Introduction and Overview

- The Indian Army is conducting a high-intensity multi-service military exercise, 'Poorvi Prahar', in the strategic forward locations of Arunachal Pradesh.

- The military exercise seeks to enhance the combat proficiency of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, particularly in coalescing and executing Integrated Joint Operations in the challenging topography of the region.

 

Objectives and Military Technologies

- The exercise brings together a broad range of modern military platforms and systems, highlighting India’s progress in contemporary warfare technology.

- This includes the integration of innovative technologies that are revolutionising the nature of military operations.

- The troops are using and improving skills with Swarm Drones, First Person View (FPV) Drones, and Loitering Munitions. These cutting-edge technologies significantly bolster situational awareness, precision strikes, and operational flexibility.

- The integration of these advanced tools signifies the military's dedication to leveraging next-generation technologies to strengthen defence capacities.

 

Collaboration and Operations

- The exercise aims to improve the synthesis and utilisation of advanced technological tools and joint command structures that enhance cooperation across different military services.

- A paramount aspect of the exercise is the development of a Common Operating Picture (COP) via joint control arrangements that streamline coordination between terrestrial, aerial, and naval forces.

- Real-time information is fluently disseminated via systems employing satellite communications, supported by AI-driven analytics. This facilitates more accurate decision-making and quicker response times.

 

Impact and Significance

- By executing Ex Poorvi Prahar, the Indian Armed Forces are augmenting their capacity to perform harmonious, multi-domain operations across land, air, and sea domains.

- This, in turn, solidifies India’s strategic deterrence capabilities, contributing to the broader defence strategy of the nation.
