The Indian armed forces are all set to conduct the country's first-ever simulated space warfare exercise "IndSpaceEx".
The tri-Service integrated defence staff (IDS) under the defence ministry with all military and scientific stakeholders will conduct the drill.
India successfully tested an anti-satellite (A-Sat) interceptor missile on March 27 this year.
Such a capability is necessary as enemy countries can destroy or jam Indian satellites vital for surveillance, communication, missile early-warning and precision-targeting.
