National Security Guards (NSG) has been designated as the nodal agency by the Union Home Ministry to equip other paramilitary forces and state police departments with anti-drone capabilities.
The NSG, was tasked, in April, with providing training and other support to police organisations in dealing with drones which are increasingly being weaponised across the globe, posing serious security threat.
NSG, which has acquired specialised skillsets domestically, has already trained police forces from Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab in anti-drone warfare.
Indian security establishment woke up to the serious threat posed by drone when two bombs were dropped through the aerial platform at a Jammu airbase last June. Other than that, Pakistan has been using drones to air drop consignments of arms and contraband mainly in Jammu and Kashmir, and Punjab.
There are private players which are manufacturing individual equipment but not the complete anti-drone system as a whole.
