In Catalysing Multi-Domain Combat Training, Shantanu Gupta examines how the evolving character of warfare is reshaping military training philosophies. As modern operations increasingly span land, air, maritime, cyber, and information domains simultaneously, traditional training approaches struggle to replicate the complexity and speed of real-world conflict. The article explores how Live–Virtual–Constructive (LVC) integration is emerging as a critical framework for enabling realistic joint mission planning, multi-domain experimentation, and large-scale decision training without the risks and costs associated with full live deployments.
Published in Raksha Anirveda, the piece also highlights the strategic importance of indigenous simulation technologies in strengthening national defence capability. By owning critical design, data, and intellectual property, countries can build adaptable training ecosystems that evolve with changing doctrines and technologies. The article underscores how integrated simulation infrastructures can support continuous learning, mission rehearsal, and operational readiness across modern armed forces.
