Government forms Space Cell Sandeep Dikshit
To counter the growing threat to “our space assets”India wants to utilise space for peaceful purposes It will act as a single window for the armed forces NEW DELHI: The government on Monday announced the formation of a Space Cell under the Integrated Defence Services Headquarters here to counter “the growing threat to our space assets.” Justifying the formation of the cell, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said at the United Commanders’ conference that India wanted to utilise space for peaceful purposes and remained committed to non-weaponisation of space. However, “offensive counter space systems like anti-satellite weaponry, new classes of heavy-lift and small boosters and an improved array of military space systems have emerged in our neighbourhood.” Setting at rest inter-ministerial wrangling over representation, the government said the Space Cell would act as a single window for the armed forces, the Department of Space and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Defence Informatics Centre
Simultaneously, the government also approved the setting up of a Defence Informatics Centre on the lines of the National Informatics Centre to cater to the e-governance needs of the armed forces, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and other associated organisations. A panel of experts would seek to synergise all IT-related matters in the MoD, the three Services and various organisations. (後略)
