Think & Discuss
Digital Transformation in Defence: Balancing Innovation with Security
Context from today’s quiz: The Indian Army is rapidly adopting digital platforms like DIME for logistics management, solar-powered UAVs like MAPSS for surveillance, and advancing hypersonic missile technology through scramjet engines. Meanwhile, private sector partnerships (L&T for Pinaka MLRS, Bharat Forge-Agile Robots for AI robotics) are becoming crucial for defence modernisation.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
As India accelerates digital transformation in its defence sector—integrating AI-driven logistics, solar-powered surveillance systems, and hypersonic technology—critical questions emerge about the intersection of innovation, security, and strategic autonomy.
How should India balance rapid technological modernisation with cybersecurity concerns and strategic independence from foreign technology?
How should India balance rapid technological modernisation with cybersecurity concerns and strategic independence from foreign technology?
- Should defence digitalisation prioritise indigenous technology development even if it means slower adoption, or should India leverage global partnerships (like Bharat Forge-Agile Robots) for faster capability enhancement?
- With systems like DIME managing critical logistics data, what cybersecurity frameworks are essential to prevent adversarial exploitation of networked military systems?
- How can India ensure that public-private partnerships in defence (L&T, NewSpace Research) maintain strategic autonomy while benefiting from private sector innovation and efficiency?
