I proudly announce my fourth book "India's Defence Against Drones". This book took extensive fresh research of 18 months over a base research of 10 years. Covers Russia-Ukraine War, SINDOOR, Iran-Israel-US, Myanmar and other conflicts. It extensively covers the drones profiles of China, Pakistan and then recommends the C-UAS architecture for India (TEAM BHARAT). It covers not only military but our civil requirements too with clear focus on Indigenisation. The book is a must read since the actions mentioned were absolutely essential seven months back. WE MUST ACT NOW TO DEFEND OUR MOTHERLAND OTHERWISE IT MAY BE TOO LATE. Please note - I will not get any money from sales of this book and CENJOWS has already delayed the publication by 7 months. So, it's not about money making. It's about action taking. The listed actions are absolutely essential. DO READ, ACT & GIVE FEEDBACK TOO About the Book (available at amazon.in/dp/8118020355)- The contemporary battlefield has witnessed a notable shift from contact battles to more non-contact battles involving Drones, rockets, artillery, missiles, and Air (DRAMA) campaigns. Resultantly, nations world over have been compelled to evaluate and enhance their counter-offensive DRAMA campaigns. Indian Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi appropriately announced MISSION SUDARSHAN CHAKRA from the Red Fort on 15th August 2025. Thus, anti-drone measures stand as the most important pillar of that mission. This book, therefore, focuses on the development of the Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) platforms in the combat battlespace to highlight lessons for India to safeguard itself against adversary drone dominance and accelerate the indigenisation strategy of Atmanirbharta. Rapid advancements in key technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Radio Frequency (RF) and communication connectivity, Electronic Warfare (EW), sensors, navigation, and lightweight materials have unlocked new combat possibilities for unmanned systems, particularly Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly called Drones. A cat-and-mouse game is occurring between manufacturers of Drones and Counter-UAS platforms, as well as between advanced militaries, Russia, ably assisted by China and Iran, Ukraine, assisted by the European Union on the other side and the US-Israel combination and Türkiye. Highlighting the phrase “Drones Win Battles, but Components Win Wars,” this book discusses these technological developments in detail and goes beyond into tactical, doctrinal, and organisational developments to understand the evolution of drones globally, focusing on India’s adversaries and countermeasures in recent conflicts. This book is for anyone interested in the employment of drones from tactical to strategic level in Operation SINDOOR in May 2025, the Russia-Ukraine War, West Asian conflicts in 2024, 2025 and 2026, Myanmar, etc. It explains drone development in Pakistan and China and highlights that C-UAS requires building a complete architecture – including the command-and-control setup, the multi-domain C-UAS kill web, hard and soft options, AI-enablement and corresponding compression of decision cycles, and doctrinal innovation matching the combat battlespace.

Defence Acquisition & Emerging Technologies Course for Defence Scholars, Scholar Warriors, MSMEs, Startups, and the Indian Defence Industry 🇮🇳 Team Atma Nirbhar Soch (@AtmaSoch)  is pleased to announce a six-day evening course designed to equip defence scholars and scholar warriors, MSMEs, startups, and defence industry participants with a working understanding of India’s defence acquisition ecosystem. This course will bridge the gap between the military, industry, academic and veterans. Dates: 17–22 August 2026 Timing: 1800–2000 hrs daily Format: Live online, Webex  (with daily recordings after session for review) Cetificates will be provided The course will cover DAP 2026 and its TRL/MRL-based categorisation, the distinction between “Made in India” and “Owned by India,” revenue and capital procurement models, the defence planning process (ICDP, AAP, acquisition categories), and MSME-specific entry points including Indigenous Content Norms and the Fast Track Procedure. Participants will also be introduced to the Army Design Bureau and Suo Moto proposal route, the iDEX ecosystem (Open Challenge, DISC, ADITI), and procurement practices specific to the Navy and Air Force. The final sessions will address civil-military integration and the alignment of technology roadmaps with Atmanirbhar Bharat 2047 and Mission Sudarshan Chakra 2035. Sessions will be conducted by subject matter experts with direct experience in defence procurement and planning, including ex Army Commander Lt Gen Raj Shukla on Civil-Military Fusion, Air Marshal BR Krishna, Vice Admiral Puneet Chadha, Maj Gen Abhay Dayal, Maj Gen Devinder, Col Varun Tanwar, and Brig Anshuman Narang. By the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to identify their correct acquisition category, the relevant funding pathway, and the service best suited to their product or technology.
