The Opportunity
Defense AI Requires Different Capabilities
Adversarial Resilience
Enterprise AI fails under attack. Defense AI must work when adversaries are actively trying to deceive, jam, or compromise it.
Disconnected Operation
Cloud AI needs connectivity. Defense AI must operate in denied, degraded, and disconnected environments.
Mission-Critical Reliability
Enterprise AI can fail and retry. Defense AI failures have irreversible consequences. Different reliability standards.
Make in India
Defense modernization requires indigenous capabilities. Dependence on foreign AI creates strategic vulnerability.
Capabilities
Five AI Domains
Full-spectrum defense AI from intelligence to autonomous systems.
Tactical Intelligence
Multi-source fusion. Pattern of life analysis. Threat detection. Predictive intelligence. Named entity recognition.
Autonomous Systems
Swarm coordination. GPS-denied navigation. Target recognition. Multi-platform engagement. Decision autonomy levels.
Electronic Warfare
Signal intelligence. Spectrum management. Jamming optimization. Cyber-EW integration. Cognitive EW adaptation.
Command & Control
Multi-domain awareness. Course of action generation. Resource optimization. Wargaming. Battle damage assessment.
Secure Runtime
Adversarial-resistant inference. Air-gapped deployment. Hardware security. Model protection. Tamper detection.
