JAMMU (PTI): Indian Army's Norther Command Headquarters has floated tenders for the purchase of six Border Surveillance Management Systems (BSMS) for deployment in Jammu and Kashmir.
"A surveillance system is required which can cater to Indian Army's peacetime requirements, both during day and night," said the Request for Proposal (RFP) document released recently by Northern Command's First Field Ordnance Depot.
The move comes in the light of increased attempts at infiltration across the Line of Control (LoC) in J-K in recent months.
The border area already has in place a strong surveillance mechanism, including three-tier fencing, flood-lighting, sensors, thermal imagers and manual patrolling, and the BSMS is only expected to enhance the Army's anti-infiltration capabilities.
