Army conducts trials of next-gen def systems under near-combat conditions

Overview

  • Trials occur at Pokhran, Babina and Joshimath with dedicated air-defence demonstrations scheduled at Agra and Gopalpur.
  • Integrated electronic warfare environments stress-test unmanned aerial systems, precision-guided munitions and advanced radar solutions under simulated combat scenarios.
  • Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi reviewed demonstrations at Babina on May 27 and conferred with developers and military commanders on performance benchmarks.
  • These evaluations form part of the ‘Decade of Transformation’ roadmap designed to fast-track the induction of home-grown technologies.
  • A broad consortium of domestic defence manufacturers is participating to bolster indigenous capability and enhance operational readiness.
