Chandigarh, September 19

To overcome the functional limitations of ground-based electronic intelligence gathering equipment, the Army has launched a project to develop an airborne system that can be mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Operating height is of great importance as the range and capability of electronic signal capturing equipment, when placed on an elevated platform, enhances manifold. Termed as an elevated platform for gathering intelligence through electronic support measures (ESM), the project is being executed by the Army’s Military College of Telecommunication Engineering at Mhow, near Indore. The ESM gather intelligence through passive “listening” to radio transmissions or electromagnetic radiations and the data so generated can be used to assess the enemy’s activity.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
