The Indian Army launched two indigenous AI platforms named Kautilya and Q-FORCE on May 25, 2026, to strengthen data-driven decision-making and improve operational efficiency. Kautilya is designed for structured data generation, advanced analytics, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) interfaces, enabling faster interpretation of battlefield and administrative data. Q-FORCE focuses on logistics optimisation, inventory control, and sustainment support across diverse terrains, ensuring efficient resource management in operations. These initiatives are part of the Army’s broader roadmap, where 2026 is designated as the Year of Networking and Data Centricity, with full AI integration targeted by 2027 to modernise military operations.
