India is reportedly preparing to install Israeli radar technology in the jungles of the volatile Kashmir Valley region as part of operations to prevent terrorists from infiltrating from Pakistan.
Representatives from India's Border Security Force are due to visit Israel later in August as part of the acquisition of the detection system, a senior security officials told India Today TV this week. During the trip, the Indian forces are set to receive training on the system's operations.
The so-called foliage penetrating radar is allegedly equipped with high-sensitivity sensors that can track human and vehicular movement in areas of dense foliage.
According to India Today, the Indian government will established a 24/7 control room to monitor the signals received from the Israeli technology installed throughout the Kashmir Valley and the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan.
India is working to erect an air-tight defense mechanism along the borders with nuclear-armed Pakistan modeled after Israeli security apparatus, the officials said.
Indian National Security Adisor Ajit Doval approved the deal to purchase the radar system from Israel, the officials added.
India and neighboring Pakistan have been embroiled in a territorial dispute over the Jammu and Kashmir region since the partition of India in 1947.
Islamic insurgents, many identifying with jihadi elements, have carried out attacks in the region in efforts to claim the contested land for Pakistan.
