In today’s globalized world, no country is immune to the threat of terrorism. Several countries in South Asia, including India, have been facing the challenge of terrorism and over the past few years, there have been numerous acts of terror in these regions.
Many of these incidents are found to have complex international linkages and possible connections with transnational organized crime. Terrorism is an evolving phenomenon, with terrorist organizations continuously changing their modus operandi, thereby adding to the complexity and challenges faced by criminal justice practitioners.
Nowadays, there is a pressing need of drones in anti-terror operations as they are equipped with leading specifications and capabilities. They can provide 360-degree coverage and intelligent analyzing capacity which helps to detect, locate, and identify potential threats and track terrorists.
What’s more? Drones can help in surveillance and with the use of artificial intelligence, identifying risks and decision making becomes quite effective and instantaneous. Drones are now used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and covert operations due to their rapid deployment and turnaround times and precise targeting capability.
