Defence & Security

Perspective of Defence & Homeland Security

India is physically situated in a difficult position, juxtaposed as it is between two nuclear neighbours with whom border issues remain to be resolved, along with the threat of terrorism and insurgencies on one hand, and Naxal Maoism in her hinterland on the other. All this requires India's Security Forces to be exceedingly nimble on its feet so that they can move to any crisis location at a very short notice. This movement of armoured cavalcade is dependent upon the terrain conditions and the latest position of the problem location. It is here that GIS stands out as the only contender that can accurately and expeditiously help in information dissemination between different command units as well as help in planning military move.
