Freedom to Use the Seas: India's Maritime Military Strategy (2007)
Naval Strategic Publication (NSP) 1.2
Ensuring Secure Seas: Indian Maritime Security Strategy (IMSS-2015 or Strategy-2015) is a document published under India's Integrated Headquarters outlining the nation's updated thinking towards its naval considerations. The previous edition Freedom to Use the Seas: India's Maritime Military Strategy (IMMS-2007) was published in 2007.[1]
The document acknowledges the labyrinth of dynamic geopolitical linkages.[4] Organized crime, climate change and natural disasters have been considered.[4] The document briefly lists other national projects and initiatives Project Mausam and Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR).[4]
Commentary
With regard to maritime law, India will need to walk the talk, taking cue from its own arbitration award with Bangladesh.[3] The elucidation of "net security provider" in the Indian Ocean doubles down on the phrase and remains a challenge even within the limits of the northern Indian Ocean.[3]
Strategy-2015 has been called "assertive" as compared to its "conservative" predecessor, however the document does not go into detail how naval dominance will be attained and only portrays the general role of carrier battle groups during conflict.[5]
