China’s cyber warfare capability and India’s concerns / Sharma, Deepak   Journal Article
Sharma, Deepak Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The Chinese cyber warfare department's multiple agencies and individuals are seriously working towards the overall objective of instantly disrupting or at least weakening the adversary's computer networks so as to paralyse his decision making capability at the very commencement of hostilities. It is very difficult to protect networks from such attacks. The weakest link in cyber security measures are the persons operating the system who often, knowingly or unknowingly, default on cyber security measures. It is possible for defence to have an exclusive secure network with air gap from civil and public networks which ensures that the adversary is not allowed to even access its periphery.

Vietnam's energy sector: a review of current energy policies and strategies / Minh Do, Tien; Sharma, Deepak   Journal Article
Sharma, Deepak Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Since the introduction of market-oriented economy in 1986, Vietnam has made noticeable socio-economic progress. In this progress, the energy sector has played a vital role. This role is likely to deepen in the years to come as Vietnam strives to achieve even higher levels in economic progress. Such deepening in the role of energy, this paper argues, will heighten concerns about the security of energy supply, and economic, environmental, social and political consequences. In order to address these issues, Vietnam has over the last decade, developed a suite of energy policies. A deeper review of these policies suggests that they are typified by economic-growth orientation, exclusive focus on a single-sector or single issue, and largely neglect the significance of cross-sectoral and cross-thematic issues arising from the interdependencies between energy, economy, and the polity at large. The existing energy policy settings are, therefore, unlikely to be able to provide a satisfactory redress to the challenges noted above. This paper provides an overview of the current energy policies with a view to identify areas where further policy effort is needed in order to facilitate a sustainable development of the Vietnamese energy sector.

Weaponisation of space and India’s options / Sharma, Deepak   Journal Article
Sharma, Deepak Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract During Cold War era, space became an essential adjunct for war-fighting on the ground, without becoming another theatre of combat. While militarization of space proceeded rapidly, the weaponisation of space was avoided. Because the weaponisation of space was avoided during the Cold War, it does not necessarily follow that weaponisation will continue to be avoided in a new era of asymmetric warfare. We can improve protection of satellites against some threats, but satellites will remain easy targets for space weapons designed to kill on impact. Space has been free from warfare. No weapons have ever been used in or from space, and no satellites have been destroyed in combat. A glance at the global strategic situation reveals that many nations are rushing to develop space capability. The capabilities in development around the world are largely dual use and will have profound effects on the balance of power. The issue at hand is how to effectively manage the security dilemmas that will inevitably arise due to weaponisation of space. Many space faring nations think that future wars will/may be fought in all medium including space. The laws of aerodynamics cease to apply in space and one is therefore obliged to consider it as a medium different from air. It is still far easier and more likely for surprise attacks to be carried out on the ground than in space. During the Cold War, nuclear-tipped missiles were always ready to fire. We will be safer if we can prevent elevating this hair-trigger situation into space. If India has to look at the threat to its space assets, it can be concluded that though there is a threat to space assets from our perceived adversary, it is neither critical nor alarming. Indian defence forces primary dependence on space based systems if any, can easily be transformed to secondly by developing alternates for both ground and aerial platforms. In future the dependence on space based systems can be further reduced by India by inducting state-of-the-art alternate systems to supplement the space system as alternates.
