MILIPOL India 2025 exhibition
New Delhi: Advanced technologies to stop spying through hidden mobile devices, counter drone attacks, and enhance surveillance are set to strengthen India’s national security. They offer new tools to protect sensitive areas, borders, and public safety, as showcased at a major security exhibition, MILIPOL India, in the capital.
Two systems, Secure Meeting Guard and Secure Ops Room Guard, can block all radio frequency signals—used by mobile devices to send or receive information—in a specific area, creating zones where no mobile device can work. These tools address the growing risk of spying through mobile phones covertly embedded in everyday electronic appliances like televisions or refrigerators, ensuring that important meetings or operations stay safe from eavesdropping, a key concern for government and defence agencies, security experts explained. Their ability to completely neutralise signals makes them vital for high-security environments where even one active device could leak sensitive information.
Technologies to tackle drone attacks are also gaining attention, as drones shift from long-range surveillance to short-range strikes on borders, key infrastructure, and Very Very Important Person security. These include Drone Detection Systems to spot drones in the air, Networked Directional Drone Detectors and Jammers to block their signals, portable Backpack and Hand Held Drone Detectors and Jammers for mobile use, Handheld Drone Guns in various designs to disable drones, and Wearable Drone Detection and Jamming Systems that soldiers can wear. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning—methods that help computers learn and make decisions—these systems allow ground forces to stay alert and respond quickly to threats, offering a comprehensive approach to detect and stop drones, which are increasingly used for attacks or smuggling, experts noted.
Other solutions focus on improving security in tough conditions for various security agencies, including the Defence sector. Foliage-Penetrating Human Detection Systems can find people hiding in dense vegetation, useful for border patrols. Border and Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems help stop unauthorised entries, while Cross-Border Mobile Intelligence Gathering Solutions collect information from across borders. Search and Rescue Human Locator and Secure Emergency Communication Systems assist in finding people and communicating safely during emergencies, offering practical tools for defence and rescue operations. These locally developed solutions provide agile, cost-effective responses to dynamic security threats, according to technology analysts.
These ‘Made in India’ and international technologies were displayed at the MILIPOL India 2025 exhibition, being held from April 23 to 25 at Yashobhoomi India International Convention and Expo Centre in Dwarka, New Delhi.
MILIPOL India, a leading global event for homeland security, brings together companies, government officials, and experts to showcase innovations and address modern security challenges, with a focus on empowering Homeland Security, Central Armed Police Forces, and other security agencies.
The event attracted top officials from the Defence and Central Armed Police Forces, who visited pavilions including that of Shyam VNL, the developer of the anti-spying and anti-drone systems, and showed interest in the solutions on display. During the event, Rajiv Mehrotra, Chairman of Shyam VNL, delivered a keynote address, noting the importance of technology in national security. Other exhibitors like IDEMIA India, MKU Limited, and Adani Defence & Aerospace also contributed, highlighting the growing role of technology in addressing modern security challenges, event organisers noted.
Shyam VNL, the developer behind the anti-spying and anti-drone systems, specialises in security and communication solutions, managing everything from design to maintenance. The company uses its own technologies to create customised, future-ready tools for defence and security forces, contributing to India’s security landscape, according to its statement at the exhibition.
The exhibition also showcased advanced security tools from other exhibitors. IDEMIA India presented its MORPHO Biometric Identification System, which uses fingerprint and facial recognition to identify individuals, helping security forces verify identities at checkpoints or borders with high accuracy, as per company details.
MKU Limited displayed its Night Vision Monocular, a lightweight device that allows personnel to see in complete darkness using infrared technology, enhancing visibility during night operations like border patrols, according to their product specifications.
Adani Defence & Aerospace showcased its DRISHTI Counter-Drone System, which detects and neutralises unauthorised drones using radar and jamming technology, protecting critical sites like airports or military bases, as confirmed by the company.
