Army to deploy remote-controlled guns at LoC to take on infiltrators

[volatile]

OK after that stop crying infiltration Rona Dhona

 

[BABA AGHORI]

Great news, i hope they mount high caliber guns.

 

[Whazzup]

What kind of gun will be used ?

I think they should use a 30 mm auto cannon . The flesh pieces the next batch sees should be deterrent enough.

Y just 30 mm? Lets fix this

Lets blow up those bitches.

Remote-controlled machine guns will make their debut at the line of control (LoC) by the year-end as the army prepares to tighten security measures to fend off infiltrators along vulnerable patches south of the Pir Panjal range that separates Jammu hills from the Kashmir valley.

The first prototype submachine guns operated by remote control are being tested in the Akhnoor sector and results show the deployment of these weapons will shield and assist soldiers as they go about their daily task of perimeter protection and intrusion detection, said Lieutenant General RR Nimbhorkar, commander of the Nagrota-based 16 Corps.

The locally-developed integrated contraption uses a mix of infrared sensors radiating a grid of beams to detect any movement up to a distance of 80 metres ahead of the border fence – the distance between the fence and the LoC can vary from 50 metres to over 2km depending on the terrain.

The sensors are linked to automatic guns mounted on rotors and mated to night-vision cameras providing live images to commanders manning workstations with mapping software in the bunkers.

A buzzer is sounded if the grid is broken, swivelling the weapon in the direction of the intrusion site. “If the target is visually identified as hostile, the observer simply presses a button to take it out,” said Brigadier PC Vyas who is implementing the remote-controlled weapons project.

A modification alongside the weapon’s trigger actuates the firing sequence when the remote button is pressed. The guns can be raised, lowered and rotated in a 150-degree arc.

The scope of automation is being expanded. Nimbhorkar, whose forces guard a 224-km stretch of the disputed border in Jammu and Kashmir, told HT, “The tests on Sten submachine guns have met expectations. Now, trials will be conducted on light machine guns. We hope to deploy remote-controlled weapons in areas identified by us in two months.” Nimbhorkar said the weapons would be deployed to “secure dead ground” hidden from soldiers due to topographical factors and other areas that are “extremely difficult” to patrol. Such patches are exploited by infiltrators, backed by the Pakistani army, to sneak into the country and cross the Pir Panjal range to foment strife and tension in the Kashmir valley.

“This in-house innovation will help troops keep infiltration to near-zero level,” he said.

Across J-K, there were 70 infiltration bids last year during which 65 terrorists managed to sneak in while 136 were pushed back. In 2013, there were 91 bids by 280 terrorists and 97 were able to slip past the army’s three-tiered counter-infiltration grid.

This move would be interesting although not much of a issue if some one wants to cross border.

Do i have to wait 35 years ?

Waiting is not a problem for you guys right... ?? you're waiting for kashmir since 48 right

Do i have to wait 35 years ?

unless Pakistan whines in the next UN session on it,you'll probably going to see it within a year or two.

This reminds me of that scene from The Jackal where Bruce Willis blows of Jack Blacks hand.

 

[Abingdonboy]

why sub machine gun??a LMG or that sort would be great.of course there is no need for a 30 cal as we're not engaging a lightly armored vehicle yet.

Hope Salahuddin doesn't comment on this or else Nawaz Shariff will again go to UN,whining over it.. another 100 crore will be in drain.

by the way,India made RCWS is pretty good.

Sub machine gun was clearly a mistype by the writer- no one is going to use a SMG in this role! That would be beyond absurd. My guess is a 7.62mm MMG.

Now that is hitting below the belt!

 

[A.M.]

Great news. Maybe now we'll actually see some proof that these supposed "infiltrators" actually exist.

i hope after THIS INIDIANS STOP CRYING ABOUT INFILTRATION.

because barbed wire, patrolling,motion detectors,thermal imaging and night vision capabilities have failed for india apparently.

so at least they should stop crying now right?

The United Nations has been warned that its protracted negotiations over the future of lethal autonomous weapons – or “killer robots” – are moving too slowly to stop robot wars becoming a reality.

Lobbying for a pre-emptive ban on the weapons is intensifying at the UN general assembly in New York, but a deal may not emerge quickly enough to prevent devices from being deployed, experts say.

“There is indeed a danger now that [the process] may get stuck,” said Christof Heyns, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.

“A lot of money is going into development and people will want a return on their investment,” he said. “If there is not a pre-emptive ban on the high-level autonomous weapons then once the genie is out of the bottle it will be extremely difficult to get it back in.”

Observers say the UK and US are seeking to water down an agreement so that it only includes emerging technology, meaning that any weapons put into practice while discussions continue are beyond the reach of a ban.
