CDS Unveils ‘VAYU’ Portal to Transform Indian Defense Logistics

New digital platform promises faster repair cycles, enhanced interoperability, and a boost to India’s defense self-reliance goals.

In a major step towards defense modernization and technological self-reliance, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan today launched the ‘VAYU’ Portal at the Central Aviation Support Depot (CASD). Developed jointly by the Indian Army and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), this advanced digital platform is set to revolutionize military logistics through real-time, secure information sharing.

The ‘VAYU’ Portal, short for Virtual Automation towards Yielding Unification, aims to streamline repair cycles, with HAL estimating a reduction of up to 30% in turnaround time. The initiative reinforces India’s Atmanirbharta and MakeInIndia missions, reflecting a decisive move away from reliance on foreign defense technology.

Taking cues from systems like the U.S. Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), the portal integrates an Inter-Organizational Information Sharing (IOIS) system for seamless coordination between stakeholders. A RAND Corporation study commended similar frameworks for boosting operational efficiency and resilience, underscoring the portal’s potential to become a model for international defense cooperation.

A group photograph captured the moment, symbolizing the unified push towards next-generation defense capabilities.
