One of the realities of war is that the speed of adaptation on the ground is changing rapidly; people are evolving their countermeasures, says Ankit Mehta (@ankit_ideaForge), Co-founder and CEO, ideaForge #RhythmOfTheNewWorldOrder #WIONWorldPulse

Modern conflicts are increasingly defined not just by platforms - but by the technologies that enable them to operate in contested environments. From #electronicwarfare and #GPS disruption to the growing role of #AI in decision support, drones today are being pushed to operate with greater resilience, intelligence, and coordination. This shift has made one thing clear: effectiveness is no longer about the drone alone. It’s about how well systems such as sensors, secure communications, onboard processing, navigation, and #EW resilience work together to deliver reliable performance in real-world conditions. Our latest #infographic breaks down the core building blocks behind modern UAV effectiveness - and what enables these systems to perform when it matters most. Take a closer look👇 💬 In your view, what’s becoming the biggest challenge for drone operations today - connectivity, autonomy, or resilience? #dronetechnology #uav #defencetechnology #militaryinnovation #ideaForge #modernwarfare

On the Combat Frontiers panel with Florence Gaub, @Gen_RajShukla @TomTugendhat @nicolange_ @benedettabertiw - adaptation cycles are now weeks, not years, #Supplychains are the new strategic layer, & people must be trained to operate with greater autonomy @orfonline #Raisina2026

At @raisinadialogue 2026, conversations on stage & off reinforced something I've been thinking about for a while. The #global security architecture is at an inflection point. Legacy institutions were designed for slower cycles & cleaner boundaries. That world no longer exists.

Recent conflicts have made one thing clear - #Drones are no longer just tools for surveillance. Across #modernbattlefields, unmanned systems are increasingly shaping how missions are planned and executed. What began as #ISR platforms providing aerial visibility has evolved into a diverse ecosystem supporting precision strike, #tactical reconnaissance, #loitering systems, #swarm operations, #AI-enabled autonomy, and battlefield #logistics. From enabling real-time intelligence and artillery targeting to supporting coordinated multi-drone operations and rapid resupply, drone technology continues to expand the possibilities for modern military operations. Our latest #infographic explores how #militarydrone capabilities have evolved, and how these systems are becoming more connected, intelligent, and mission-ready. Take a look at the evolution👇 💬 Which drone capability do you think will define the next phase of #modernwarfare? #DroneTechnology #UAVInnovation #MilitaryTech

Ankit goes deeper on sovereign EW, AI on the edge and what India's strategic autonomy looks like in practice. Full conversation here - youtube.com/watch?v=Z_aDuS…

Across active conflict zones today, #ElectronicWarfare is evolving faster than most defence systems can respond. The loop of measures, countermeasures, and counter-countermeasures has shrunk to just a few weeks. This is exactly why homegrown EW capability is no longer optional. Owning the stack means owning the ability to adapt, evolve, and deliver at the pace the battlefield demands. Our Co-founder and CEO @ankit_ideaForge shares why indigenisation of the EW stack is central to India's #StrategicAutonomy - and what that journey looks like from #sovereign technology stacks to #AI on the edge and faster operational adaptability.

This #NationalScienceDay, themed Women in Science: Catalysing Viksit Bharat, is a powerful reminder: progress belongs to those who dare to think and build differently - across genders, disciplines, and generations. That spirit is what #ideaForge was founded on. 19 years ago, we asked - What if India could design and build its own drones? We chose to build. And we built differently. Now we're asking: Who Are The Next Idiots? An open deep-tech #entrepreneurship initiative in partnership with @ecell_iitb. Not a hackathon. Not a competition. A call to the bold, the builders, and those who refuse to accept impossible as an answer. Join the waitlist - ideaforgetech.com/lp/who-are-the… P.S. Open for students and early innovators across Maharashtra. #WhoAreTheNextIdiots #WomenInScience #DeepTech #BuildDifferently #ViksitBharat

Our whitepaper dives deeper into how drone data is being transformed into actionable insights using AI and cloud analytics across industries. Download it here - ideaforgetech.com/resources/whit…

Industrial teams don’t struggle to collect #dronedata - they struggle to turn it into decisions. From #LiDAR in mining to #thermal inspections in manufacturing and #progresstracking in construction, each flight generates massive volumes of imagery. But when analysis relies on manual review or isolated #datasets, insights arrive too late to prevent risks or inefficiencies. As our Co-founder & CEO @ankit_ideaForge explains, “Training AI only on a customer’s own data takes significantly longer. Using larger, anonymised, opt-in datasets enables faster, more accurate insights - without exposing proprietary information.” Our latest blog, drawing from insights in our #whitepaper How Drones are Powering the New Wave of Industrial Growth, explores how solutions such as #FLYGHTCLOUD automate drone data analysis across #mining, #manufacturing, and #construction.
