However, this has not deterred the IAF which is determined to procure more multi-role combat fighter for its fleet in the coming years. In September, IAF Chief Air Marshal BS Dhanoa highlighted the need to scale the number up to 42 squadrons. This, according to Dhanoa, was needed to match the forces of India’s nuclear- powered neighbours, namely Pakistan and China. The 42 squadron is crucial to fight a two-front war.

    JUNE 2020 Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India’s Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites KARTIK BOMMAKANTI Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India's Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites KARTIK BOMMAKANTI ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kartik Bommakanti is an Associate Fellow at ORF. ISBN: 978-93-90159-24-6 © 2020 Observer Research Foundation. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permission in writing from ORF. Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India’s Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites ABSTRACT Small satellites have gained considerable importance in recent years. Although small spacecraft have existed for decades, their military applications have recently gained prominence owing to technological advances in their development and integration into the armed services of the major spacefaring countries across the world. This paper analyses the significance of small satellites in the C4ISR capabilities of the three service branches of the Indian military. Small satellites are not a panacea for the C4ISR needs of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, but will help partially address their sensor-related requirements. They also contribute to a multi-layered and distributed capability for the Indian armed services. Investment in Small Satellites should assume greater salience in Indian defence planning in the coming years.
