The system against drone attacks will consist of, among other things, radio frequency detectors, electro-optical and infrared cameras, and radars.
India has identified the system and technology to tackle "rogue drones" and soon a massive, comprehensive counter-drone policy would be rolled out to avoid terror attacks like the one on Sunday at Air Force Station Jammu, according to high-level sources. In a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, measures and strategies to counter "weaponised drones used for terror purposes against strategic and commercial assets" were discussed. The meeting attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, among others. In what is believed to be the first use of drones in a terror attack on an Indian military facility, two blasts took place at the Air Force base on Sunday. Two Indian Air Force personnel suffered minor injuries in the explosions that took place a little before 2 am at the high security airport located around 14 kilometres from the border with Pakistan.More Related News
