Abstract | In order to tackle changing security concerns and preserve air dominance in the twenty-first century, modernizing the Indian Air Force (IAF) is an essential undertaking. This article examines how the IAF's modernization strategy and developing technologies interact, examining important topics such technical developments, obstacles faced, and anticipated future paths. The article outlines how cutting-edge technologies like as artificial intelligence (AI), hypersonic, stealth technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and cybersecurity are transforming air combat and improving the IAF's operational capabilities. It describes the IAF's modernization path via a historical perspective, including significant turning points, purchases, and strategic efforts. It also clarifies current modernization plans and aims in light of changing geopolitical dynamics and security concerns. I explore issues such as financial limitations, outdated technology, and the complexities of incorporating new technologies into preexisting frameworks in the midst of the modernization push. It also emphasizes how important it is to create human capital in order to run and maintain sophisticated systems, which is especially important given the rapid evolution of technology and the need for qualified workers. The article outlines prospective paths for IAF modernization, which include incorporating autonomous systems, implementing cyber resilience strategies, investigating disruptive technologies, and implementing sustainable practices. It offers suggestions for resolving issues and seizing opportunities for legislators, defense planners, and industry participants, stressing the importance of consistent funding, strategic planning, and flexible leadership as the pillars of effective modernization initiatives. Finally, the article emphasises the vital role that developing technologies will play in determining the direction of air combat and the significance of proactive modernization initiatives for national security. The Indian Air Force (IAF) can effectively negotiate the intricacies of contemporary warfare and uphold its reputation as a powerful force protecting the country's skies by embracing innovation, promoting teamwork, and allocating resources towards human capital. |
