New Delhi, February 24
Proliferation of drones and miniature aerial automobiles, coupled with adjustments in know-how, means we’re taking a look at a spectrum of threats from small drones to hypersonic ballistic missiles. This ever-changing state of affairs poses a big problem for the armed forces of the long run, says IAF Chief Air Marshal VR Chaudhari.
“The first and foremost challenge we face is that of technology and keeping pace with it. No other field has seen such a rapid transformation in technology as air power has seen in the past 120 years of its existence,” he mentioned talking on the thirteenth “Jumbo” Majumdar International Seminar organised by the Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS) on Thursday on the theme “Aerospace Power: Future Challenges”.

“Growth of aviation over the past century has been unparalleled and has revolutionised the character of warfare. Control of air has become a prerequisite for conduct of operations,” the IAF Chief mentioned. “From a small biplane to space-based anti-satellite weapon of things is just a glimpse of growth. The tempo of change is not going to slow down while challenge is to develop the capability for indigenous design, development and production,” he added.
The centres of gravity have modified from subject forces. Critical data infrastructure and space-based property are important for conduct of operations.
