Dixit: India Must Enhance Surveillance Amidst Evolving Threats
A military official talked about how warfare is changing.
New technology means India needs to watch for threats from space and other places.
China's space program is growing quickly, so India needs better ways to see what's happening.
India has made a system that helps make quick decisions, and it's important to keep improving it.
In the future, having good sensors will be very important.
Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit discussed India's surveillance capabilities in modern warfare.
Dixit highlighted the need to understand evolving threats, especially from 'neighbours to the north'.
China's military space program expanded significantly, now with over 360 ISR satellites.
The Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS) has dramatically improved decision-making speed.
Future battlefields will require sensors in all domains, with surveillance and electro-optics being foundational.
