In his remarks as Guest of Honor at a seminar and exhibition on “Technology Enabled Sensor-Decision-Shooter superiority” organized jointly by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS), he underscored the achievements of the armed forces in achieving synergy and transparency in numerous sensor and shooter capabilities, including integration of latest communication and artificial intelligence technologies.

The CDS said that the OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) cycle needs to be of a higher tempo to be in step with the pace of warfighting made possible with cutting-edge technologies.
