A typical IAF base is secured during peacetime by DSC personnel manning the peripheral watch towers and the important operational assets augmented with air-warrior guards comprising non-technical staff who are not engaged in active operational activities. DSC numbers need serious augmenting and forward bases should have a relatively younger lot. The limited Garud Commandos act as Quick-Reaction Force and take on larger real-time threats. While the Garud are better armed and better trained, they have other tasks and roles such as Suppression of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD) through Radar-bursting, and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR). Garud units need to be increased to two from present one in forward bases.

| Summary/Abstract |
Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Army (IA) will soon have formidable attack helicopter capability and will use for Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD) / Destruction of Enemy Air Defences (DEAD), Counter Air, Interdiction at varying depths inside enemy territory, Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR), etc. in furtherance of both air and ground battles. It would act as a tremendous force-multiplier at the point of decision, when required. Indigenous helicopters have taken reasonable shape but are held up due to delayed decision on weapons. Addition of the Chinook, Apache, the Rudra and MH 60 Romeo Seahawk helicopters will give a massive boost to the capability. Rotary wing fleet will continue to remain a very significant fleet both, in war and peace.

Aviation is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world due to safety reasons. Strict regulations have helped the avition industry provide the safest way the transport per mile travelled. Aviation incidents are few and far between, and are getting rarer every year. Some degrees of automation have indeed helped get aviation to where it currently is. But human control and intervention have always been at the heart of it. form pilots to Air Traffic Controllers. This is about to change.

The Chinese arms industry today is the world’s second-largest producer of munitions. It has overtaken Russia in arms production, a country that was once a major supplier of arms to China. Currently, three of the world’s top 10 arms companies are Chinese. China is also becoming a significant exporter of arms around the world. It has emerged as a supplier of weapon platforms to over 50 countries, and is now the world’s fifth largest arms exporter.

March 2016 was an eventful month for the Indian Air Force (IAF) on many counts. The Indian defence forces were still recovering from the lower than expected increase in the defence allocation in Budget 2016-2017. In fact, the Finance Minister for the first time did not even mention the allocation for defence in his speech in the Parliament. With dithering modernisation, the capital fund allotments were considered rather meagre. The IAF’s Exercise Iron-Fist 2016 on March 18 was the largest ever show of air power. In spite a great event, there were a few clearly visible weapons misses that were critically talked about.

| Summary/Abstract |
The F-35 programme was being driven by a way professional team of uniformed and civilian members of the Pentagon. The Indian MoD needs to have such core ability and learn programme management. Public criticism of the Pentagon for the programme resulted in huge public and government pressure and in turn, aircraft improvements and cost cuts. President Trump himself has been a critic of the cost overruns and delays. Pentagon has no more money to pour into the programme after three costly restructurings in recent years. At one stage, there was a proposal to invite an open tender for all follow-on projects in the programme.
