Mechanised Forces | Forging the Future of Warfare
#GeneralDhirajSeth, #COAS, delivered an address on ‘Vision for Future Warfighting in the Indian Subcontinent’ at the Mechanised Forces Symposium 2026, held at Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi. The symposium brought together senior military leadership, veterans, defence scientists, industry representatives and strategic thinkers to deliberate on the evolving character of warfare and future battlefield challenges.
The #COAS emphasised that transformation extends beyond modernisation of equipment, requiring a culture of innovation, technological adaptability and agility, with the #Yoddha at its core. Highlighting jointness, integration and #Atmanirbharta as key enablers, he underscored the importance of indigenous capability development and stronger industry-academia partnerships.
Commending the Mechanised Forces for their enduring legacy, the #COAS highlighted their pivotal role in future warfighting and reiterated the #IndianArmy's commitment to building a technology-enabled, future ready force, guided by the vision of #VIJAY. The #COAS also unveiled the book “Armour 2040: Steel, Silicon & The Future Battlespace”, authored by Lt Gen AB Shivane (Retd).
