In what can be seen as a first of a kind security deployment, a Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) -developed anti-drone system was deployed to guard the Red Fort during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech.
The made in India anti-drone system can detect and jam micro drones up to 3 kilometres and use laser to bring down a target up to 1-2.5 kilometres depending on the wattage of laser weapon.
