2 A CENJOWS - IMR Event Military Simulation, Wargaming and Robotic Systems for the Indian Armed Forces As the 1.3 million strong Indian Armed Forces modernise and induct new platforms and complex surveillance and delivery means, the need to transform training philosophy, modify and improve the present training infrastructure and methods, introduce new training technologies to save costs and get better results in terms of skill sets and efficiency has never been greater. Over 50,000 young aspirants are drafted into the Indian Armed Forces every year and put through training of varying periods from 20 to 65 weeks. Over 1,500 officer cadets join four different colleges for commission into the armed forces every year. Thousands of officers undergo post-commission training in 40 different institutions. At any one time, at least 6,000 officers remain under training. Simulated Training The Army will continue to be deployed for fighting in sub-conventional operations in the foreseeable future. Therefore, desired capacities have to be built into the recruitment system, training philosophy and methodology, training infrastructure in training academies, regimental training centres, divisional training schools and schools of instruction to produce highly capable officers and soldiers to meet the future warfare challenges efficiently. The most cost-effective methodology for training is simulated training. This creates a realistic environment to generate near-real responses to various contingencies as well as handling of complex weapon systems, without the need to go outdoors and use operational equipment. It also saves transportation costs and ammunition. Sustained training and a better grasp of next-generation equipment with new technologies is required. Emphasis is on enhancement of technical levels, dual-trade training, multi-tasking and training the trainers. Modern methods of training are being introduced with enhanced use of simulators. Wargaming The Indian armed forces are pursuing the idea of wargaming, simulators and high cost training aids with the seriousness that they deserve. Until a few years ago, they could not afford the luxury of such aids. The inventory of these toys was rudimentary - manual driving simulators, pyrotechnics, indoor ranges, manual jury-based wargames, sand model wargaming and so on. Today, the armed forces boast of full motion cockpit simulators, computer assisted wargames, virtual battlefield modelling and so on. But, has the investment been worth it? Does it provide the bang for the buck? Has it improved efficiency and combat capabilities? Have we done enough? And are we laying enough emphasis on wargaming and simulation?

3 A CENJOWS - IMR Event Computerisedwargames are an excellent means to simulate as-close-as-possible scenarios and conditions of war through a system of capability ratios, multiplication factors, movement tables, random numbers and so on. But the armed forces lack quantified data, compilation of which is a scientific process involving great deal of study and research. The biggest challenge is access and affordability. State-of-the-art computing requires that simulators be large dedicated systems residing in specialised facilities. But advances in computers have made it possible to deliver some of the experiences to the desktops. There are stringent controls on military IT systems which have to be taken care of. Military Robotics Systems The Indian armed forces have begun to use ribotic systems to carry out tasks without risking human life. The possibilities are huge when it comes to using them to carry out what are commonly termed D3 or Dull, Dirty and Dangerous roles. In recent times robotic and autonomous vehicles have been extensively used in high conflict and risk areas in Iraq and Afghanistan saving several lives and surgically clearing IED's, roadside bombs and unexploded ordinances. The US Talon robot for anti-ied missions, PackBot by irobot, Guardium autonomous observation and target intercept system by G-NIUS, a joint venture between IAI and Elbit Systems have drawn the attention of the paramilitary and the armed forces. DRDO's Daksh, remote-controlled robot on wheels, is already in use. There are two types of ground based robotic vehicles required for the military in conflict situations in the near future. The first is a small remotely controlled robot which can be carried by soldiers on their backpacks in the battlefield having the capability of integrating sensor modules which vary with the mission requirements. The second type of vehicle is an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for urban combat, homeland security, assisting troops in patrolling, recconnaissance and logistics. Domestic and imported tehnologies will play a major role in development of such systems, which is not without attendant challenges, given the level of expertise available in the country. Objectives of the Seminar Bring together industry, government and military professionals working on weapons and aerospace simulators, wargaming, Network Centric Warfare simulation, communications modeling, and human machine interfaces and virtual reality. Bring together the military robotics community to understand the requirements, work being done in this field and latest technologies on offer. Provide a forum to the armed forces to project their requirements and interface with industry for better understanding. Provide an opportunity to industry to present their capabilities.

4 About the organisers The Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS) was raised at the initiative of Ministry of Defence in 2007 to rise above sectoral and departmental legacies and examine joint warfare and synergy issues in their entirety. It provide much needed interface between various stakeholders, viz, the government, public and private sector, academia, NGOs and civil society. It initiates debates and discussions in independent and unbiased milieu for emergence of best possible alternatives. It organises a Nuclear Orientation Capsule for the Senior Armed Forces Officers periodically. IMR Media publishes the flagship Indian Military Review monthly magazine, which is today the No 1 monthly defence magazine in India with pan-india news-stand distribution. It covers national defence, homeland security, neighbourhood, modernisation, defence research, military technology, paramilitary forces and military history. IMR is recommended reading for services officers preparing for Staff College entrance and promotion exams. Defense News USA is an exclusive partner of IMR. The Indian Defence Yearbook, also published by IMR Media is an annual compendium of all matters concerning defence and security for the whole year, including defence expenditure, new acquisitions, defence research and all important developments. The inaugural issue was released by the President of India in Sixteen issues have been published since then. IMR Media organises seven defence conferences & exhibition in the year - Night Vision India, CBRNe Protection India, Precision Attack & Targeting, Military Simulation & Training, Maritime & Coastal Security India, Air Defence India and UV India.
