Jammu attack: Air Force plans to buy anti-drone systems with laser weapons

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has initiated a process of acquiring 10 anti-drone systems, news agency ANI reported. The IAF will deploy these systems at different airbases and has asked vendors to provide a multi-sensor, multi-kill solution to enforce effectively, the ANI report further said.

The decision comes days after a drone attack on the IAF base in Jammu. Pakistan based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is believed to be behind the attack on June 27.

The IAF has said in its Request for Information (RFI) that the indigenous anti-drone system should be Laser-based Directed Energy Weapon.
