| Summary/Abstract |
That the Indian Army's artillery regiments are in desperate need of a makeover is well known. But the process of modernisation and upgrade has moved at a glacial pace. The only new weapon in sight is the M777 light howitzer which has been cleared for procurement from BAE Systems in the US. The DRDO has now stepped in, reviving an old artillery project that had been shut down some years ago owing to the Army's lack of interest in an indigenous project.

In earlier columns I had written about defence expositions and the many of defence technology: Innovation, Invention, Induction, Integration, Industrialization. The obvious reality that India needs a military industrial complex needs to be addressed.

| Summary/Abstract |
Unlike in the past when it was not a tabooed subject, intelligence has entered the arena of public discourse. We have to accept the reality as it is and not as we wish it to be. Not only the intelligence production -- which can be a legitimate matter of public concern -- but even the processes, structures and systems will increasingly come under public scrutiny. The Intelligence agencies should start deliberating on a public interface mechanism which, in the long run, may even include a media and public relation exercise. In the way Indian democracy is evolving, it will be in the national interest to educate the media and have working relation with it rather than allow it to go haywire for want of knowledge and authentic information. A well thought out action plan on this count may take two to three years before it is made operational.

| Summary/Abstract |
The face of warfare has changed. Kilometers long tank columns and thousands of troops marching forward are scenery from the past. Today's battlefield is an urban terrain swarming with small groups of irregular forces that rapidly switch positions from hindouts to tunnels.
