| Developing network centric warfare |
| Creating a information
superhighway in the midst of the battlefield is really a challenging
task but with the advent of new technologies the hyper bandwidth data
flow can knock down the opponent within hours of hostility with an
approach: no kill but all stop. The overall objective is to
generate capability |

| ISR-cum-AWACS technology |
| With the introduction of space based modern technological platforms, militaries are looking for instant and around the clock information superhighways which can lead them to analyze exact nature of threat and fast counter response to neutralize the enemy.
In this regard, the principal function of the intelligence, surveillance |

| Cyber warfare capabilities |
| Since there is a
growing dependence on satellites for maintaining daily life and to
conduct a modern war, the opponents are creating a powerful tool to
counter by employing hacking technologies which can reduce everything to
a standstill within seconds. It is becoming increasingly evident that any future war between modern militaries would be

| Role of C4ISR capability |
| The battlefield is
becoming digital to counter the enemy movement even in the dead of the
night or despite an inclement weather creating hassle for the
advancement in most difficult terrine conditions. The
war cannot stop even for a moment because a single pause can give
enormous advantage to the enemy which will quickly regroup and launch a |

| Role of ISR in warfare |
| The saturation of multispectral beams and increasing presence of electromagnetic radiations in the modern battlefield can be handy on one hand but it can create massive interference which may lead to absolute failure of command and control systems.
This is why militaries around the world are continuously conducting advanced |

| Reusable space vehicle |
| Since the dawn of the space age heralded by the historic launch of Soviet Sputnik way back in October 1957, there has been a growing focus on not only reducing the cost of access to space but also making space journey a routine affair.
For one, the once only used, expendable space boosters currently deployed for orbital missions |

| Satellites for NCW |
| Network Centric Warfare
(NCW) strategy, which in recent years, has emerged as a major force
multiplier in the battlefield operations, draws advantage from the real
time sharing of quality information for an enhanced situational
awareness through a robust communications network ably supported by a
constellation of satellites meant for a variety of

| Evolving technology and PGMs |
| A miss is as good as a mile. The Indian Air Force will probe the reasons for the failure of two of its precision guided munitions-the runway busting US-made Paveway air-to-surface missile and the quick-reaction Soviet era OSA-AK (M) anti-aircraft missile-during Operation Iron Fist in Rajasthan in mid-March. The Iron Fist event was intended to send out a stern message to India’s recalcitrant neighbours. Failures of this kind could well encourage Pakistan to indulge in further misadventures. |

| Nano satellites |
| Like the budget carriers shaping the future of airlines industry, the light weight, cost effective nano satellites are all poised to become a highly affordable facet of space exploration, which, has for long been dominated by “costly and heavy” space platforms. Moreover, the high cost of delivering a satellite payload into the required orbit is a major factor behind the increasing cost of satellite based services. |

| Human mission to Mars |
| Though buffeted by a dwindling fund allocation and a declining political and public support, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of US has initiated work on buildingSpace Launch System (SLS) described as the most powerful rocket ever realized.
As envisaged now, this mega space vehicle is expected to be ready for a take off by
