Synopsis This book is a modest attempt to fill this gap by placing in perspective the policy on defence and security by the security establishment and its manifestation into capabilities to meet the current and emerging challenges. The book is divided into four parts. In part I the key defence and security policies, their translation into Armed Forces and Security doctrines, the budgetary support provided and the technology environment for implementation has been covered in separate chapters. In part II manifestation of policies into capabilities in terms of strategic systems, integration and jointness, Army, Navy and Air Force capability and counter terrorism infrastructure has been examined. Part III covers the defence industrial base and in the concluding Part IV a summary of assessment of national security readiness has been provided.
