Modern conflicts are increasingly fought in invisible domains. Cyber and electronic warfare have become decisive factors in strategic competition โ capable of disabling critical infrastructure, blinding adversary sensors, and disrupting command-and-control networks without a single conventional weapon being fired.
India has recognised this reality and is investing significantly in building robust cyber and electronic warfare capabilities. The Defence Cyber Agency (DCyA), established in 2019, coordinates offensive and defensive cyber operations across the three services.
DRDO's work on Electronic Warfare suites โ deployed on aircraft, ships, and ground platforms โ has progressed substantially, with systems like the Divyastra advanced electronic warfare suite receiving operational clearance.
Key focus areas include signal intelligence (SIGINT), secure communications, electromagnetic spectrum management, cyber hardening of defence networks, and AI-enabled threat detection. India is also engaging partners like the USA, Israel, France, and Japan on joint EW development.
Bharat Defence Tech Show (BDTS) 2026 brings together India's leading cyber defence organisations, EW platform developers, and policy architects for focused dialogue on securing India's digital battlespace.
