Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has announced the creation of an 'Adaptive Defence' strategy in India to tackle emerging and evolving security challenges.
What is Adaptive Defence?
It is a strategic approach where a nation's military and defence mechanisms continuously evolve to counter emerging threats.
It focuses on anticipating future threats, rather than merely reacting to past or current ones.
Key Elements of Adaptive Defence:
Situational Awareness: The ability to understand and respond to dynamic environments.
Flexibility: Both at strategic and tactical levels to ensure timely and effective responses.
Resilience & Agility: The ability to recover and adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
Integration with Emerging Technologies: Emphasising the need for adaptive defence to incorporate emerging technologies.
Joint Military Vision: Evolution of joint military strategies to address future threats, involving not just national military forces, but also strategic international cooperation.
