India to launch first-ever tri-services ‘Future Warfare’ course on September 23

The Indian Armed Forces will conduct their first-ever tri-services “Future Warfare” course from September 23-27, under the aegis of the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff. The course, spearheaded by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, aims to prepare officers for the evolving nature of modern warfare.

According to an official release from the Ministry of Defence, the “Future Warfare” course will be rank-agnostic, inviting officers ranging from Major Generals to Majors, and their equivalents from the Navy and Air Force. The course is designed to familiarize participants with both the operational and technological dimensions of modern conflicts.

Key focus areas will include the evolving nature of warfare, encompassing contact and non-contact engagements, kinetic and non-kinetic operations, and psychological and informational warfare. Officers will explore how future conflicts will play out across new domains, such as cyberspace, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum.

The course will also delve into the impact of emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, robotics, and hypersonic weapons, on future battlefields. These disruptive technologies are expected to redefine the conduct of warfare in the years to come.

Officers must be equipped to navigate this complex landscape, leveraging new technologies, and adapting to innovative tactics.

The course will foster jointness, and facilitate the development of a cohesive, futuristic, and tech-savvy force, capable of securing national interests in an increasingly uncertain and competitive environment.
