He was speaking at the 14th edition of the Indo-Pacific Geo Intelligence Forum held in the national capital.
The two-day event, based on the theme 'Resilient Multi-Domain Regional Security', highlights the combined power of geospatial intelligence, space-based assets and cutting-edge innovation to counter emerging threats in the Indo-Pacific.
"The Indo-Pacific is a region of hope because it is an economic superpower and almost half the world's population lives here," said Lieutenant General Rakesh Kapoor, Deputy Chief of Army Staff (Information Systems and Coordination).
“Militaries in the region need geospatial technology to gain a competitive advantage over their adversaries. The Indo-Pacific is a theater of rivalry.,
While most domains, sea, air, space, “adherence to law and governance” remain a matter of concern, he said.
"The Indo-Pacific region is stable but vulnerable because of symbiotic relationships and economic interdependence that leads to strategic fortitude," Lt Gen Kapoor said.
Former Indian Army chief General VK Singh said the sector "contributes to our GDP and trade."
“So there is a need for technologies to counter what you see,” he said, calling for greater coordination and collaboration to understand the clearer picture, and the use of all utilities and geospatial intelligence applications from artificial intelligence to data. Needed.
The Indo-Pacific extends from the Gulf of Oman in the west to the US Pacific coast in the east.Vice Admiral Tarun Sobti, Vice Chief of the Indian Naval Staff, stressed the need to strengthen maritime security, saying, "More than 50 per cent of the world's trade takes place in this region and 90 per cent of India's trade takes place in this region."
He said that since recent maritime incidents are of concern, geospatial intelligence is important for maritime domain awareness.
Lieutenant General Kapoor said that more than 35 percent of global cyber crimes occur within the bounds of Indo-Pacific geography.
He also said the region is seeing an increase in human trafficking, illegal fishing, drugs and piracy, leading to loss of livelihoods.
