India has determined an ambitious plan to strengthen its nuclear intimidation and expanding the capabilities of drone war in the technological perspective and abilities (TPCR-2025), a 15-year plan for military readiness.
The document emphasizes measures to maintain credible nuclear deterrence through survival systems and advanced delivery platforms. Although it avoids a link to specific head technologies, it outlines future acquisitions such as nuclear and control infrastructure, radiation detection tools and mobile decontamination units. There are also unmanned vehicles for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) survey, which aims to strengthen protection against potential nuclear or chemical fallout.
On the air front, the army assumed the requirements for stealth remotely piloted aircraft with ranges of up to 1,500 km and an altitude of 60,000 feet. These drones would carry electronic payload of war, NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) detection equipment and even lead artillery fire.
The plan also emphasizes the loadering of ammunition aimed at performing accurate strikes with targeting artificial intelligence and repeatedly usable head systems. In addition, integrated supervision and target drones are expected to strengthen the capabilities of the mechanized forces battlefield.

India is also preparing for the emerging threat of enemy swarms of drones. The TPCR-2025 assumes adaptive disturbing systems and electronic denial bubbles with a 15 km radius to neutralize these attacks, underlining the growing meaning of the electronic war in modern struggle.
Officials stated that initiatives are closely in accordance with government independence in defense production by reducing dependence on foreign imports.
With the TPCR-2025 India, it has indicated a strategic shift towards integrated deterrence-combining nuclear resistance, electronic warfare and unmanned strike platform-K Strengthening national security in the coming decades.
