Advancements in satellite technology, space-based surveillance, and communication systems are critical for enhancing the country’s defence capabilities and growth in the sector, ISRO Chairman Dr S Somanath said.

ISRO’s Chairman was addressing the second edition of the Indian Army’s flagship international seminar, the Chanakya Defence Dialogue, which culminated on Friday in Delhi.

The two-day event brought together policymakers, strategic thinkers, academia, defence personnel, veterans, scientists, and subject matter experts from India and abroad to examine India’s strategic directions and developmental priorities.
