India is strengthening its battlefield awareness and electronic warfare capabilities by integrating AKASHTEER, a next-generation air defence command-and-control system, with a network of AI-powered surveillance satellites. The system aims to enhance real-time tracking, secure communications, and coordinated response against aerial threats. Advanced electronic countermeasures are designed to improve resilience against satellite navigation and communication interference, helping India protect its forces and infrastructure in modern, network-centric warfare. This marks a big step toward indigenous, tech-driven defence systems under Atmanirbhar Bharat.

India is moving toward self-reliance in air defence as DRDO’s Project Kusha advances the development of indigenous long-range interceptor missiles with 150–400 km range. This system is expected to strengthen India’s multi-layered air defence architecture, reducing dependence on foreign systems like the S-400 in the long run. Project Kusha aims to provide high-altitude interception, advanced radar integration, and networked command systems—boosting India’s ability to counter modern aerial threats and reinforcing the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence.
