BSF to dig into pool of 500 companies for anti-drone technology

In the wake of threats from drones and cross-border tunnels, the BSF on Friday launched an initiative to dig into a pool of 500 Indian companies to find solutions to these border security challenges.

In collaboration with Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the BSF on Friday launched BSF Hi-tech Undertaking for Maximising Innovation (BHUMI) to find appropriate systems to detect and destroy drones and tunnels with help from Indian companies. BSF said the initiative was part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission and would “require Indian Startups & premier institutions to develop cost-effective indigenous solutions for border management”.
