'Invisible' laser walls to bolster security along border with Pak in J-K

May 13, 2017 12:06

The Border Security Force is all set to get more teeth to man the 198 km India-Pakistan international border using a newly developed technology that can detect intrusions and relay information immediately to the nearest post for action.

Developed by Delhi-based defence IoT firm, CRON Systems, the made-in-India technology is called Kavach series laser walls and is a notch higher than the existing laser walls.

Laser walls, because of their beams, were visible. And the terrain and alignments (in the region) were a problem. We were looking for a wall that is invisible on the ground, cannot be felt, and is more effective, said Rakesh Sharma, former inspector general of BSFs Jammu Frontier.

CRON Systems have come up with this intrusion detection system based on infrared array, which is invisible. It is more advanced than laser walls, he said, adding that it can be used along the Jammu border with Pakistan which has 13 rivers and rivulets, besides unfenced marshy lands.

Kavach walls can also work in transparent water and glass, he said.
