Summary/Abstract |
The article focuses on tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the need to develop an effective defense against drone attacks. Existing weapons and ways to defend against drones are presented. Problems discussed include challenges in detecting and destroying small size UAV's or drones. Options for defending against tactical drones including the use of laser as weapon, powerful electromagnetic impulses that disable drone equipment and drone hunter-killers are also presented.

Summary/Abstract |
eurosatory, Europe's premier land and E marine defence show, wound up on a sober note given the general downturn in the world economy and lower defence budgets in America and Europe. Looking only at Europe, defence spending appears largely confined to the UK, France and Germany. There too, the budgets have been squeezed in an effort to get the most bang for the least buck. Some of the new products on show were a helicopter with a 25mm cannon, a shock absorbing helmet, a mini- jammer and a new medium tank concept. The jammer Solo should be of some interest in India, it weighs about five kilos and can be plugged into a vehicle's 12-volt outlet or a battery pack.

Summary/Abstract |
A wide variety of state-of-the-art UGS systems are now available in the market
The use of unattended ground sensors (UGS) for border security applications has gained momentum in recent times across the world. For India, where the border guarding forces face significantly large number of challenges manning the open and porous borders, the UGS could provide a perfect solution. It is no surprise that Indian armed forces are now in the process of procuring these advanced sensors.
The ministry of home affairs (MHA) had issued an expression of interest (EoI) in 2013 to procure UGS systems for Border Security Force (BSF). This initiative from the MHA came after the reports of a 400 metre long tunnel was found in Jammu and Kashmir close to the international border. "Hand-held control receiver and variety of sensors like, passive infrared sensor to detect movement of object in a narrow field of view, magnetic sensors to monitor movement of metallic objects such as weapons or vehicles and seismic sensors to identify ground vibration caused by vehicles or pedestrians (should be encompassed in the device)," stated the qualitative requirements floated by the Paramilitary.

Summary/Abstract |
From heavy cargo trucks to special trailers - cost drives the choice between the two, but what are they, and what are the real-world penalties? The success of any military operation, and most particularly intervention operation involving deployment over significant distances, depends on a significant extent on the availability of appropriate logistic support assets. These include, first and foremost tactical/logistic vehicles intended to transport and distribute supplies to first-line combat units.

Summary/Abstract |
much have been written about unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) and occasionally even about unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) but it appears not enough attention bas been paid to unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) even though these have the maximum potential in today's counter insurgency and battlefield applications. UAVs and UGVs have both received a major boost over the last few years thanks to the conflict in Afghanistan. Many new versions have been tested, some rejected and many concepts and operational practices evolved.
