New Delhi: Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan on Thursday released a comprehensive document for the integration of the four pillars of quantum technologies into the tri-services to prepare them for a future battlefield and to achieve technological dominance in a rapidly evolving world.
The ‘Military Quantum Mission Policy Framework’ includes the policy and the roadmap to implement quantum technologies in the armed forces.
The vision document defines the way ahead to achieve synergy in the amalgamation of quantum technologies, alignment with the National Quantum Mission, of which the defence forces are an integral part, and formulates an indicative roadmap and policy for implementation of this niche field in the defence forces, the defence ministry said in a statement.
The vision document defines the way ahead to achieve synergy in the amalgamation of quantum technologies, align with the National Quantum Mission — of which the Defence Forces are an integral part — and formulate an indicative roadmap and policy for implementing this niche field within the Defence Forces.
It will form the basis for incorporating cutting‑edge quantum technology into the Armed Forces through the synergised efforts of all three services. The document underscores the increasing need for the assimilation of these niche technologies from a defence perspective and highlights the milestones and goals to be achieved by utilising civil‑military fusion through dedicated governing bodies consisting of members across multiple government sectors. The framework also emphasises the critical need for jointness and integration in assimilating this technology to achieve technological supremacy on future battlefields.
Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi and IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh were present on the occasion.
