Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said modern drone technology will make border management, security and surveillance more effective in remote and forested areas. He made the remarks on Tuesday after inaugurating the Border Guard Bangladesh’s School of Surveillance and Drone Warfare at the BGB Sylhet Sector headquarters, where he unveiled the plaque as chief guest.
The minister said drones equipped with night-vision and thermal technology will enable continuous digital surveillance in areas where deploying personnel on the ground is difficult. He said the technology could help monitor activity across the border at night and identify routes used for smuggling, narcotics and illegal weapons. He also said BGB personnel recently used drones in rescue operations and to deliver relief supplies to remote locations in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
The school currently trains BGB members in border surveillance and drone warfare, with plans to expand training to civilian personnel in the future. Ahmed said the institution aims to add the world’s most modern drone technologies within one to two years. The inauguration included a briefing, a visit to the school complex and display centre, and an operational drill and drone display.
