International Strategic and Security Studies
The International Strategic and Security Studies address the science and technology perspective influencing political, economic, and security developments in the neighborhood of India and the world and provide policy inputs on theses aspects.
The primary objective of the Programme is to study the Technological, Security, Military, Political, Economic, and developments in India’s immediate and extended neighborhood and the world in general. This, in turn, involves examining prospects and the policy challenges, studying the impact of technology on security, and providing policy in- puts on relevant issues through research, discussion meetings, workshops, and conferences. Research proposals on these lines were generated after gauging the interest of likely sponsors. Studies have been mainly sponsored by the defence and security agencies in the country. In addition, the members of the Programme have taken up research in their own areas of interest and domain expertise.

Advanced Weapons and Deterrence Strategies A focused study on Advanced Weapon Systems examined international development trends and status and used the information to formulate indigenous development strategies. The advanced weapon systems examined were Aerial weapons, Space weapons, Underwater weapons, Directed Energy weapons, and Fifth Generation Aircraft. The architecture of China's Anti Access / Area Denial (A2AD) military strategy directed against the US in the Indo- Pacific region was evaluated. The critical role of its missile, space, and naval forces has given China's geographic and historical setting are specially addressed through several US- China confrontation scenarios. The study analyzed the role of the newly formed Strategic Support Force combining the Space, Cyber, and electronic warfare in its fold. |
Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile Study These Chinese space capabilities and identified their constellation of intelligence and earth observation satellites and linked them to the identification and location of US mobile maritime platforms were examined. Further integration with their land-based tracking assets and ballistic missile DF- 21D demonstrated the technical feasibility of targeting specific aircraft carriers in the fleet.
Software tools, QuoVadis found to be very useful for generating ballistic missile trajectory and providing a fan of target destinations when launched from a set of coordinates. The other tool named Veni Vidi Vici can propagate satellite orbits and is useful for determining target visibility/ blind periods for a constellation of satellites.

Rajaram Nagappa Moon Missions:The Way Ahead http://eprints.nias.res.in/2539/ Co-Authored With B.R Guruprasad, Amit Mukherjee, Upasana Dasgupta and V. Siddhartha. (NIAS/CSS/ISSSP/U/RR/10/2023). Report. NIAS, Bengaluru. The lunar missions gained impetus in the 21st century after decades of lull. The newer sprite in lunar missions began with orbiter and impact missions, which included India’s moon -impact probe onboard the Chandrayaan 1, in 2008. Subsequent robotic missions included orbiters, landers and rovers as well as sample collection missions. The Lunar south polar regions which is under permanent shadow is expected to have reserves of water-ice, essential for lunar habitation and as a source for future deep space missions(space) operating from lunar surface. Other Lunar resources include helium 3 a potential source for nuclear fusion reactors and other minerals which can be commercially exploited and in-situ resource utilization. Consequently, number of countries, space agencies and private parties are keen on lunar exploration. This report details the lunar explorations carried out and being planned, the initiatives taken by leading space faring countries and the technological aspects of lunar exploration. The role of international cooperation is emphasized. |

Rajaram Nagappa The Hypersonic Missile Conundrum Air Power (Journal of Air Power and Space Studies), Vol. 18 (1). Hypersonic missiles operating at or more than five times the speed of sound pose a major security threat. Their high operating speeds, low flight altitudes and maneuverability severely compress the detection time and response decision. China, Russia and US have deployed some of these weapon systems or are in the process of deploying them. The technology is under development in India, Japan and France. The technology has both civilian and military applications. |

Anshuman Behera Discourses of Development: “Development”, Resource Conflict and Political Opportunism in Odisha https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003333234-19/discourses-displacement-development-resource-conflict-political-opportunism-odis… Writing in Times of Displacement: The Existential and Other Discourses. Routledge. London A dominant discourse links displacement with development (economic growth and modernization) as a critical factor. The dominance of “development” discourse on displacement has, however, overlooked some critical discourses such as resource conflict and political opportunism. Lately, literature has focused on resource conflicts, violent or otherwise, that have contributed substantially to large-scale displacements. Similarly, politics, in terms of using the issue of displacement as political capital to capture power, don’t allow the issue to die down. Hence, in many cases, the pains of displacement don’t reduce as the demands of the displaced are conveniently overlooked. Based on observations through extensive field research, the chapter argues that while the development activities are important factors of displacement in Odisha, the more localized conflicts, especially among the marginalized communities backed by external forces such as the Maoists and the state officials, have also contributed to large-scale displacement. |

Chandrashekar, Rajaram Nagappa and N.Ramani. David versus Goliath – US irrationality and nuclear war in the Korean Peninsula, Bangalore: International Strategic and Security Studies Programme, National Institute of Advanced Studies, September 2017, The available evidence from all the nuclear weapon and missile tests conducted by North Korea between May and September this year suggest that Kim Jong Un is no irrational madman who will resort to nuclear war for some idiosyncratic or stupid reason. Rather, each test is part of a carefully calibrated set of signals that together establish that North Korea has in place an assured retaliatory capability directed at the US and its allies in the Asia Pacific region. Accepting this reality may provide a more viable approach for realizing stability in the Korean peninsula than resorting to the shrill and often ludicrous war of words that is currently going on. |

The China US Space Rivalry & the New World Order What Should India Do?, ISSSP Report No. 03-2018 Bangalore: International Strategic and Security Studies Programme, National Institute of Advanced Studies, September 2018 China and the US are following up on their visible demonstrations of war fighting capabilities in space with the necessary organizational changes needed to fight, win and deter wars in space. The setting up of the Strategic Support Force (SSF) with responsibilities for space, cyber and Electronic Warfare by China in 2015 was the first move. The US in response has gone one step further. It is setting up a new sixth service arm that will be exclusively responsible for all combat operations in space. It has finalized a plan that includes a new joint Space Development Agency (SDA), a new joint Space Operations Force (SOF) as well as a new joint Space Command. An integrated proposal on the new service arm will be submitted to Congress for approval in 2020. Though these developments especially from China are likely to have a major impact, Indian decision makers seem to be blissfully unaware of the consequences. Neither the political establishment nor the military seem to understand how these will affect India’s war-fighting and war deterring capabilities in the information dominated world of today. Internal rigidities, lack of distributed domain expertise and an institutional inability to come to grips with the new realities are evident in the sporadic and uncoordinated responses that India has been making. There is no evidence that these trends are likely to reverse soon |
