India's Project PRAGYASHAKTI Enhances Electronic Warfare with AI Integration

India has launched Project PRAGYASHAKTI, an advanced 25-month initiative to unify and enhance its electronic warfare (EW) capabilities across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Managed by DRDO with private industry partners, the project integrates multi-origin EW systems, including American, Russian, French, and Indian technologies, under a common AI-driven software framework. The system’s architecture comprises eight specialized modules for tasks like signal interception, threat detection, jamming, and electronic counter-countermeasures, deployed across airborne, surface, and ground platforms. This scalable, cloud-based framework enables real-time data sharing, improving situational awareness and rapid response in complex electromagnetic environments. Operational tests are due within 18 months, marking a strategic leap for India’s autonomous digital warfare capability. The project enhances India’s strategic autonomy and resilience amid regional electronic warfare competition, especially relevant to its security challenges along contested borders.
