ISRO Played a very crucial role in success of Operation Sindhoor targeting 9 Pakistani terror camps and eleven Pakistani airbases. Such critical mission was possible with a seamless integration between ISRO and Indian military operation plans that includes sharing mission critical data pointers from satellites round the clock, sharing high resolution images and communication security.
High resolution earth observation systems like the Cartosat and RISAT series delivered continuous surveillance across the boarder and seashore. RISAT's all-weather synthetic aperture radar (SAR) capabilities were very crucial in cloud covered region and mountain terrain by providing day and night radar images, which helped in detecting enemy movement round the clock.
GSAT Satellites enabled secure and real time communication within the defense personnel within the long distance
NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) provided high precision geo location data, it helped in targeting specific Pakistani terrorist camps. It also guided Indian missiles and drones launch to target locations with high accuracy.
ISRO and Indian government has plans to increase the current 9 to 11 dedicated satellites to 100+ additional satellites to be launched in the next 5 years. 50% of these satellites to be dedicated surveillance, enhancing round the clock monitoring of 7000 KM long costal line and volatile land borders across the country. Considering current geopolitical situation, ISRO is planning to have both public and private collaboration in swift launch of satellites to further strengthen ISRO satellite network.
Operation Sindhoor wouldn't have been successful without an integration between Indian defense units powered by space systems. This is one real time example why India is one of fast developing nation in the world.
