The key to India’s multi-domain deterrence, capabilities, Pg10

Key Highlights:

• India faces a military challenge from China and must develop a strong industrial strategy to counter it.
• A conservative strategy of integrating emerging technologies may only be suitable for short conflicts, like with Pakistan.
• India should focus on building crucial enabling layers like Command and Control (C2), Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), and logistics.
• India's defense-industrial base needs expansion with private sector involvement to meet military requirements at scale.
• Strengthening deterrence involves addressing vulnerabilities in C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance).
• Prioritizing defense production is crucial to avoid being drawn into a protracted conflict by China.
