AI in Defence: The New Architecture of Modern Warfare

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept in defence—it is actively redefining how wars are planned, fought, and prevented. AI in Defence is a Global Eye Intelligence report that delivers a comprehensive assessment of how AI technologies are transforming military operations, strategic balance, and national security architectures worldwide, with a dedicated focus on India’s evolving defence posture.

The report examines AI applications across predictive analytics, autonomous systems, drones, cybersecurity, logistics optimisation, and real-time battlefield awareness. It analyses global developments led by the United States, China, and Russia, while detailing India’s initiatives through institutions such as DRDO, the Defence AI Project Agency (DAIPA), and the Defence AI Council. From AI-enabled swarms and smart munitions to cyber and electronic warfare, the report maps how speed, precision, and decision-making superiority are becoming decisive force multipliers.

Crucially, the analysis addresses ethical risks, AI arms-race dynamics, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and governance challenges—offering mitigation strategies and policy recommendations for responsible adoption. For policymakers, defence professionals, investors, and strategic analysts, this report provides foresight into how AI will shape deterrence, escalation control, and future conflict environments.

Wars of the future will be decided by algorithms long before soldiers deploy. Those who understand AI in defence early will shape power—those who don’t will react too late. Follow Global Eye Intelligence to stay ahead of emerging military and strategic transformations.
