'Hyper-Sensitive' Airports To Install Intrusion Detection System By 2023

The airports coming up under RCS will plan the installation of PIDS at the development stage itself, BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) said in the circular issued on Monday.

All "hyper-sensitive" airports in the country will have to install a perimeter intrusion detection system by December next year, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security said in a circular. 

The Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) is a sensor which helps in alerting security agencies of any intrusion through the boundary walls of the airport.

Greenfield airports that are not part of the government's Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) will also install PIDS.
