In a bid to revolutionise its capabilities at the India-China border, the Indian Army is set to soon release its blueprint on setting up an AI-based system, reports India Today.

The blueprint will be aimed to help India compete with China in the aspect of adopting AI-based technologies; it can use this advanced technology to minimise errors and to mobilise troops in a faster manner owing to smart surveillance systems.

With the adoption of AI-based surveillance systems, the Indian Army will be able to reduce its dependence on the foot patrolling by soldiers to keep vigil which also often leads to shortfalls and errors. The AI-based applications will help the force pinpoint accurately when something suspicious or worrisome take place in the security grid and watch.

For this purpose, the Indian Army is set to organise a brainstorming session in Hisar in which industry representatives and experts will also be taking part to focus on how AI can be used to increase the efficiency and efficacy of the mechanised warfare. The session would boost engagement between the Indian Army, industry and academia to pursue the goal.
