DRDO to develop technologies to fight terrorists
New Delhi, Feb 20 (PTI) Against the backdrop of increasing terror threats and insurgency, the DRDO today said it has ventured into technologies to support security forces in operations, including against nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) attacks.
DRDO chief V K Saraswat said his organisation has opened a Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) Division that would cater to weapons, equipment and life support systems for the paramilitary and police forces.
"Most of the wars in the 20th century are low-intensity conflicts, sub-conventional war, asymmetric warfare, counter-insurgency, and terrorism. These are going to be the emerging battle scenario. It is going to be the order of the day for the next 100 years.
"DRDO now has very focused programmes on technologies for low-intensity conflicts, which includes NBC weapons," Saraswat said at a media interaction on the eve of a three-day DRDO Director's Conference here.
