By the end of the third phase, India will have a fully integrated and self-reliant military structure.

NEW MILITARY AGENCIES AND COMMANDS

The vision creates several new bodies to handle modern warfare. These include:

• Defence Geo-Spatial Agency  – for maps and location intelligence

• Data Force  – to manage and protect military data

• Drone Force  – for unmanned aerial operations

• Cognitive Warfare Action Force  – to counter psychological and information warfare

• Dedicated Space Commands  – for space-based defence

• Dedicated Cyber Commands  – for cybersecurity and cyber warfare

These bodies will help India fight in multiple domains at the same time using advanced technology.

MISSION SUDARSHAN CHAKRA – INDIA'S MISSILE SHIELD

One important project under this vision is  Mission Sudarshan Chakra . This is a national defence shield. It will be a  layered ballistic and air missile defence system . That means it will have many layers to stop incoming missiles. The shield will protect:

• Strategic infrastructure (military bases, nuclear sites, etc.)

• Civilian infrastructure (cities, power plants, etc.)

The mission is expected to become fully ready between  2030 and 2040  (during the Era of Consolidation).

RECORD DEFENCE BUDGET

To support all these plans, the government has already increased defence spending. In the latest Union Budget, the defence allocation was  ₹7.85 lakh crore . This was the highest allocation among all ministries. This budget supports:

• Military modernisation

• Industrial capacity

• Domestic defence manufacturing

• A stronger defence industrial base
