Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme - Updates and Discussions

Is the Indian BMDS operated by the airforce or SFC , it is a strategic asset so it could be possible .
Also is BMD connected to the IACCS? and if so Is it connected to the ground based radars of the IAF or soley the BMD ones??

I don't have much idea but from what i know, BMD is operated by IAF as its IAF responsibility to protect indian airspace from hostile entity.

But it will surely change, IN will have BMD on their destroyers within a decade and may be as well around naval base.

SFC only operates land+air nuclear missiles and warhead.

I guess SLBM is in command of IN but may be they need SFC confirmation(codes) to launch it.

Based on publicly available information- while IAF personnel do man the BMD related installations, which organization operates/oversee them is a different matter entirely considering -
1. You need to get your own response missiles off the ground (not an IAF thing)
2. Attempt an interception
