印度太空產業發軔於獨立後的十餘年間，最初以民用、社會與經濟導向為主，並明確反對太空軍事化。然而，隨著中國崛起，其在太空領域逐步取代俄羅斯的影響力，並展現爭奪太空霸權的野心，從 2007 年試射反衛星武器（ASAT）到 2015 年推動「太空版一帶一路」，皆顯示其戰略意圖。此外，中國透過「一帶一路」框架強化對巴基斯坦的支持，對印度周邊國家的外交與經濟布局進一步加劇印度的安全憂慮。在長期競爭意識、邊界爭端與恐怖主義等地緣挑戰的影響下，印度開始將其純熟的太空技術應用於國防戰略，以確保國家安全與區域競爭優勢。本研究旨在分析印度近代太空發展背後的安全考量與威脅認知，並探討政府內部各決策部門與科研機構在太空國防政策上的立場與角色。透過比較不同機構對來自中國與巴基斯坦威脅的評估，檢視印度在「理想的政策協調狀態」下如何整合專業知識制定國家戰略，以及在部門立場分歧時，如何透過 Graham Allison「官僚議價決策模型」（bureaucratic politics model）的內部角力影響最終政策走向。最後，本文將以此脈絡分析印度如何運用太空戰略強化國家競爭力，以應對中國與巴基斯坦在區域內的零和競爭，並提出當前政策可調整之處，以進一步強化其太空國防佈局。

India's space industry originated in the decade following its independence, initially emphasizing civilian, social, and economic development while explicitly opposing the militarization of outer space. However, with the rise of China, Beijing gradually replaced Russia as the dominant external influence in the regional space domain and increasingly demonstrated its ambition to compete for space supremacy. From its 2007 anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon test to the launch of the "Space Silk Road" initiative in 2015, China's actions have reflected its expanding strategic objectives. Furthermore, through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China has strengthened its support for Pakistan and expanded its diplomatic and economic influence among India's neighboring countries, thereby intensifying India's security concerns. Influenced by long-standing strategic rivalry, persistent border disputes, and the threat of terrorism, India has increasingly incorporated its advanced space capabilities into its national defense strategy in order to safeguard national security and maintain its regional strategic advantage.
This study aims to examine the security considerations and threat perceptions underlying the evolution of India's contemporary space development, as well as to analyze the positions and roles of key governmental decision-making bodies and scientific institutions in shaping India's space defense policy. By comparing how different institutions assess the threats posed by China and Pakistan, this research explores how India formulates national strategy under an ideal condition of policy coordination through the integration of professional expertise. It also examines how divergent bureaucratic preferences influence policy outcomes through the internal bargaining process described in Graham Allison's Bureaucratic Politics Model. Finally, based on this analytical framework, the study investigates how India employs its space strategy to strengthen national competitiveness in response to the zero-sum strategic competition with China and Pakistan, and proposes potential policy adjustments to further enhance India's space defense posture.
