Srinagar: The Border Security Force (BSF) is significantly expanding its drone warfare, surveillance and technology-driven operational capabilities across the Kashmir Frontier to tackle emerging security challenges along the Line of Control (LoC), Inspector General (IG) Ashok Yadav (IPS) said Monday.
Speaking at the BSF’s Annual Press Meet 2024–25 in Humhama on the occasion of the force’s 61st Foundation Day, IG Yadav said modernisation is now “a non-negotiable element” in India’s border defence strategy.
“The future of border security will be decided by technology. Drone warfare, AI integration and night-surveillance superiority are our top priorities,” he said.
The IG also revealed that the BSF Drone Warfare School at the Academy in Gwalior is now operational and training personnel in “drone design, weaponisation, anti-drone jamming, AI analytics and reconnaissance tactics.” (KNO)
