The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and other agencies are working together to develop an indigenous counter-drone technology which will be available soon, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Saturday.
The Home Ministerâs statement comes after a drone attack on Jammu Air Force base on June 27, when two Indian Air Force personnel suffered minor injuries. As per sources, drones have since been repeatedly spotted hovering over military installations in the region. Over 250 drones have been sighted along the border with Pakistan since 2019.
Noting that smuggling of drugs, arms, and explosives through tunnels and drones is a major challenge, Shah said it is very important to deal with these challenges at the earliest. While addressing the 18th Border Security Force (BSF) Investiture ceremony, Shah said, âDRDO is working to develop anti-drone swadeshi technology to get over this new danger. We have given all support to antidrone research and development projects.â
