Jammu: CIBMS 5.5 Km Smart Fencing takes place on Indo-Pak border
Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS) for 5.5 KM Long Smart Fencing on the Indo-Pak Border takes place on 17th September 2018 at Jammu
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh launched the 5.5-km 'smart fencing' pilot project on the Indo-Pak border in Jammu on September 17, 2018. It is the country's first such smart fencing that will get information about the crossing of the terrorist's border.
Equipped with modern technology, this fencing will make it easier to keep an eye on the intruders. This initiative is part of an comprehensive integrated border management system (CIBMS) to prevent infiltration and illegal immigration from Pakistan and Bangladesh in India.
The Modi government has taken this decision to seal the Indian border with the two countries completely. This technique will be used by the Border Security Force (BSF).
The introduction of a new border management system would reduce casualties among jawans. "It will also help decrease stress among the jawans deployed on the borders.
The CIBMS also was known as smart fencing uses a number of devices for surveillance, communication and data storage. Sensors like thermal imager, underground sensors, fibre optical sensors, radar and sonar will be mounted on different platforms like aerostat, tower and poles as part of the smart fence.
A comprehensive integration of such sensors and other technical systems of communication and data processing have been achieved in the CIBMS project. The signals reach the Unified Command and Control Centre where the BSF can monitor the border on the real-time basis.
The new smart system would provide round-the-clock surveillance on the border during hostile weather conditions including dust storm, fog or rain.
