Delhi Police going to use DRDO Netra for street surveillance


Looking at the increasing crime, Delhi Police will now use DRDO Netra for street surveillance.

The Netra is an Indian, light-weight, autonomous UAV for surveillance and reconnaissance operations, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation's (DRDO) Research and Development Establishment (R&DE), and Idea Forge, a Mumbai-based private firm.

 The UAV was featured in the Amir Khan-starrer hit movie 3 Idiots.

"We would in all probability use Netra. We have asked its developers to tweak a few things as per our needs," said a senior police official.

"The model currently available is quite costly as it has Kevlar (an armour), which we don't need here in urban landscape. Secondly, wind shear and all weather IBM toughpad are not exactly our requrement. So if these can be dropped and cost comes down, it would suit our needs," he added.

Every drone will fly at a height of approximately 200 metres and will cover a hexagonal grid area of three to four kilometres. Each drone will be linked to Quick Response Team vehicle which will monitor it in real time and respond quickly if it sees something wrong.
