New Delhi: The Indian Armed Forces are developing the ability to deal with a growing threat from drones, with several steps that have been placed, even because they also obtained “offensive capabilities” in the field, General MM Naravane said on Thursday.
“Drones will be more widely used in all kinds of battles in the future by state and non-state actors.
We serve both drone use, while also focusing on defensive steps through anti-drone technology to prevent attacks on our critical facilities,” said the head of the army at a virtual seminar here.
Comments Gen Naravane came after the first drone strike drone in the country at the Jammu Air Force station on June 27, which exposes the operational gap in handling commercially available small drones that can escape detection by military radar with a missile system that is directed towards that greater than; Air Vehicles (UAVs), aircraft and helicopters.
The armed forces need a special radar to detect and track small drones, which can range from only 30 cm to a width of one meter, distinguish them from birds.
Then, Jammers to disturb or deceive satellite or video links from drones and energy weapons that are directed like a laser to shoot down.
Naravane Gen said “easy availability” drones, which can be accessed by state and non-state actors have “definitely improve the complexity” of the security challenges faced by India.
Build a small drone, in fact, can be done as a project “DIY (do it yourself)” at home.
“We are fully confiscated from this problem and work to ensure we have not found a desire in this matter.
Some return steps have been put in place, with troops also sensitive to developing threats,” he said.
Even when the armed forces develop the ability to handle this threat “in the kinetic and non-kinetic nature”, will continue to be “see-see battles” between the development of drones and reply to thwart it.
Emphasizing the role of “technology niche” such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, autonomous and unmanned computing in modern warfare, Gen Naravane said developments along our northern borders with China were strong reminders to continue to adapt to the urgency of modern wars to preserve integrity The country’s territorial.
The armed forces need a “simplified” defense procurement procedure to facilitate this transition to the digital era.
“Unfortunately, this has become one of our biggest stumbling blocks.
To use niche technology like AI, exploit our depth in it (Information Technology) and realize the vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, we need to shed the old mindset and make our procedures more flexible and adaptive, “he said.
The use of “imaginative and offensive” drove the AI algorithm, first in Idlib (Syria) and later in Armenia-Azerbaijan, has challenged the traditional military hardware of the war: tanks, artillery and digital infantry.
“AI today is modern, the Holy Grail of Technology, with a distant implication on geopolitical and geo-strategies.
In short, we need AI to fight and win our war,” said Gen Naravane.
