Summary/Abstract |
Modernisation and development are the processes of evolution. While scientists across the globle have made our lives comfortable by providing more efficient gadgetry and machinery, the innovations in the field of weaponry and their delivery systems have left the Air Defence (AD) planners working overtime to find suitable solutions to counter this development.

Summary/Abstract |
The evolution of weaponry is directly linked to the history of violence, peace and conflict. The history of violence, peace and conflict is also a history of a series of ever-more-efficient devices to enable humans to kill and dominate their fellow human beings.

Summary/Abstract |
The dawn of the space age set in motion the wheels of militarisation of space by the superpowers. They were soon joined by other nations that could afford the technology either through collaboration or indigenisation.While space has been utlised as a force enabler since the decade of the 1960's it was only during the 1991 Gulf War that the true potential of space as a force multiplier for military operations was realised.

The second nuclear test by North Korea, officially called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), on May 25, 2009, has far-reaching implications. With this test, North korea brazenly challenged the US-led Six-Party Talks begun in 2003 and introduced a new dimension into the talks.

Summary/Abstract |
Though the concept of peacekeeping was evolved immediately after the United Nations (UN) was founded, peacekeeping as a means to resolve conflicts began only with the deployment of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO) into the Middle East in 1948 to monitor the Arab-Israeli ceasefire. Since then, the UN has established a total of 63 peace missions, of which 50 were in the post-Cold War era.
