Military Space Doctrine

Context

India is preparing to release its first Military Space Doctrine within the next few months, marking a significant step in its defence strategy.

About

  • The doctrine is being developed by the Defence Space Agency (DSA) and will be accompanied by a broader National Military Space Policy.
  • India’s doctrine aims to define and develop military operations in space, particularly in key orbital zones —
    • low Earth orbit (LEO)
    • medium Earth orbit (MEO)
    • geostationary orbit (GEO)
  • These are vital for communications, surveillance, navigation, and targeting support.
  • The doctrine will focus on how to protect Indian space assets, detect threats, and possibly conduct operations in disrupted or hostile space environments.
