TROPEX is a tri-service exercise that integrates naval, air force, and army assets to simulate a wide spectrum of security challenges.

TROPEX is designed to test the Indian Navy's operational preparedness, combat readiness, and ability to conduct complex maritime security and warfare operations.

The Indian Navy recently concluded its major biannual theatre-level readiness operational exercise, TROPEX 2026.

The Agni-V, with its long-range capability, significantly bolsters India's strategic deterrence posture.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is responsible for the development of the Agni series of missiles, including Agni-V.

The Agni-V is India's first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and has a strike range of over 5,000 km.

Generative AI can create entirely new molecular structures that have never been synthesized before, tailored to target specific disease pathways.

Tropical diseases are often 'neglected', and AI helps lower the R&D costs, making it more viable for researchers to develop treatments.

AI models can simulate how different molecules interact with disease-causing proteins, significantly reducing the time required for initial screening.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the workhorse of ISRO, frequently used for launching remote sensing satellites like OceanSat into Sun-Synchronous Orbits.
