Army Chief raises pitch for space command
NEW DELHI: Citing China’s rapid militarisation of space, Army Chief Deepak Kapoor on Monday raised the pitch for establishing the much-delayed tri-services space command for persistent surveillance and quick response to any threat to India’s assets in orbit.
His remarks came after China’s demonstration of its capabilities to shoot down satellites in January last year, initiating counter measures to ward off the anti-satellite threats.
“China’s space programme is expanding at an exponentially rapid pace. There is an imperative requirement to develop joint structures in the Indian armed forces for synergising employment of space assets,” the Army Chief said, inaugurating a day-long training for Army officers on ‘space applications for military use’ here. --PTI
