| Summary/Abstract |
Science of warfare maintains that man is more important than his weapon. Today, technology is changing very rapidly and weaponry is continuously evolving. It is the age of high technology and rapid improvement of weaponry. The defence forces of all the countries are forging ahead every day with improved systems and technology. The fit between the man and his weapon is perhaps more important today than in any other time in the history of warfare. We cannot be adhering to the old colonial procedure for allocation of human capital to handle the fast and ever-changing technology of weapons.

| Summary/Abstract |
The battlefields of the future will be dynamic, chaotic, unpredictable, and uncertain. In such interlinked battlefields in multiple theatres and domains, commanders and staff would be sifting through multitude of data for information, decision, and feedback. In such a time-constrained operational environment obscured by Clausewitzian fog of war, effective and unbiased decision-making by leaders and cohesive, cogent actions by teams of humans and machines/systems will be enablers for succinct victory. The pace and complexity of decision-making is expected to reach a level beyond human cognition. Capabilities offered by latest and emerging technology will aid the decision-makers and troops in various domains even as there will be parallel battles to contest those domains by state and non-state actors. The famous OODA loop will have technology-assisted inputs at each stage of Observe, Orient, Decide and Act. Faster processing capabilities of Big Data and inferential analytics and seamless integration of inputs by algorithm-driven machines would simplify the complexities associated with the five Vs of Big Data, i.e., Volume, Velocity, Veracity, Value and Variety.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article presents a comprehensive review of China’s emerging private space industry, including an analysis of government policies, investments and international relations. China’s private space industry has grown significantly since 1988, with over 60 startups emerging by 2022, thanks to the strong support from the government and military civil fusion. The industry’s focus on creating capabilities, skilled workforces, less reliance on foreign players, a strong funding base, and a Chinese space culture positions it to support China’s space ambitions and play a significant role in the global commercial space market. However, pursuing these goals has its own challenges. Therefore, the author provides a critical analysis of how government policies have enabled the growth of China’s private industry. The article also offers a perspective on India’s thriving space industry, encouraging it to explore commercial possibilities and implement domestic space reforms with long-term strategic goals in mind, especially with the emergence of the Indian Space Policy (2023).

| Summary/Abstract |
Cyber-Biosecurity, an emerging threat landscape at the intersection of cybersecurity, cyber-physical security and biosecurity has a potential to disrupt economic, social and political well-being of the nation and has tremendous national security implications. All forms of cyber-attacks impact the manufacturing industries, governments, health infrastructure, patients and bio-economy at large. Rapidly evolving Cyber-Biosecurity threat landscape has potential to disrupt the rapid growth of Indian bio-economy by compromising data security and intellectual property, disrupting manufacturing operations and supply chains resulting in destabilising investor confidence in Indian Bio-economy. Indian National Security Framework too needs to have comprehensive Cyber-Biosecurity policy and infrastructure in place before the biological equivalent of Metasploit becomes commonplace. Some important considerations for the same are the not-so-covert ongoing conflicts in the cyberspace with a probability of boiling over to the Cyber-Biosecurity landscape, and ‘Defend Forward’ as deterrence policy of many nations. India urgently needs to address the need for robust Cyber-Biosecurity legal infrastructure and comprehensive policy formation with the proactive participation of all the stakeholders.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article aims to analyse the bilateral defence relations between India and Malaysia in the context of ongoing geo-political and strategic issues confronting the Indo-Pacific region. Writings on defence partnerships between India and Malaysia are very few and when seen in the context of India’s new ‘Act East Policy’, this article attains significance. The article analyses these relations in a descriptive and analytical manner by first looking into the historical relations and thereafter by highlighting, in brief, the developments during the Cold War era. This is followed by an analysis of the post-Cold War strategic scenario and finally by an understanding of the defence tie-ups and their challenges, if any, with concluding remarks.

| Summary/Abstract |
Humans have been developing technologies that make living easier and open unimaginable horizons. Scholars have been combining technologies to innovate and evolve newer concepts. The evolution of smart devices has led to the concept of creating smart cities. Several nations intend to develop a smart technology ecosystem for ease of governance, economic growth, and comfort of their citizens. The not-so-nascent concept of a smart city requires a scale to measure the levels of technology in the system. The study aims to propose a framework or model to measure the technology index available in areas of interest. There are several instruments available, but most of them require specialised training to use. The proposed tool is a simple device that can be used with basic knowledge of the concept and handling of data. The tool aims to facilitate technology assessment and planning acquisition of deficient or new technologies. While doing so, the study examines the concepts of human settlements, technologies, and the evolution of smart technology and briefly touches upon the concept of the administrative divisions of a nation, with particular emphasis on India. The article outlines a model framework for measuring the technology index based on the levels of administrative divisions amalgamated with the hierarchy of settlements. The article concludes by describing the results of a test case scenario applied to the proposed indexing technologies model.

| Summary/Abstract |
With the growth of hyper-active internet, the requirement of protection against hostile threats has become a matter of concern. In this article, an effort has been made to create a suggestive model based on Artificial Intelligence algorithms to understand the nature of calculated threat posed by potential threats and take necessary actions as and when deemed suitable. The suggestive model can be useful for policy-makers and concerned industries to consider more research effort unilaterally or collectively.
