GK and monthly revision
Centre plans integrated command centres to step up border security
The Centre plans to establish integrated command centres under a 'smart border' architecture combining AI, sensors, and surveillance systems to enhance border security. A pilot project will soon commence along the Pakistan border to address drone-based smuggling threats. This unified command-and-control framework aims to modernize border management through technology integration. The initiative is significant for defence and internal security topics in competitive exams.
