Summary/Abstract |

Summary/Abstract |
A healthy public discourse could much needed fresh ideas in the management of huge defense outlays. This would be possible only if budget outlays are presented in a demystified format, improving the content of explanatory memoranda so that there is better understanding of the objects on which expenditure is incurred and providing linkages between outlays and outcomes in as many areas as possible, without of course, compromising on security imperatives.

Summary/Abstract |
Littoral security has been an issue among Indian national security planners and the government established the Indian Coast Guard in 1976. Maritime asymmetric challenges and threats require a sophisticated strategy that pivots on domain awareness and effective translation of intelligence into credible response action. Coordinated operations and sharing of intelligence among the maritime security agencies would help an efficient response mechanism to counter threats to littoral security. In essense, proactive systematic-organisational-operational initiatives hold the key to enhanced domain awareness and credible response to maritime threats.
