PANJIM: Goa Police on Monday said they successfully tested Drone Detection System for public safety and privacy during New Year’s eve.
“Due to increase in use of unauthorised Drone/UAV in Goa during heavily crowded events and beach activities which can be a major potential risk to public safety and privacy, Goa Police has successfully tested a new solution which can live-track current location of flying unauthorised Drones. The data can also be stored for later investigation,” a press statement issued through the Department of Information Department states.
The system was deployed in Baga area with ATS personnel under supervision of SP Karthik Kashyap. The information further reveals that the system is mobile and works for a radius of 5 km range while it also has the facility of PA system to announce and alert the public.
“It can also be used to provide added safety to VVIP Movements and other big events in the State of Goa such as Carnival, etc. wherein large number of people congregate. This Drone can be used to monitor crowd movements, any suspicious movements within the crowd; also vehicular traffic movements can be monitored and necessary instructions can be passed to the ground staff,” it said.
