India Develops Technology-Driven Smart Border System for Enhanced Surveillance
India's Ministry of Home Affairs is developing a technology-driven 'Smart Border' system to enhance surveillance and management of its 15,106.7 km land borders with seven countries. The system will integrate AI, drones, sensors, and command centres from forward areas to New Delhi, enabling real-time monitoring and faster responses, especially in undemarcated or difficult terrains. A pilot project will begin on the Pakistan border, with coordination among border forces, local police, and state administrations to improve security and reduce physical patrolling.
