Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi today called for the democratisation of technology, geographic diffusion, and the use of demographics in terms of citizen soldiers and merchants for modern warfare.

 

 

Addressing the Delhi Defence Dialogue 2025 in New Delhi, Mr Dwivedi highlighted the evolving role of technology in contemporary battlefields. He underlined that the Indian Army is looking at human-centric technology and is also considering Generation seven technology for microchips. He also called for the use of AI, robotics and cyber tools in grey zones of warfare.

 

 

He added that Technology is there not to replace humans, but to support them. Mr Dwivedi also informed that Secure Army Mobile Bharat Version-SAMBHAV used for Operation Sindoor is now going for phase two, which will be a much more advanced version.
