'Terror attacks have led to demand for new technology'

Friday, July 16, 2010 10:29:36 AM, PTI

Coimbatore: Recent terror attacks in the country have led to the demand for new technology, different to what used in conventional warfare, a top defence official said today.

"The means of fighting a war have undergone changes through the ages and modern threat categories include weapons of mass destruction, missiles, battlefield threats like aircraft, submarines, surface ships, electronic, information and cyber warfare, space control and security," Vijaya Kumar Saraswat, scientific advisor to Defence Minister A K Antony, said in his convocation address at Bharathiar University here.

Saraswat, also the Director General of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said the global threat to India has to be analysed with respect to the country's nuclear doctrine - no first use and no use against non-nuclear states.
