Fourth edition of tri-services future warfare course to commence in New Delhi
New Delhi, August 2
The fourth edition of the Tri-Services Future Warfare Course will commence at Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi, on Monday.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the four-week course is being conducted under the aegis of the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff (HQ IDS) and coordinated by the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS).
The course brings together officers from the three Services, along with representatives from government organisations, academia, industry and strategic think-tanks.
The curriculum covers a wide range of subjects, including geopolitical developments, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, cyber and cognitive warfare, information warfare, autonomous systems, future operations in the land, maritime, air and space domains, grey-zone operations, multi-domain operations and technology-enabled warfare.
The participants will attend lectures by senior military officers, policymakers, scientists, industry leaders and subject matter experts. The course seeks to promote a joint understanding of emerging operational challenges and encourage informed discussions on issues that are expected to influence the future battlefield.

It's reassuring to see the military focusing on joint training. The future battlefield will not be fought in silos; multi-domain operations are the way forward. I hope more women officers get included in such courses too.
Big fan of how CENJOWS is bringing together industry and academia with the armed forces. This kind of collaboration is critical for indigenization too. We can't rely on foreign tech forever, especially in areas like quantum and AI.
As someone who follows global defense trends, it's great to see India taking these steps. The inclusion of information warfare and cognitive warfare is particularly timely. This course seems very comprehensive for a modern military.
Good initiative, but I hope these courses aren't just for show. We see many such programmes being conducted, but are the takeaways actually implemented in our defense strategy? Just saying. 😕
Brilliant to see grey-zone operations and cognitive warfare in the curriculum! With the kind of hybrid threats we face, this is the need of the hour. The Indian military is definitely thinking ahead.
We talk a lot about future warfare, but our procurement cycles and bureaucratic hurdles are still stuck in the past. This
