Legacy vs Disruptive Technologies for the Indian Army

CSDR’s study for ARTRAC evaluates how new technologies affect warfare, analyzing recent conflicts and their impact on offense-defense dynamics. Recommendations will be made for updating the Indian Army’s tactics and equipment, considering integration challenges and suggesting adaptation strategies.

CSDR is conducting an in depth study under the aegis of the Indian Army’s Training Command (ARTRAC) to assess the impact of emerging technologies on the nature of warfare. The project is looking at recent conflicts to assess the role of new-age platforms and their effectiveness in meeting battlefield objectives. It is also assessing concurrent regional shifts in the offense-defense balance due to these technologies. The project will recommend required calibrations in the Indian Army’s warfighting doctrine and weapons inventory (integration with legacy systems and future procurements), detail the challenges the army will likely face while adopting these emerging technologies, and suggest possible pathways for the army to mitigate and adapt to these challenges.
