The Indian Army officially launched its Digitisation-3 initiative on November 28, 2025, unveiled by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, outlining a 240-page roadmap focused on advancing artificial intelligence, automation, and comprehensive digitisation to establish a data-driven force by 2035. The plan centers on three pillars—digitisation, automation, and AI—highlighting 100 applications, including indigenous counter-drone systems, a Geographic Information System (GIS) for real-time battlefield mapping, and predictive logistics engines to optimize supply chains. Early pilot deployments along the northern borders have reportedly enhanced situational awareness by 40%, marking substantial progress toward network-centric warfare capabilities targeted by 2030. This transformative strategy aims to position the Indian Army as a technology-dominant force, reinforcing operational efficiency and decision superiority amid evolving geopolitical challenges. The initiative also embraces indigenization and synergy with civil-military technology partners, underscoring India’s strategic push for self-reliance in defense technology and battlefield innovation.
