The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has pointed out delays in the closure of a project which was aimed at developing a “high-grade” security solution for protecting video, voice and fax communication between VVIP aircraft and the designated ground stations.
The project — Meghdoot — was developed by the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), a premier laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). However, due to the non-availability of adequate bandwidth and satellite communication, the project was closed before it could be inducted into services. Now, the CAG has pointed out the delays in the closure of the project.
