An advanced anti-drone system has been put in place to bolster security at the iconic Taj Mahal, according to police statements. This strategic move aims to protect the monument from unauthorized aerial threats.
Syed Arib Ahmed, Assistant Commissioner of Police for Taj Security, revealed that the newly installed system can deactivate drones entering a restricted 500-metre airspace around the site. The system's effective range spans 8 kilometers, but security measures focus on the immediate vicinity due to the site's sensitivity.
Utilizing cutting-edge radio frequency and GPS jamming technology, the system promises rapid response capabilities. If a drone is detected and disabled, a specially trained team is deployed quickly to manage the situation and identify the drone operator. Similar systems have been used by Uttar Pradesh Police at major events, enhancing security protocols across the region.
