Indian Army achieves 94% targeting accuracy using AI in Operation Sindoor.
During Operation Sindoor in May 2025, the Indian Army utilized advanced AI technologies to target Pakistani positions with 94% accuracy, marking its first major AI-enabled cross-border operation. The AI tools processed 26 years of historical data, sensor feeds, drones, satellites, and radars to identify and prioritize threats in real-time. Key applications included the Electronic Intelligence Collation and Analysis System (ECAS), predictive weather modelling, and a unified operational platform integrating data across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The operation showcased India’s focus on indigenous AI development, with efforts underway to develop a military-specific large language model and an all-encompassing AI platform. These innovations enhanced precision, situational awareness, and operational readiness amid ongoing regional tensions, with the Indian Army emphasizing a cautious, ethically governed approach to AI deployment.
