Overview
Critical for understanding evolving international security dynamics, potential for new arms races, challenges to global stability, and India's strategic interests as an emerging space power.
The weaponisation of outer space refers to the development, deployment, and use of military capabilities in or through space, including anti-satellite weapons (ASATs), space-to-ground weapons, and non-kinetic means like jamming or cyberattacks. This phenomenon raises significant concerns about international security and stability.
