Exercise Amogh Jwala demonstrates Indian Army's integrated, multi-domain warfighting capability

Southern Command validates integrated tech-driven warfighting with drones, EW, and air-land manoeuvres in a major military exercise.

"tech absorption, Jointness and the seamless integration of land, air, cyber, space, ISR and EW capabilities are fundamental - Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth"

Pune, March 19

Southern Command of the Indian Army conducted Exercise AMOGH JWALA from 06 to March 18 at the Babina Field Firing Ranges to validate technology-driven mechanised warfare capabilities in a multi-domain operational environment.

The exercise validated new operational concepts, force structures, procedures and protocols relevant to modern warfare. It demonstrated the integrated employment of mechanised forces with attack helicopters, fighter aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, counter-drone systems and network-enabled battlefield platforms under a robust command and control architecture.

Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Command, witnessed the culmination of the exercise and complimented the participating troops for their professionalism, operational excellence and battle readiness.

He emphasised that tech absorption, Jointness and the seamless integration of land, air, cyber, space, Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities are fundamental to building an agile, adaptable and combat-ready force capable of dominating the evolving battlespace across the full spectrum of multi-domain operations.

The exercise also featured high-tempo mechanised operations with synchronised fire and manoeuvre, real-time drone-enabled surveillance and target acquisition, precision engagement and the seamless integration of advanced battlefield technologies. Advanced surveillance systems, secure communication networks and precision firepower enhanced battlefield transparency and enabled faster, real-time decision-making.

Integrated air-land manoeuvres, battlefield airspace management for Unmanned Ariel System (UAS) and counter-UAS operations, and reorganised force structures incorporating emerging technologies were also validated during the exercise.

The drills highlighted the effective fusion of Electronic Warfare (EW), Air Defence (AD) and night-fighting capabilities, alongside intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets, reflecting the growing combat edge of a networked and future-ready force.

Earlier, the Sapta Shakti Command of the Indian Army successfully organised the 'Jaipur Soldierathon' on March 15, starting from the Gandiv Stadium.

Major Surendra Poonia (Retd) highlighted that many veterans are participated in the event in wheelchairs after they lost their limbs in the line of duty. With around 5,000 participants, the event featured 21 km, 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km runs.

Speaking to ANI, Poonia said, "Indian Army jawans, who lost their limbs while fighting for the country, are also participating here. They are in wheelchairs, but their morale is not down. The goal of this run is just one - supporting jawans who lost their limbs while fighting for the country, but did not lose their fighting spirit."

While the technological demonstration is impressive, I hope equal focus is given to the welfare of our soldiers. The story about the Jaipur Soldierathon is deeply moving. We must ensure our veterans who sacrificed so much get the best care and support, not just on event days but every day.

Multi-domain operations are the future. Good to see our forces training for the full spectrum - land, air, cyber, space. This integrated approach is what will give us the edge. The mention of counter-drone systems is particularly important given recent threats.

The spirit of our soldiers is unmatched! 🫡 Reading about the veterans in wheelchairs participating in the run gave me goosebumps. Technology is vital, but the heart of our army will always be its people. Salute to their indomitable courage.

Exercises like Amogh Jwala are essential. But we must ensure this tech absorption happens swiftly across all commands and doesn't remain limited to demonstrations. The real test is operational readiness 24/7, not just during planned exercises. A respectful suggestion for faster deployment.

Network-enabled platforms and real-time decision making... this is how modern wars are won. It's reassuring to know our commanders are thinking ahead. The synergy between the army and air force elements shown here is key for any future scenario.
