MILITARY POWER SYSTEMS & ENERGY SUMMIT 2027

Powering the Next Generation of Military Capability

Air Force Auditorium, New Delhi  |    9 July 2027

Modern military capability is increasingly dependent on the availability of reliable, compact, intelligent and resilient power.

From combat aircraft, naval platforms and armoured vehicles to UAVs, counter-UAS systems, radars, electronic warfare, communications, directed-energy systems and soldier-worn equipment, the demand for electrical power is growing rapidly. At the same time, forces operating in remote and contested environments require energy systems that are lighter, smarter, more efficient, secure and capable of operating independently for longer periods.

The Military Power Systems & Energy Summit 2027, organised by the Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPSS) and Indian Military Review (IMR), will bring together senior leaders from the Armed Forces, government, defence industry, technology companies, research organisations and the wider aerospace and defence ecosystem to examine the technologies and solutions required to power India's future military capability.

The Summit will provide an opportunity to understand emerging operational requirements, showcase advanced technologies and engage directly with stakeholders shaping the modernisation of India's Armed Forces.

From Power Generation to Energy Resilience

The military power challenge is no longer simply about generating electricity.

It encompasses the complete energy ecosystem—from generation, conversion and storage to distribution, management, mobility and intelligent control.

The 2027 Summit will examine how next-generation power technologies can enable:

• Longer endurance for unmanned and autonomous systems
• Greater electrical power availability on combat platforms
• Reduced dependence on vulnerable fuel and power infrastructure
• Energy resilience for forward operating bases and strategic installations
• More efficient operation of sensors, communications and electronic warfare systems
• Rapid charging and energy storage for increasingly electrified military equipment
• Reduced size, weight and thermal burden of power systems
• Reliable operation in extreme environmental and contested conditions
• Integration of renewable, hybrid and conventional energy sources
• Intelligent monitoring, control and management of military energy networks

Why This Matters to Defence Industry

India's defence modernisation is creating opportunities across the entire military energy and power technology value chain.

The transition towards electrification, autonomous systems, high-energy sensors, directed-energy technologies, advanced electronics and network-centric operations will require new approaches to power generation, storage, conversion, distribution and thermal management.

For technology companies, system integrators and component manufacturers, this creates opportunities not only as suppliers of individual products, but as partners in developing the next generation of military platforms and infrastructure.

The Summit provides a focused environment to engage with the organisations that define these requirements.
