Rapid technological advancements are driving innovation across diverse sectors, yet they are also exposing an escalating array of vulnerabilities. Driven by solar activity, geomagnetic storms have emerged as a prominent phenomenon in this context, becoming a major source of concern for space-based and ground-based technological infrastructure. With the growing frequency and intensity of geomagnetic storms, disruptions in Earth’s magnetosphere can impact us in consequential ways. Taking a qualitative research approach, the paper explores the impact of geomagnetic activity on technological systems with a focus on satellites and power grids. The findings highlight the disruptive impact of geomagnetic storms and the vulnerabilities of modern systems, along with their broader implications. They also underscore the necessity of robust strategies to address these challenges effectively.

Revolution in the Military Affairs and India’s False Sense of Supremacy
When technology leads the way to strategic dominance, military incursions begin to look commandable and clean. The ‘Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA),’ in essence, is the integration of military and technological systems that results in notable doctrinal, organisational and tactical transformations for military.
THE 3D WARFRONT
While traditional defence manufacturing depends on heavy industries and lengthy supply chains, 3D printing or additive manufacturing creates the desired object by adding layers upon layers using a digital file. 3D printing acts as a catalyst for rapid defence production even on the rough terrains or on the frontlines.
