New Delhi: Less than two weeks after the Uri terror attack, the Ministry of Defence has okayed an electronic warfare system to enhance the Army’s capability to fight a low-intensity conflict in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), which met under the chairmanship of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, okayed the Rs 330-crore project. This would include equipment that would not only jam gadgets, including mobile phones, radio transmitters and thermal imagers, but also access the conversation of suspects. There would also be a set of sensors to pick the movement of the targeted people.
The DAC also approved the purchase of Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) and a new repair facility for Scorpene submarines at the Mumbai naval dockyard. — TNS
