New Delhi: High-intensity tri-services exercise, Exercise Poorvi Prahar is being conducted by the Indian Army from November 10 to 18, 2024 in the forward areas of Arunachal Pradesh, a press release said on November 13.
The large-scale, joint exercise aims to hone the combat effectiveness of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force in executing integrated joint operations in the challenging mountainous terrain of the region, thereby enhancing inter-service coordination and operational readiness.
The exercise brings together a wide spectrum of cutting-edge military platforms and systems, showcasing India’s advancements in modern warfare technology, according to the Indian Army. Participating forces from all three services are utilising advanced fighter aircraft, reconnaissance platforms, helicopters such as the Chinook and Advanced Light Helicopter (Rudra), along with M777 Ultra-Light Howitzers, which are newly inducted into the artillery units. These state-of-the-art assets provide an unprecedented level of mobility, firepower, and precision in the region’s challenging topography.
The integration of innovative technologies that are reshaping the future of military operations is a key feature of Exercise Poorvi Prahar. Troops are operating and refining skills with Swarm Drones, First Person View (FPV) Drones, Loitering Munitions, and cutting-edge technologies that dramatically enhance situational awareness, precision strikes, and operational flexibility.
According to the release, the incorporation of these tools into the exercise reflects the military’s commitment to leveraging next-generation technologies to bolster defence capabilities.
Ex Poorvi Prahar serves as a platform for further absorption and integration of advanced technological tools and joint command structures that improve collaboration across services. One of the core components of the exercise is the development of a Common Operating Picture (COP) through joint control structures that optimise coordination between ground, air, and naval forces.
Powered by AI-driven analytics, real-time information is seamlessly shared through systems operating on satellite communications, enabling more precise decision-making and faster response times. The use of AI and satellite communication technologies is pivotal in optimising multi-service operations, ensuring that commanders have access to a comprehensive, real-time view of the battlefield. This technological integration allows forces to act with greater precision, agility, and coordination, making the joint forces more adaptable to the evolving nature of warfare.
Reinforcing India’s strategic deterrence capabilities, the Exercise Poorvi Prahar underscores India’s determination to maintain a robust and adaptable defence posture along its Eastern frontier, especially in context of evolving regional dynamics.
Enhancing their ability to execute seamless, multi-domain operations across land, air, and sea while ensuring the nation’s readiness to meet future security challenges, the Indian Armed Forces continue to stay at the forefront of military excellence.
