The Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief, Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari, discussed how new-age technologies such as AI, quantum computing, robotics, and autonomous systems have changed the way future wars will be fought. India has already operationalised autonomous SWARM drones and is testing loitering munitions, autonomous load carrying mules, and jet packs. The IAF Chief listed hypersonic weapons, long-range radars, and AI-based autonomous systems as some systems that can be a deciding factor in a future war.
