FORGING THE FUTURE FORCE: ARMY’S NORTHERN COMMAND CHARTS NEW FRONTIERS IN MULTI DOMAIN WARFARE

Over four days imbued with simulation of intense futuristic conflict scenario and display of astute leadership, a tri-service multidomain exercise has concluded under aegis of HQ Northern Command, with new lessons, improved reflexes and setting of new benchmarks in India’s preparedness for next-generation conflicts.

The exercise challenged commanders, staff and troops with futuristic threats in cyber, space, electromagnetic and cognitive domains. CAPFs, sister services, central government agencies and private sector players participated jointly, underscoring the importance of integrated and whole of a nation approach to continuously evolving security landscape. Participation by indigenous defence industry players set a new benchmark towards achieving Jointness, Atmanirbarta and Innovation.

During the exercise troops deployed in the forwards areas were practiced in situations like cyber intrusion, spectrum saturation, electronic jamming, spoofing and cognitive attacks. Lt Gen Pratik Sharma, Northern Army Commander while interacting with the troops said, “In modern warfare the lines are blurring between domains, so we need to leverage niche technology and keep innovating. A whole of nation approach is required to protect our territorial integrity and critical assets and also unleash punitive action on adversary if the situation so demands”.

Initiated by the thoughtful dialogue during Samvad held at Mathura on Oct 4, the exercise demonstrated that readiness for future warfare begins with open minds and seamless teamwork. The Northern Command now stands better equipped, united and prepared to defend against emergent threats with strategic foresight and multi-domain synergy.
