In electronic warfare, the cycle of measures, countermeasures, and counter-countermeasures has shrunk from years to just a few weeks. For any country dependent on overseas suppliers, that gap is no longer manageable. It's a strategic liability.
In this conversation, our Co-founder & CEO, Ankit Mehta breaks down why indigenous ownership of the EW technology stack is no longer optional for India and what it practically means for the battlefield of tomorrow. From sovereign chips to AI on the edge to heterogeneous drone teaming, India's EW moment is now.
What we cover:
1. Why external dependency is uniquely dangerous in electronic warfare
2. How owning the EW stack changes deployment speed, adaptability and operational decision-making
3. What happens when adversaries innovate faster than overseas suppliers can respond
4. Why consistent delivery under operational stress matters more than benchmarked capability
5. What electronic sovereignty means for India over the next decade: AI, drones, and the sovereign stack
Key insight: The ability to evolve your EW stack in near real-time, from core software to the edge, is what separates a capable military from one that has equipment but cannot adapt. India's path forward runs through owning that stack, end to end.
