The Deep Blue Strategy: How Seabed Warfare Prowess Can Elevate India’s Global Maritime Standing

As tensions persist in various regions, the spectre of seabed warfare operations, prevalent in Europe, looms over the Indian Ocean, signalling potential challenges if regional tensions escalate.

As geopolitical tensions continue to evolve, a new arena for potential conflict is emerging beneath the ocean waves. Referred to as “Seabed Warfare,” this strategic battleground encompasses operations conducted on the ocean floor, targeting crucial elements such as data and power cables, sensors, energy transmission, and extraction infrastructure. Seabed warfare is broadly defined as operations to, from, and across the ocean floor, with a focus on key infrastructure like power and telecom cables, weapon systems, and resource extraction setups.

Nations of global significance are actively vying for dominance in this domain, devising strategies to safeguard their interests and assert control over the vast oceanic expanses. With a coastline stretching 7517 kilometres, India finds itself at the forefront of this emerging conflict. The nation’s approach to seabed warfare holds immense significance, not just for its own security but also for future considerations related to energy and economic prosperity.
