Theaterisation of Critical Assets. Efforts will continue
towards Theaterisation (Inter and Intra Service) of all critical
assets (ISR, Long Range Vectors, Aviation, Air Defence and
Logistics) for optimum application in future conflicts. A concerted
effort will be made to enhance the combat potential of the ground
forces by procuring Attack Helicopters, dependent on terrain, so
as to counter the adversary.
Information Warfare (IW).
Indian Army will develop
capabilities to prosecute Information Warfare Operations over the
entire spectrum of conflict as well as in ‘No War No Peace’
scenario, with the aim to achieve full spectrum information
dominance over the adversary.
Cyber Warfare (CW). Cyberspace will be the new
dimension of warfare and will be a key battle winning factor
in future conflicts. While developing Cyber Warfare
capabilities, all elements/ forces must retain the capability
to fight through a disruptive Cyber Warfare domain/
environment. The Indian Army will upgrade existing Cyber
Warfare capabilities with the objective to develop cyber
deterrence and defence capabilities, while simultaneously
devising means of eliminating such threats.
Electronic Warfare (EW). We shall continue to
develop a span of Electronic Warfare eco-systems to
upgrade operational focus, equipping and skilling. Our
Electronic Warfare capabilities shall evolve into full
spectrum, electro-optical dominance to include capabilities
in Communication Intelligence (COMINT), Electronic
Intelligence (ELINT), interception, jamming, spoofing and
deception. To contain proxy war, endeavours will continue
to degrade the communication capabilities of terrorists/
insurgents and enhance our technical prowess to combat
the impact of radicalisation/ alienation.
Psychological Warfare (Psy W). Psychological
Warfare will be used to promote own objectives and the
Indian Army shall graduate to a state where mass media
becomes an organic part of future operations. Social
Media, which has emerged as a powerful tool for Public
Information and Perception Management, will also be used
meaningfully and responsibly to yield desired dividends.
