped out a plan incorporating the latest ‘Atmanirbhar’ technology to fight future wars.
The plan was prepared at a two-day Northern Command Techno Commanders Seminar that culminated at the Nagrota military station on Tuesday, a defense spokesman said.
The seminar was planned in collaboration with academics and think tanks to discuss the issue and prepare commanders for future conflicts. On the first day, the police officers presented selected essays, and on the second day, he witnessed the opinions presented by experts on the matter.
The 21st century was an era of unprecedented change in global economic, political-diplomatic, military doctrines with the rapid introduction of new technologies changing the nature of threats to nations and armed forces.
The Indian Army has embarked on a journey of capability development and force modernization by harnessing new technologies and encouraging innovation through indigenization and ‘atmanirbharta’.
The Northern Command faces the unique challenge of dealing with two adversaries on the border, coupled with the threat of state-sponsored actors attempting to destabilize internal security.
A defense spokesperson said “Therefore, there is an increasing need to incorporate technologies that ensure the effective use of human resources when dealing with adversaries. The seminar was aimed at further enhancing commanders’ ability to use technology for future technology-intensive battlefields, as well as enable them to lead their men separated in time and space with equal ease and agility”.
He said that current and future conflicts will not be limited to the military, but will be conducted as a nationwide approach where technology will be widely used in the information and physical domains. The seminar will enable Northern Army (Command) to incorporate the technical needs of commanders and find out the latest developments in the technical field of the battlefield.
He said it would facilitate seamless integration of advanced technologies in the military domain to effectively increase the strength of the Indian Army while improving efficiency.
