WARDEC Hosts Conference to Enhance AI-Driven Wargaming in Indian Military Strategy
On September 18, 2025, the Wargaming Development Centre (WARDEC) marked a significant achievement in military innovation by hosting a collaborative conference. This event assembled officers from all Regional War Centres, WARDEC scientists, and prominent military strategists with the objective of advancing computer-based wargaming techniques and bolstering India's readiness for contemporary warfare challenges.
The primary agenda of the conference was the enhancement of wargame methodologies, the streamlining of training protocols, and the effective use of software. Participants were introduced to sophisticated simulation systems developed by WARDEC, highlighting India's advancing capabilities in military simulation technology.
Experts in defense have noted that AI-driven wargames have the potential to improve strategic decision-making by up to 30%, a practice already implemented by other leading military forces such as those in the United States and Israel.
There was also an indication of potential international cooperation, as the presence of various national flags and multiple defense representatives at the event led to speculation about upcoming joint exercises or strategic dialogues.
Through the integration of artificial intelligence, simulation, and metaverse technologies, WARDEC's current initiative is poised to revolutionize training, planning, and operational readiness within the Indian Army. Officials also mentioned that this progress could foster regional defense collaboration, ensuring that India retains a technological advantage in an increasingly dynamic security landscape.
