¨     Indian Army developed two AI-based digital systems in 2026 named Kautilya and Q-FORCE.

¨     These systems aim to strengthen command intelligence, logistics management, and data-driven military operations.

¨     Kautilya is an AI-powered command intelligence platform.

¨     It was launched during 21–25 May 2026.

¨     It uses AI-enabled dashboards and Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based interfaces.

¨     It processes data related to personnel, weapons, equipment, training, logistics, rations, and operational readiness.

¨     It supports tablet-based data entry.

¨     It acts as an AI co-pilot for administrative and operational tasks.

¨     Q-FORCE is an integrated digital application for logistics and sustainment management.

¨     It was launched around 22–25 May 2026.

¨     It is designed to streamline inventory management, supply chain management, and maintenance operations.

¨     It can be used across different terrains and operational conditions.

¨     It integrates multiple logistics and inventory platforms into a single system.

¨     The Indian Army described these platforms as part of its broader shift toward AI and data-centric warfare systems.

¨     The Army declared 2026 as the “Year of Networking and Data Centricity.”

¨     The Army aims to achieve full AI integration in military operations by 2027.

¨     AI technologies were also used during Operation Sindoor.

¨     Under Project Sanjay, 23 AI applications, including ECAS and Trinetra, were deployed.
