In a bid to enhance internal security, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has constituted a committee which will work on anti-drone technology.
Director-General of Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D), VSK Kaumudi said, "Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) should not disrupt our services. They should not attack any of our vital assets or security forces. Therefore, the MHA has taken an initiative & formed a committee".
Elaborating on the formation of the committee, Kaumudi said: "It is important that we should be in a position to identify, stall, & neutralise any such enemy carrier. I am calling it carrier because UAVs are not just used for observations. There can be observation, of course, but at the same time if they have the delivery system they can also be more lethal & delivery of payload can be of any type".
He added, "We are in the process of completing the study & at least preliminary study should be over in the next month".
Kaumudi said that they will have a two-day conference on anti-drone technology.
He further added, "The first day will be devoted to deliberations & exchange of ideas. The second day, we will have demonstrations by leading agencies, who are technology partners & others also".
According to sources, Every state is identifying the places where this anti-drone technology is needed to be installed.
Sources said, "Bureau of Police Research & Development (BRP&D) has done many rounds of meeting for that. Delhi police, IB & BPR&D will be three nodal agencies".
