Sarvam and HQ IDS establish joint framework for AI adoption across the Army, Navy and Air Force

Sarvam signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff (HQ IDS) under the Ministry of Defence, creating an umbrella framework for AI projects across the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force and HQ IDS joint organisations. Under the MoU, Sarvam will design, develop and deploy AI applications for operational, training and decision-support needs and provide follow-on technical support, with work carried out by its firewalled division Chanakya using its AI stack including Sarvam 105B. Focus areas include decision support, target acquisition and data fusion across the sensor-to-shooter loop, with human oversight retained on operational decisions and deployment on sovereign infrastructure.
