| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Terrorism continues to be a major source of concern to nations as it poses a serious and evolving threat. It also constitutes a direct challenge to the national security and, more importantly, to national unity. India has been in the crosshairs of terrorism for over four decades hence it is imperative that there should be a robust technology driven anti-terror mechanism in place to effectively counter terror. Unmanned aerial vehicles would fit the bill perfectly in India’s fight against terror, especially urban terror. They have numerous advantages and can provide effective intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities as well as enhance India’s operational preparedness to safeguard its citizens and thwart any terrorism attempts. |
