Warfare is entering a decisive new era, one shaped less by visible firepower and more by invisible forces such as algorithms, artificial intelligence, data, and emerging technologies. As the boundary between science fiction and reality blurs, military advantage will increasingly belong to those who can master code, computing power, and innovation at speed. The Algorithm of War: Code Compute Conquer - Insights for the Indian Army`s Next Leap examines this transformation through an Indian lens. Drawing on historical lessons and contemporary technological trends, the book explores how disruptive technologies are redefining the character of war and what the Indian Army must do to stay ahead in a complex and volatile strategic environment.
