Raja Subramani has urged India’s armed forces to build technological skills, adaptable leadership and a stronger joint operational culture. Speaking at the Fourth Tri-Services Future Warfare Course in New Delhi, he said future conflict would span land, sea, air, cyberspace, outer space, the electromagnetic spectrum and information operations. The month-long course brings together Army, Navy and Air Force officers with academics, scientists, defence firms, start-ups, MSMEs and research institutions. It examines the military use of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, quantum technology, cyber capabilities and data-driven decisions. The course is organised by Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff with CENJOWS. Its focus matches wider reforms aimed at integrated planning and theatre commands. ## Coverage - government.economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: cybersecurity, future warfare, Indian armed forces, jointness, military technology Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/cds-calls-for-joint-tech-ready-forces-for-future-wars/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
