Singh announced that the first edition of ADITI will have a total of 17 challenges, encompassing various aspects of the Indian Army (3),
Indian Navy (5),
Indian Air Force (5), and Defence Space Agency (4).
These start-ups are poised to revolutionize defense capabilities, advance national security, and safeguard national interests through their groundbreaking innovations in artificial intelligence and robotics, undersea detection and communication, unmanned aerial vehicles, wearable technology, blast and ballistics proof structures and equipment, smart textiles, and cyber security.
