Indian Army Develops Multi-Layer Steel Mesh Screens to Protect Against Drone Threats
The Indian Army is developing multi-tier steel mesh screens to protect sensitive border-area buildings from drone attacks. These screens, about 37 meters long and 20 meters wide, feature three layers designed to intercept and neutralize small, low-flying drones. The outer layer includes camouflage to reduce detection. This initiative complements existing anti-drone defenses like guns, lasers, and jammers, addressing increased drone intrusions reported along the India-Pakistan border, particularly in Punjab and Rajasthan.
