As per specifications, force has sought a ground-based anti-drone system in a stand-alone platform that can be fixed on ground or on a vehicle. facility will run on rechargeable batteries, BSF has stated as it has to be deployed in harsh border areas that includes dense forests, desert, rivers and ors. system, BSF specification said, should be capable to detect lone suspicious flying object or group of UAVs (swarm attack) from a distance and should be capable to detect a target within 10 seconds. It (system) should be capable to do a real-time scan, detection, track and neutralization of flying objects like multi-copters, fixed-wing UAVs and rio-controlled UAVs in a 360-degree environment, draft specifications said.

force also desires that prospective techlogy should have "capability" to track multiple UAVs in a specified range and it should be capable to neutralize flying objects by jamming its rio and GPS (global positioning system) links simultaneously and also trigger signals to force-land drone. PTI h reported last month that India has an estimated over 6 lakh rogue or unregulated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and security ncies are analyzing modern anti-drone weapons like 'sky fence' and 'drone gun' to counter-terror or similar sabot bids by se aerial platforms.

A blueprint prepared by central ncies states unregulated drones, UAVs and remotely-piloted aircraft systems are a "potential threat" to vital installations, sensitive locations and specific events in country and a "compatible solution" is required to counter m. Recent incidents like lethal drone attack on Saudi Arabia's largest petroleum company and arms dropping by UAVs in Punjab from across India-Pakistan border has alerted Indian security and intelligence ncies and y are w working to prepare effective counter against m.
