Background: Military leadership is not inherent; it depends upon traits that can be developed and skills that can be learned. The leadership of the future is being created now and will mature over the next two decades. What we need is to visualise the future battlefield along with its dimensions, so that a futuristic leadership model framework can be conceived and deployed in our academies to create the best military leaders in the world.
Purpose: To explore the nature and dimensions of the future battlefield as visualised by present military leaders.
Method: A descriptive research design was used in this quantitative study, wherein a total of 443 serving defence officers participated.
Results: Information dominance has been considered the most important dimension, followed by battle-space transparency, psychological operations, hybrid warfare and, finally, non-linear operations.
Discussion and Conclusion. The nation needs to acquire capabilities to achieve supremacy in the domain of information warfare. These capabilities need to be developed in-house and created indigenously for the obvious reasons. Adequate investment in this field should be made not only for the technology R & D but also in human capital.
