Security forces to get anti-drone technology soon in Jammu, Punjab

To curb the threat of smuggling of arms and narcotics from Pakistan through drones along the border in Jammu and Punjab, authorities in India are in a process of developing anti-drone technology with foreign assistance.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will be funding the project for developing anti-drone technology to be installed along the border.

“The Border Security Force (BSF) and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) with the help of certain foreign companies and startups in the country are already in a process of developing anti-drone technology,” source said and added the new technology would be developed at the earliest to plug drone activities which otherwise have the potential to give boost to militancy and narco-terror activities.
