What happened?
In July 2025, the Indian Army conducted a high-altitude technology demonstration exercise named Divya Drishti in East Sikkim. The exercise, led by the Trishakti Corps, tested advanced systems for surveillance, battlefield awareness, and rapid decision-making. It featured the use of UAVs, drones, and AI-enabled sensors integrated with secure networks to enable real-time data sharing between frontline troops and command centres.
Why it matters to India
Divya Drishti reflects the Army’s push towards modernisation and technological self-reliance. It strengthens the Army’s ability to respond quickly and operate effectively across challenging terrains. The insights from this exercise will help shape future operational tactics under the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision and the Army’s Decade of Transformation roadmap.
