The Indian Army demonstrated comprehensive indigenous artificial intelligence (AI) solutions at the India AI Summit, highlighting its evolution to a data-driven and AI-enhanced force. This development is in line with India’s goal of achieving technological independence and enhanced digital capabilities.
During the summit, the Army introduced a variety of AI platforms with significant dual-use potential to serve both defense operations and civilian purposes. These systems represent a clear move toward integrating advanced technologies to improve operational efficiency, governance support, and national resilience.
The highlight of the show was the AI Examiner, an automated assessment and feedback system designed for education and training purposes. Additionally, SAM-UN was highlighted as a geospatial AI-enabled situational awareness platform that supports mission planning, disaster response, and smart command centers. The Army also announced EKAM (AI-as-a-Service), its own secure, air-gapped AI cloud that ensures data sovereignty and protected processing.
The military showcase included PRAKSHEPAN, an AI-driven climatology and disaster prediction system that provides early warning of natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and avalanches. XFace, an AI-based facial recognition tool for security and identity verification, was also featured. Nabh Drishti, a mobile telemetry-based platform for real-time reporting and visualization, is one of its innovative products. Other solutions such as driver fatigue detection, AI-in-a-Box for edge deployment, AI-enabled vehicle tracking systems, deepfake detection and tools for AI cybersecurity highlighted the Army’s focus on safety, optimizing logistics, and protecting critical digital infrastructure.
Collectively, these initiatives highlight the Indian Army’s commitment to building a secure, interconnected, and AI-enhanced ecosystem. This approach not only strengthens defense preparedness, but also contributes significantly to disaster management, cybersecurity, and broader national development goals.
