The Indian Army will soon get help from artificial intelligence to analyse threats during operations, especially in sensitive areas like Jammu and Kashmir. The ministry of defence is planning to equip the army with an AI-based threat assessment software that can be linked to national databases such as UIDAI and MoRTH.
According to an official communication, this software will be used to “track vehicular movement, monitor online presence of individuals, including on social media platforms, and derive linkages and patterns”.
The software will help the army in tracking and predicting incidents and the reason behind acquiring such a software is that operations require a detailed threat assessment. As of now, details of threat assessment are not available with either security forces or law enforcing agencies but only restricted information is available in the form of registers, both at company operating base (COB) levels and with other headquarters.
“Since the data is either non-existent or is recorded in legacy formats (documents and registers), no methods are available with SF for historic correlation of incidents due to which incidents cannot be tracked or predicted,” the official communication states.
