At the India AI Impact Summit, the Indian Army presented a series of indigenous dual-use artificial intelligence technologies, highlighting its transition toward becoming a data-centric and AI-enabled force aligned with India’s broader push for technological self-reliance and secure digital infrastructure. The developments were shared through a statement by the Additional Directorate General of Public Information under the Integrated Headquarters of the Ministry of Defence (Army), emphasising the growing role of advanced technologies in modern defence and national capability building.
The Army stated that these AI solutions are not limited to military applications but are designed for both defence and civilian use, covering sectors such as education, disaster management, cybersecurity, logistics, and operational planning. Among the key systems showcased was AI Examiner, an automated platform that assists in training and education by enabling assessment, evaluation, and feedback processes. Another system, SAM-UN, functions as a geospatial situational-awareness tool intended to support mission planning, disaster response operations, and smart command and control centres.
Additional technologies include EKAM, an indigenous secure AI cloud platform developed to ensure data sovereignty and protect sensitive information within national digital infrastructure. The Army also introduced PRAKSHEPAN, an AI-driven climatology and disaster prediction system capable of generating early warnings for natural hazards such as floods, landslides, and avalanches. Security-focused solutions such as XFace provide facial recognition-based identity verification, while Nabh Drishti offers a mobile telemetry-based platform for real-time reporting, monitoring, and visualisation of operational data.
Operational safety and logistics were addressed through innovations such as a driver fatigue detection system designed to issue real-time alerts to prevent accidents, an “AI-in-a-Box” portable edge computing solution suitable for deployment in remote or challenging environments, and an AI-enabled vehicle tracking system aimed at improving fleet monitoring and logistical efficiency. The Army also showcased deepfake detection technologies and AI-powered cybersecurity tools developed to counter synthetic media manipulation, malware threats, and emerging cyber risks.
According to the Army, these initiatives represent a decisive shift toward building a secure, networked, and AI-empowered ecosystem that strengthens defence preparedness while simultaneously supporting civilian applications. The technologies are intended to enhance disaster resilience, improve cybersecurity readiness, and contribute to broader national development goals by leveraging artificial intelligence across multiple sectors beyond traditional military operations.
