Abstract

The author briefly highlights how Information, Communication Technologies, Electronics and Cyber (ICTEC) and concomitant
technologies are outpacing changes that are being witnessed in the environment. He then goes on to logically explain how these
advancements in mobility and networking space will affect various broad sections in the military to achieve strategic dominance and
leadership role. Shrinking of time and expansion of space/area of influence are clearly brought out in the now possible Network Centric Environment (NCE) that is emerging. However, at the national level, strategic and long-term economic and military dominance have to go hand in hand by achieving a sustainable competitive advantage in the world order. He then goes on to briefly examine the factors that influence strategic sustainable competitive advantage and goes on to list out where India stands in terms of international indexes. The next portion outlines some of the initiatives and directions are taken by the Government towards a well-thought-out vision relating these to wellarticulated theory in academic circles. Citing recent bold decisions, the author expresses hope that India is on the right path of donning a leadership role in the world.
