Indian Army to Adapt to Non-Contact Warfare
The Indian Army is preparing for a new type of warfare where battles are fought without direct contact, like using cyber tools and space technology.
Lt Gen Adosh Kumar said that because of advancements, contact on the battlefield isn't necessary.
The military aims to use technology such as surveillance, cyber operations, and precision strikes to defeat enemies while keeping their own soldiers safe.
The goal is for India to lead in this non-contact warfare, and the current strategies and practices should be developed.
They also need to build reliable space-based systems to be independent.
Non-contact warfare is becoming the new norm.
Modern conflicts increasingly rely on remote power.
The Indian Army must adapt to this transformation.
Surveillance is the foundation of non-contact warfare.
Indigenous, reliable systems are needed for space-based assets.
