The future of defence will be shaped not by conventional military strength alone, but by intelligent systems, autonomous platforms, cyber capabilities, space technologies, and software-defined warfare. As the character of warfare undergoes its biggest transformation in decades, India stands at the convergence of two historic shifts, the evolution of future battlefields and the rise of its own defence-industrial ecosystem. This session explores how these parallel transformations are creating an unprecedented opportunity for Indian industry to build sovereign capabilities, accelerate deep-tech innovation, strengthen national security, and position India as a global leader in defence technology.
