A course on 'Future Warfare', with the intention of acquainting officers of the three services—Army, Navy, Air Force—with operational and technological aspects of modern warfare will be held from Monday.
The course intends to facilitate the development of a cohesive, futuristic, and tech-savvy force, that is capable of securing national interests in an increasingly uncertain and competitive environment.
The three-day course will focus on key areas related to future warfare to develop an understanding in the manner in which future wars will be fought in terms of being contact, non-contact, kinetic, non-kinetic, psychological or informational. Besides, it will also highlight the domains where future wars will be held— cyber, space, or electromagnetic spectrum among others.

A rank-agnostic course for major generals to majors and their equivalent level officers from other services, this is the first time such an initiative is being undertaken.
The participants will also be informed about how emerging and disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and hypersonics will impact the conduct of future wars.
“The need for a Future Warfare course for tri-services officers arises from the rapidly evolving nature of modern warfare, driven by technological advancements, changing global dynamics, and emerging threats. Officers must be equipped to navigate this complex landscape, leveraging new technologies, and adapting to innovative tactics,” the defence ministry said in a release.
The course intends to facilitate the development of a cohesive, futuristic, and tech-savvy force, that is capable of securing national interests in an increasingly uncertain and competitive environment.
