    Indian Army deploys AI-based system to reduce manual surveillance at borders




     Digital Desk: The Indian Army has been installing AI-based surveillance
    systems on its western and northern borders in order to improve capabilities.



     



    In addition to installing AI-based surveillance systems at borders,
    sources in the defense establishment have stated that "They are utilizing it to maintain watch on real-time social media monitoring, pattern
    identification, and prediction of opponent courses of action, etc."



     



    "Real-time
    monitoring software powered by AI has been used in counter terrorism operations
    to gather intelligence. Eight places in the Northern and Southern Theater now
    have an AI-based suspicious vehicle recognition system installed "said a
    source.



     



    According to
    some, artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly increase the asymmetry of
    military operations.



     



    The employment of
    AI is expected to change current war fighting paradigms. Applications for
    artificial intelligence (AI) can be used for surveillance and detection,
    real-time social media monitoring, pattern identification, and predicting the
    next move of an opponent, among other things.



     



    The Indian Army
    has been working closely with Indian academia, Indian business, and the DRDO to
    realise challenging AI-based initiatives.



     



    To address this,
    the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering has built an AI Lab where
    AI projects have undergone thorough internal testing before being delivered to
    a production agency for deployment.



     



    On the western
    and northern frontiers, the Indian Army has placed several AI-Powered Smart
    Surveillance System units. The unit can process heterogeneous inputs from
    gadgets like handheld thermal imagers and PTZ cameras.



     



    This has significantly decreased the need for manual monitoring.



    There are eight spots in the Northern and Southern Theaters where
    an AI-based suspicious vehicle recognition system has been installed.

    counter terrorism operations to gather intelligence.
