Ministry of Defence on Thursday unveiled a plan that includes creating dedicated separate entities for analysing data, operating drones, and geo-spatial mapping.Full-fledged commands for space operations and cyber operations are to be raised while the expanded air defence system named ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ is expected by 2030.Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday released ‘Defence Forces Vision 2047: A Roadmap for a Future-Ready Indian Military’ at an event, and it was made public on Thursday.As per the 47-page document, the plan is to expand the ballistic missile defence (BMD) and air defence systems for the defence of economic and strategic assets, as well as civilian installations against multi-domain threats, as part of mission Sudarshan Chakra.India has tested a BMD and is looking to expand, analysts explained.The vision document lists: Creation of a defence geo-spatial agency, a data force, a drone force, and a cognitive warfare action force.  In case of having a full-fledged space command, the forces have a division handling space, the full-fledged command indicates an expansion and the need to control space.It also talks about creating capabilities to dominate the ‘electro-magnetic’ spectrum —   the ability to control, communicate, and detect in battle while denying, disrupting, or deceiving adversary’s communications, radars, and navigation systems.The MoD says the focus would be on technological developments, indigenous research and development of niche and complex systems and technologies for achieving self-reliance in capability development.It also mentions the need to have dual-use infrastructure and creation of  ‘surge’ capacities to cater for prolonged high-intensity operations.The document divides the future road map into three distinct transition phases: Phase I, from now to 2030, will be observed as an era of transition;  Phase II, from 2030 to 2040, will be observed as an era of consolidation; Phase III, from 2040 to 2047, will era of excellence.Phase I looks to undertake organisational restructuring for multi-domain operations, exercise positive control over borders and the Line of Control with Pakistan and the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China.It looks to deter adversaries from initiating or provoking conflict, contain standoffs, localised confrontations, and terrorism.The Phase II  aims to achieve the next level of integration, progress to data-driven operations and integration of space and cyber into traditional domains, acquiring capability to dominate aerospace and maritime domains.The phase III aims to transform armed forces into a world-class military, leading in all aspects of technology and capable of meeting future threats and challenges by ensuring freedom of operations across all domains, in areas of interest.While presence in the Indian Ocean region will be sustained through robust maritime domain awareness, underwater domain awareness, and air domain awareness.
