India set to bring out military space doctrine soon, says CDS

He said the Defence Space Agency (DSA), a part of HQ Integrated Defence Staff, is likely to bring out the doctrine “in two to three months”, adding that the country must sharpen its focus on “Earth’s orbital space, boosting military capabilities and protecting these assets from threats”.

“We are also working on a national military space policy,” said Chauhan, who was speaking at the third edition of the Indian DefSpace Symposium 2025, a three-day event that began at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.

The initiatives are part of the government’s efforts to protect its space-based assets and bolster military capabilities to take on new challenges. China is known to possess capabilities to disrupt satellite signals using jammers as well as other anti-satellite technologies.
