The third DefSat Conference and Expo, scheduled for January 8–10, 2025, at the Manekshaw Centre in New Delhi, is expected to bring together business executives and strategists from the defense and space industries. “Integrated Space Capabilities for Multi-Domain Operations” is the focus of this event, which attempts to examine the crucial nexus between India’s expanding space ambitions and defense modernization.
Space warfare and AI defense solutions will be the main topics of DefSat 2025, which is set for January 8–10, 2025, in New Delhi. The conference’s topic, “Integrated Space Capabilities for Multi-Domain Operations,” highlights the strategic significance that cutting-edge space technologies play in contemporary combat across a range of domains, including homeland security, cyberspace, aerospace, maritime, and land.
Advanced subjects like non-kinetic warfare tactics and quantum key distribution will be discussed. The purpose of these technologies is to improve military operations and guarantee preparedness for upcoming defense issues.
One major area of attention will be the incorporation of machine learning and artificial intelligence into defense plans. This involves using AI to enhance operational effectiveness and decision-making procedures in military settings.
Participants in this simulation exercise will be able to interact with actual space security issues, demonstrating India’s readiness to handle changing space-related threats.
The gathering will promote cooperation and innovation in the military sector by bringing together worldwide academics, defense practitioners, and industry executives. The president of SIA-India, Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, stressed the importance of incorporating space technology into defense plans given the current geopolitical environment.
The Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) are among the organisations supporting the DefSat Conference, which demonstrates India’s dedication to incorporating sophisticated space capabilities into its national security strategy.
