Context

India continues to face many complex threats and challenges to its national security, a few of which are predictable and well-defined.

BACKGROUND

• Over the years, we have entered into an era of complex and uncertain threats and challenges, due to dynamic changes in the geo-politico-economic landscape and revolutionary changes in technology.
• These threats include traditional, non-traditional, cyber, information, space, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and propaganda.
• In order to ascertain the preparedness of our defence forces, it would be prudent to analyse it both from threat and capability-centric points of view.
