Air Marshal Tejpal Singh: Information Superiority, Split-Second Decisions Define Today's Air Battle

Air Marshal Tejpal Singh, Deputy Chief of the Air Staff, emphasized that today's battlefields and airspace are defined by 'information superiority', network-centric operations, and split-second decision-making. While platforms and weapons remain crucial, the ability to observe, orient, decide, and act faster than the adversary is key to operational superiority. This requires integration of surveillance, C4I2, and electro-optics systems. Interoperability, cyber security, and resilience are also critical for network-centric operations.
