India prepares for the networked battlefield: IAF’s big push for information superiority · wionews.com

India is getting ready for future wars, which leaders say will be about information.

Army and Air Force leaders met with technology companies in New Delhi.

They talked about machines that watch, listen, and share messages quickly.

The leaders said the side that gets and uses information fastest will win.

They discussed something called the OODA loop, which is about quickly looking, thinking, and acting.

India wants to build its own defence technology instead of buying from other countries.

Companies at the meeting showed off cameras, sensors, and communication tools.

Other countries are becoming more interested in buying India's technology.

This helps Indian businesses grow and makes the country stronger and safer.
