Homegrown military software applications and artificial intelligence tools were extensively employed by the Indian Army during Operation Sindoor to accelerate decision-making and enhance battlefield awareness, a senior officer said on Monday, adding that these capabilities will be further upgraded with a military-specific large language model (LLM) expected to become functional within six months.

Clarifying that the tools were not directed at any specific country but developed to give the Army specific capabilities, Lieutenant General Rajiv Kumar Sahni, Director General of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (DG EME), added that they are meant to be deployed along all of the nation’s borders.
