APPLICATION OF GENERATIVE AI FOR KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT & ANALYSIS IN THE INDIAN ARMY

The Indian Army can leverage Generative AI for secure, on-premise knowledge management, operational analysis, and strategic decision-making. The system integrates multi-format data, enabling real-time intelligence retrieval, AI-powered decision support, and automated report generation. It enhances training, cross-unit collaboration, and cybersecurity through AI-driven threat detection and response. Deployment involves phased implementation, from data collection to full-scale adoption across commands. Key applications include intelligence analysis, predictive maintenance, war gaming, UAV coordination, and logistics optimization. By harnessing AI, the Army can enhance battlefield awareness, improve decision-making, and strengthen national security while maintaining full control over sensitive military data.
