| Summary/Abstract |
Outer space, or simply space, is the void that exists between celestial bodies. This frontier of outer space is fast emerging as the fourth dimension (after land, sea and air) for military applications. Space will undoubtedly be the military high ground for warfare in the future acting as a "force multiplier" for any military operation. Militarization of space involves use of space technology for exploiting weapons on the ground and in the earth's atmosphere with more accuracy. India has to defend her physical, economic and cultural identity in the prevalent geo-political milieu as it faces varied and complex security challenges. There is a clear and present danger that sooner or later space could be weaponized by various countries. India can no longer be immune to the rapidly changing international security environment, threat to India's national security from nuclear and missile capabilities in its neighbourhood and the vulnerabilities of its space assets. It is therefore imperative that India exploits the capabilities of space, concurrently at appropriate levels, to achieve the desired operational capabilities in a compressed time frame. Since the early 1990s, the Indian armed forces have benefitted from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) civilian satellites. However, as operational requirements now demand an increase in military capabilities, the armed forces certainly need dedicated military satellites. This space capability has to be optimally exploited by the three services of the Indian defence forces with synergy and harmony, which is possible only under a single appropriate command structure. It is high time that India realizes: "To remain in Race, the Indian armed forces should be in Space".

| Summary/Abstract |
A number of studies have considered the theoretical role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may play in shaping the global balance of power in the future. While these studies are informative, we currently lack an understanding regarding the precise manner AI technologies are being applied and incorporated in militaries in major power states. Thus, in this study, we examine how AI technology is being applied in the militaries in the US, China, and Russia and analyse the implications for the future of AI, global military competition, and international security. We examine current research on the military application of AI technology in the US, China, and Russia and conduct expert interviews with leading AI experts in academia, think tanks, multinational technology companies, and the military to better understand how AI technology is being applied in the three major powers states and the implications for global security.

| Summary/Abstract |
The last decade have been characterized by an ever-increasing importance of electronics in weapons systems, not only from a technological and operational point of view, but also for a high level of costs that currently represent, e.g. in the case of a combat aircraft, 60% of the total cost.

| Summary/Abstract |
The last decade has witnessed unprecedented developments in thediscovery of novel materials and their radically different propertiesat nanoscales. Global efforts in research and development (R&D)in nanotechnology are being undertaken by many countries dueto far-reaching benefits encompassing the entire arena of scienceand technology. The field of defence is likely to profit immensely bynanotechnology-enabled applications. The impact of these applicationswill have a direct bearing on soldier in the battlefield in terms ofenhanced protection, lethality, manoeuvrability, communication, healthmonitoring, and surveillance. This article dwells upon the current globalscenario of nanotechnology and how a 'soldier as a system' can beconceived through integration of nanotechnology-enabled applications.

| Summary/Abstract |
Use of space has fast spread to countries across the globe with enormous implications for security since each state seeks to develop offensive as well as defensive capabilities in space to pursue its security and other interests. India, too, was quick to recognise the potential of space exploration in the development of the country. With a modest start in year 1967 involving launch of first indigenously built sounding rocket from Thumba, the Indian space program has come a long way. The Indian space program has been a civilian one since its inception. With the growing dependence of the armed forces on space-based assets the military applications of this technology cannot be ignored. With each passing day the reliance on space assets is increasing manifold. It is important not only to launch more satellites to meet the growing demand of civilian use but also to meet its military applications. While it is essential to have adequate space assets to meet the ever-increasing requirements of communications, it is prudent to develop an effective anti-satellite weapon system as deterrence against any threat to these space assets. The article argues that if India is to maintain itself as a credible military power into the 21st century, it must exploit this medium.
“Expand on both sides as it is a Quote and not part of Abstract is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the comity of nations, we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society.”

| Summary/Abstract |
This article presents the first open source assessment of how the US, Chinese and Russian militaries discuss the application of blockchain technologies in warfare. Bilyana Lilly and Sale Lilly examine mentions of blockchain in the official military publications of each country – in their respective native languages – to identify the similarities and differences in each military’s blockchain outlook, ranging from mitigating cyber security vulnerabilities to supply chain management and battlefield logistics management. They conclude by offering several policy implications and observations for defence planners.
