Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data are not merely support tools in today’s rapidly evolving battlefield. They are becoming the backbone of modern warfare. From enabling precision targeting and predictive logistics to creating integrated command structures, AI and data analytics are revolutionising how militaries plan, fight, and win wars. For the Indian Army, the future lies not in distant promise but in present transformation, with significant technological strides underway under the ‘Decade of Transformation’ initiative.
The Global Shift Toward AI-Enabled Warfare
Across the globe, recent conflicts such as the Armenia-Azerbaijan war, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war have highlighted the decisive role of AI and Big Data. AI-enabled drones and loitering munitions have been used for surveillance and precision strikes. Real-time data processing has allowed forces to anticipate enemy moves, while cyber warfare has blurred the lines between conventional and non-conventional warfare. The United States and China have made significant advances in military AI, developing battlefield management systems that can process thousands of data points in real-time, from satellite imagery and drone feeds to electronic intercepts, offering commanders a comprehensive situational picture.
