India’s icon of the seven wonders will be receiving a modern security boost with an enhanced anti-drone system to be installed. Taj Mahal Security boost follows rising illicit drone activity, which is causing security issues as well as encroaching into the safe heritage site.
Heightened drone traffic around the Taj Mahal calls for stepped-up security.
In the last two years, instances of unauthorized flying of drones near the Taj Mahal zone have put security officials on high alert. These include any form of spying, unauthorized photography, and even potential violations of security that can compromise the security of tourists as well as the monument.
How the Anti-Drone System Works
The new technology will detect and disturb illegal drone flight.
The anti-drone device to be installed at the Taj Mahal consists of:
Drone detection radars to identify aerial threats.
Electronic jammers to bring unauthorized drones down to the ground from mid-air flight.
Automatic warning systems to alert security officials of drones.
With the enhanced system, governments will enforce stricter no-fly zones around the Taj Mahal. The pilots of drones and tourists will be required to follow security regulations, and perpetrators can be punished legally, e.g., with fines or taking away the drones.
Security enhancement at Taj Mahal is a model for other heritage sites.
The success of anti-drone technology use on the monument can serve as the template for other Indian ancient heritage sites to be equipped with the same security. The authorities will consider the factors of risk at such sites like Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and India Gate while assigning priority to heritage protection.
The installation of an anti-drone security system is a historic milestone for protecting the place against modern security threats. With the help of the services of state-of-the-art technology, the authorities wish to protect the cultural heritage of the monument, safety of the tourists, and security for decades.
