The Indian Navy is charting a course into the future by embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to enhance its ship systems, command and control infrastructure, and decision-making capabilities. AI has been recognized as a transformative force in naval operations worldwide, with the United States Navy’s Naval Research Laboratory establishing the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence in 1981. The Indian Navy is now following suit, recognizing the immense potential of AI and Machine Learning (AI/ML) applications in modern naval warfare.
The integration of AI technologies into naval operations is centered around two primary areas: autonomous/unmanned systems and decision sciences. These technologies hold the promise of revolutionizing the way navies conduct missions, respond to threats, and enhance situational awareness.
One of the key advantages of AI in naval operations is its ability to process vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently. This capability enables warships to achieve enhanced situational awareness by analyzing data from various sensors, radars, and other sources in real-time. The result is a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the maritime environment, including the presence of potential threats.
Navies worldwide are increasingly turning to AI to empower their fleets. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has recognized the strategic significance of AI, particularly in response to the growing challenges posed by countries like China, which has made substantial advancements in AI technology with strong government support. AI can offer military and economic advantages by enabling faster and more informed decision-making.
