India China Face-Off: India plans major changes in the surveillance system on LAC amid tensions with China.

he Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has almost developed the Border Observation and Surveillance System (BOSS). It has several sensor systems installed. At the same time, the Army has signed a deal of Rs 140 crore with an Indian company last month.

India is going to step up in the direction of streamlining the supervision of the northern border with its neighboring China. The movements of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) will now be monitored round the clock through drones, sensors, reconnaissance planes,and electronic warfare equipment. The motive behind giving such a big boost to the monitoring capability is to keep a keen eye on every infiltration attempt.

Military conflict with China has continued in eastern Ladakh since May last year. Meanwhile, China is rapidly building infrastructure on its border. This is the reason why India has also decided to make the surveillance and intelligence gathering mechanism on LSC to be of high quality. A defense ministry source said, "Like the 778-km-long Line of Control (LOC) along with Pakistan, LACs cannot be deployed continuously. Therefore, there is a need to upgrade the existing surveillance capability so much that they Keep on getting news of the movements of every moment. "

Sources said that to monitor the High-Altitude areas, there are plans to increase surveillance capability from small drones to remotely capable surveillance cameras and remotely operated aircraft systems. Also, there are talks of leasing three to four Heron UAVs from Israel. Besides, Harop kamikaze Attack drones are also to be purchased for the Air Force.

Here, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has almost developed the Border Observation and Surveillance System (BOSS). It has several sensor systems installed. At the same time, the Army has signed a deal of Rs 140 crore with an Indian company last month. Under the deal, advanced version drones will be purchased. "The arrival of such drones will bring a major change in our surveillance system at the strategic level. Battalion commanders and troops on the LAC will get clear pictures from moment to moment," a source said.

Keep in mind that on June 15 last year in the Galvan Valley of eastern Ladakh, PLA jawans attacked Indian soldiers fraudulently. In this incident, 20 Indian soldiers were killed, while more than 40 Chinese soldiers were reported killed. However, China has not yet confirmed the number of its soldiers killed. After this violent clash, India took a major change in its attitude towards China over the LAC and captured several strategic peaks. India and China have held several rounds of talks to end long-standing military tension. According to the consensus made in these, the soldiers of India and China have retreated slightly from some places, but the conditions have not changed much.
