In a post on X, ADG PI - Indian Army also shared some photos along with a caption titled - "Enabling the Battlefield of Tomorrow with Quantum Tech".
The Indian Army had declared 2024 as the 'Year of Technology Absorption' and is undertaking various initiatives to induct niche technology and systems into its inventory.
"The Indian Army takes a significant leap in harnessing Quantum Technologies with the development of indigenous Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) applications," it posted.
These applications have been developed by the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering (MCTE), Mhow, under the aegis of the Corps of Signals and in alignment with the technology research vision of the Chief of the Army Staff, the post read.
"Post-Quantum Cryptography based solutions are being progressively integrated across Army networks - strengthening capabilities across domains and ensuring Indian Army remains future ready in ever evolving technological landscape. #Atmanirbharta #YearofTechAbsorption #DecadeofTransformation @DefenceMinIndia @SpokespersonMoD @HQ_IDS_India," it posted.

Sea mines, new air defence system, fighter jets, India's weapons worth Rs 100000000000 will send shivers down spine of China and Pakistan
New Delhi: After Operation Sindoor, preparations are underway to make India's army more powerful. The Defense Acquisition Council (DAC), headed by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, is going to hold an important meeting this week, in which proposals worth more than Rs 1 lakh crore can be approved. What is Defense Acquisition Council and its role? This council is the top unit of the Ministry of Defense, which takes decisions to buy big weapons and technology for the Indian Army. In this meeting, many important proposals will be placed for the Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. There will be special emphasis on systems related to surveillance, air defense and maritime security. Its purpose is to make the three forces of the country more modern and strengthen India on the security front. According to a TOI report, the Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) is going to approve many big proposals this week to further strengthen India's defense preparedness. These include two important projects that will take the capabilities of the Army and the Air Force to new heights. How will Indian Army benefit? Under this proposal costing around Rs 30,000 crore, the Indian Army will get the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile System (QRSAM) developed by DRDO. This system is capable of instantly eliminating air threats coming within a range of 30 kilometers. This is considered a big step towards strengthening India's layered air defense i.e. layer-by-layer air security. What is I-STAR aircraft? The Indian Air Force is going to buy three new I-STAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting and Reconnaissance) aircraft. These aircraft will be procured from international manufacturers, which will later be modified in India in collaboration with DRDO's Airborne System Center and private companies. These aircraft will prove to be very effective in providing accurate information in the battlefield, monitoring enemy activities and planning accurate attacks. What will DRDO manufacture? The Indian Navy has proposed to include special mines (landmines) to stop enemy submarines and ships in the sea. These mines have been made by DRDO, which can attack the enemy while staying in the depths of the sea. Other weapons Indian Air Force's 84 Sukhoi-30 MKI (Su-30MKI) fighter jets will now be made more powerful. New weapons, radars and electronic systems will be installed in these aircraft, so that more accurate attacks can be made on the enemy. The Navy is now preparing to bring pilotless underwater drones. These drones will keep an eye on enemy submarines and activities and will help in gathering intelligence.

India's big space mission, will launch 52 satellites to watch every movement of enemy countries like..., every place and location...
(Representational image: New Delhi: After Operation Sindoor, India is preparing to launch not one or two but 52 satellites. All these satellites will work completely for the armed forces. This will help in monitoring every inch of the territory of enemy countries like China and Pakistan. Apart from this, the process of finalizing a special space doctrine for the army is also going on. It is worth noting that during Operation Sindoor, India had monitored various military bases of Pakistan with great success on the basis of satellite system. This helped the Indian Army in setting accurate targets. What is Space Surveillance Programme? This satellite launch by India is a part of the third phase of the Space Based Surveillance Program. This programme was approved in October last year by the Security Cabinet Committee led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Its total cost is Rs 26,968 crore. Under this, ISRO will launch 21 satellites. At the same time, the remaining 31 satellites will be launched by private companies. The first two satellites will be launched in April next year. At the same time, all 52 satellites will be deployed by the end of 2029. Role of Defense Ministry This is part of the Defense Space Agency project, which is being run by the Ministry of Defense. According to the Times of India, sources said that every effort is being made to keep the deadline for the launch of these satellites within the scope. At present, contracts have been signed with three private companies. All of them have been asked to complete their work very fast. How much area will be covered? According to the information, the goal of SBS-3 is to monitor as many areas of China and Pakistan as possible. Apart from this, the area of the Indian Ocean will also be monitored. Apart from this, work is also going on fast regarding Space Doctrine. Along with this, the Indian Air Force is engaged in the preparation of three High Altitude Platform System aircraft. These aircraft will be unmanned and will run on the basis of satellite.

India To Discuss Spy Planes, Air Defence Systems, Sea Mines In Key Acquisition Meet
At a time when the Operation Sindoor is still on, the Defence Acquisition Council, led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, is scheduled to meet this week to take up proposals worth over Rs one lakh crore for modernising the defence forces are expected to be taken up for clearance. The list of proposals worth over Rs one lakh crore for buying equipment for modernisation has been listed in the meeting agenda planned around the end of this week, defence sources told ANI. To strengthen the air defence capabilities of the country, the Quick Reaction Surface-to-air missile system made by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) would be taken up for clearance for the Indian Army. The project, worth around Rs 30,000 crore, would be critical for the Indian Army's air defence capabilities as the system can be effective against targets up to 30 km. The Indian Air Force would be putting up a proposal for buying three spy planes to keep a track of enemy activities on the ground under the I-STAR programme. The Intelligence, Surveillance, Targetting and Reconnaissance aircraft would be critical for the Air Force's plans to take out ground targets in the future, the sources said. The three aircraft would be acquired from an original equipment manufacturer and then be modified by the DRDO lab Centre for Airborne Systems in partnership with private partners. The Indian Navy would also be fielding a proposal for DRDO-developed Pressure-based Moored Mines at the meeting, which are to be used for targeting enemy submarines and surface ships. The project for upgrading the capabilities of the 84 Su-30MKI fighter jets is also expected to come up for discussion. The project has already been given the go-ahead by the DAC earlier. Underwater autonomous vessels are also scheduled to be taken up for clearance by the DAC, which would be meeting for the first time after the Operation Sindoor. The DAC is the highest body in the defence ministry for capital procurements for modernisation.
