Various tools, such as drones, satellites, AI-powered systems, and sensors are used to monitor, analyze, and respond to potential threats. These include tools that help in surveillance, identification of threats, and real-time analysis of border activity.
Specific Technologies and Their Applications:
- Drones and UAVs: According to the Indian Aerospace and Defence Bulletin, drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors are used for aerial surveillance, rapid reconnaissance, and monitoring of vast and remote border areas, especially in areas with challenging terrain. They can also be used for rapid intelligence gathering and can be deployed quickly to reduce the risk to personnel.
- Satellite Communication:Satellites provide crucial connectivity in mountainous and remote areas, enabling real-time weather monitoring, navigation, and communication, as well as providing internet access to remote communities.
- AI-Enabled Systems:AI is used for various border security tasks, including automating entry/exit processes at checkpoints, using facial recognition for identity verification, and analyzing data from sensors and cameras to identify potential threats.
- Sensors: A variety of sensors, including heat sensors, seismic sensors, and motion detection systems, are used to create a multi-layered surveillance system, alerting authorities to unusual activity.
- Border Surveillance Systems:DRDO has developed DRDO Border Surveillance Systems that use radar, cameras, and other sensors to monitor border areas, providing all-weather surveillance capabilities.
- Robots: Robots equipped with advanced sensors can navigate challenging terrains, conducting tasks like mapping and inspection with accuracy.
- Command and Control Systems: State-of-the-art command and control software integrates critical information, allowing operators to manage a wide area of surveillance and coordinate interventions based on specific threats.
- Integrated Border Management Systems:The Indian government has implemented Integrated Border Management Systems (IBMS) and Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS), which use AI predictive analytics, sensors, and integrated cameras to improve border surveillance and enable proactive responses to potential threats according to International Journal of Novel Research and Development (IJNRD).
