The Indian Air Force is working to establish an aerospace command to exploit space capabilities, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal SP Tyagi said this week. The Times of India reported that Indian satellites, radars, communications systems, fighter aircraft, and helicopters would be integrated under the command. He did not commit to an exact time frame for setting up the aerospace command.
Fresh off the first combat deployment of its new EA-37B, the Air Force is nearly doubling the planned number of new electronic attack jets and projecting more than $3 billion in spending on the program in the next five years.
