Mission Sudarshan Chakra

Mission Sudarshan Chakra is an Indian defence initiative to develop an interlocked, multi-layered, all-encompassing, AI-enabled networked architecture that combines enhanced monitoring, cyber protection, and physical defense to protect Indian population and infrastructure against terrorist attacks, military strikes, and other high value threats. The idea behind the defense barrier is similar to the Iron Dome of Israel and the Golden Dome of the United States. The Defence Research and Development Organisation is the main entity spearheading the project.

The programme's goal is to establish a national multi-domain offensive and defensive security umbrella. It is to facilitate quick, accurate, and effective defense response against multi-vector threats such as ballistic missiles, hypersonic platforms, fighter aircraft, loitering munitions, swarm drones etc.
