Defence Advisory & Consulting Services

Enabling Business Opportunities.

OVERVIEW

Historically, militaries fielding innovative technologies have always enjoyed an edge on the battlefield(s).

Technological change and evolving geopolitical realities are leading to two major changes, viz, (i) the Indian Armed Forces are focusing on the future, and backed by large modernization packages, are adopting and integrating the tools of new-age warfare, e.g., artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, UCAVS, Loitering Munitions, etc), advanced electro-optronics and avionics, aerospace elements, etc; and (ii) simultaneously, the Indian defence sector is being reshaped by policy reform and the Defence Acquisition Procedure framework which emphasizes domestic ownership of intellectual property and design capabilities (‘Make in India-Owned by India). Policies like DFP-2026, which give the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) greater financial autonomy to fast-track research, hold potential to speed-up the integration of innovations from private startups and MSMEs. This massive transformation of the Indian defence sector from an import-dependent military to indigenous innovation, manufacturing and technological self-reliance, is also deepening the collaboration between government and industry.

The Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) are also undergoing modernisation, and require new weaponry and support systems.
