He emphasised that Capability Development is being done through a scientific process and mentioned that interoperability and integration will grow manifold with theaterisation.
The CDS also stated that baseline understanding of space, cyber and EW technologies is important for all warfighters. He appreciated the efforts of DRDO and CENJOWS for bringing the services, scientists, industry and academia together for brainstorming the subject and mutual understanding of each other’s requirements to meet the future battle field challenges.
Secretary, Defence R and D and DRDO Chairman, Dr. Samir V Kamat, who also attended the function, stated that with the proliferation of sensors, the Network Centric Warfare is a reality in the future battlefield scenario.

He also underscored the salience of AI-driven autonomy.
Senior officers from the three services, DRDO scientists and Industry representatives discussed various issues including strategic and multi-domain awareness, information sharing, networks and communications, analysis, intelligence and decision-making, prompt and multi-domain targeting, among others.
