India investing $3.1 Billion in defense network, to build cyber defense system

JMH · May 13, 2012

As the next generation wars are increasing depending on robust and secure information systems networks, it is imperative for a country to invest in building a reliable infrastructure.
Back in 2009, the Government of India sanctioned $1.8 Billion to develop a pan-India communications network just for the defense forces.
This 60,000km Optic Fiber Cable (OFC) network when completed is expected to connect 162 air force, 129 army and 33 navy bases.
Last week, India’s Defense Minister, AK Antony, announced an additional $1.3 Billion will be invested in the project making the grand total to a $3.1 Billion.
