innovation absorption
The Indian Army has actually stated 2024 as the ‘Year of Technology Absorption’ and is carrying out numerous efforts to induct specific niche innovation and systems into its stock.
Induction of ‘Akashteer’ control centres is among the significant turning points accomplished by the Army on its course to change that will fulfill the present and futuristic requirements of complicated air defence operations, the sources stated.
Leading leaders of the Army have actually chosen to check out the expediency of developing a custom-made organisation to operate as “adversarial force” to bring out sensible war-gaming and training as part of total efforts to boost the force’s battle expertise to deal with future security difficulties.
