2. INDIAN ARMY
• With about 1,414,000 soldiers in active
service and about 1,800,000 reserve
troops, the Indian Army is the world's
second largest active standing army and
the largest in terms of army populace.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN FORCES
• The Indian Armed Forces is the overall unified military of the Republic of India
encompassing the Indian Army, the Indian Navy, the Indian Air Force and various other
inter-service institutions.
• With an estimated total active force of 1,325,000 personnel,India maintains the world's
second largest armed forces.Auxiliary services include the Indian Coast Guard, the Central
Paramilitary Forces (CPF) and the Strategic Forces Command. India's official defense budget
stands at $32.35 billion but the actual spending on the armed forces is estimated to be
much higher than that
• the Indian Armed Forces plans to have an active military space program and is currently
developing a potent missile defense shield and nuclear triad capabilityIndia is moving to
build a $2 billion or Rs 9,970.16 crore dedicated, highly secure and state-of-the-art optical
fiber cable (OFC) network for the Army, Navy and Air Force. This will be one of the world’s
largest, closed user group (CUG) networks for exclusive use by the million-plus personnel of
the Indian armed forces

4. NEED FOR MODERN ENGINEERING IN
COUNTER TERRORISM

5. PAKISTAN
• Mother of global terrorism.
• Military-ISI need continued hostility .
• Sponsor terrorism / asymmetric war – LeT covert wing
of ISI.
• Terror infrastructure in POK intact.
• Million neo-drones annually.
• ISI/Let/Taliban links to Al Qaeda, insurgents in our
North East incl Maoists.

6. Better weapons win
• When military technology is advancing rapidly (as
in 1850+), there are often significant differences
between the weaponry deployed by opposing
forces and the outclassed army can suffer much
higher losses; it is futile and highly-dangerous to
fight with obsolete weapons.
• Victory depends on marginal differences in the
performance of weapons deployed by the
opposing forces.
• The force with better weapons usually wins, and
the loser suffers high losses.

7. Replacement of weapon systems
• To avoid dangerous inferiority, obsolete weapons must
be replaced by new designs with higher
performance, to maintain adequate effectiveness
against hostile nations concurrently deploying new
equipment.
• Replacement rates vary with -
– Performance improvements provided by technology
– Extra military effectiveness conferred by such
improvements
– Level of threat (wartime>peacetime)
– National financial resources
• Successive generations of weapons in a particular class
achieve higher performance and have higher unit costs.

8. Military Engineering service
•Design, construction and maintenance of all
works, buildings, airfields, dock installations, etc,
•It was founded in 1851 to provide rear-line-
engineering support to the erstwhile British Indian
Army
•Motto “SARVATRA”
•Those who see god in everything

9. Careers for Engineer
Engineering is the backbone of the Army.
It provides the practical framework and
lays the logistical foundations that keep
this large organisation functioning as a
high-performance unit. Whether you’re
providing theoretical expertise or actively
involved in building and maintaining key
infrastructures, your role as an Engineer
involves working with cutting edge
technology and hardware to improve lives
in some of the world’s hardest hit regions.
As challenges go, they don’t come much
bigger.

10. Construction Division
In war, Combat Engineers
provide mobility to own
forces by constructing
bridges, tracks and
helipads; on the other
hand the Corps denies the
same to the enemy by
creating obstacles such as
laying mine-fields and
demolition of bridges.

20. Nuclear weapons
•India possesses nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them
over long distances.
• However, India is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT) because of security concerns and India condemns the
NPT as discriminatory.
