CISF signs MoU to enhance counter-drone skills of security personnel
The paramilitary force guards 370 units across the country, including those in the highly sensitive sectors such as aviation, nuclear power, space and oil refineries, among others, and it has been designated as the nodal agency to handle aerial threats at these installations
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Drone Federation of India (DFI) to bolster the counter-drone skills of its security personnel, particularly in safeguarding critical installations in sensitive sectors like aviation, nuclear power, space, and oil refineries.
The CISF, which currently guards 370 units across the country, has been designated as the point of contact for managing aerial threats at these installations. With the rapid advancement and increasing sophistication of drone technology, timely detection and neutralization of potentially dangerous drones has become crucial. The MoU aims to facilitate structured engagements with Indian drone startups and technology companies, supporting capacity building, applied research, and operational readiness.
The CISF has already trained 3,000 personnel in drone and anti-drone protocols, with 80 of its units employing drones for continuous monitoring, threat detection, and training.
