New Delhi, May 6

The second edition of the Joint Commanders' Conference, on the theme 'Military Capability in New Domains', will be held in Jaipur, Rajasthan, on May 7 & 8.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan will grace the conference, which assumes significance as it coincides with the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, a landmark Tri-service operation that stands as a testament to India's unflinching political will and military resolve, characterised by surgical precision,according to the Ministry of Defence.

Modern warfare is transitioning into a more complex and tech-driven paradigm with the transformative impact of AI, the development of unmanned systems & emerging threats that extend beyond traditional battlefields and target invisible frontiers.

The conference will provide a pivotal forum to evaluate the challenges in emerging domains of cyber, space and cognitive warfare and chart a roadmap for capability development for a resilient and future-ready force with a decisive edge. Central to the agenda will be to accelerate indigenisation and Aatmanirbharta in defence production by fostering a domestic ecosystem of innovation & civil-military fusion.

The conference will also feature a demonstration of futuristic applications developed in-house and the release of new doctrines pertaining to future warfare concepts and operational strategies.

Operation Sindoor was a significant cross-border military strike launched by the Indian Armed Forces on May 7, 2025, in retaliation for a brutal attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, that resulted in the killing of 26 tourists in the name of religion.

While the conference sounds good on paper, I hope the discussions translate into actual procurement and training reforms. Our soldiers on the ground still need better equipment and timely upgrades. Let's not just have meetings—let's deliver results.

Interesting to see India prioritizing cognitive warfare alongside traditional domains. The threat landscape is evolving fast—nations that ignore the information battle space will fall behind. Good strategic move.

Operation Sindoor was a defining moment for India's military posture. Those 26 innocent tourists killed in Pahalgam—their sacrifice wasn't in vain. The conference rightfully honors that operation. But we must ensure our intelligence agencies stay ahead of future threats.

The emphasis on futuristic applications developed in-house gives me hope. Our DRDO and startups need more funding and quicker approval processes. Let's make 'Make in India' in defense a reality, not just a slogan. Kudos to the team organizing this!

As someone who studies military strategy, this conference is a positive step. Cyber and space are the new frontiers—India needs to invest heavily in resilient satellite systems and offensive cyber capabilities. The tri-service approach is smart.
