India’s future military strength will depend not only on fighter aircraft and warships but also on artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, drones and resilient industrial systems, Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit said at a defence conclave in Mumbai. He said modern warfare is changing rapidly and called on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to become long-term partners in India’s national security framework. The remarks were made during a day-long conclave on ‘Atmanirbharta in Defence – Opportunities for MSMEs’ hosted by the Bramha Research Foundation with support from the Indian Navy in Mumbai.
