The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) plans to enhance its capacity to tackle potential threats from drones and cyber attacks on vital installations. CISF Director General Praveer Ranjan stated that the force will focus on drone and anti-drone training as part of its modernisation plan.
The CISF has established a drone training and anti-drone capability training centre in Rajasthan and has received approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to set up a Remote Pilot Training Organisation for training on drone operation and anti-drone systems.
Additionally, the CISF has designated itself as the nodal agency for aerial threats at vital installations. The force is also developing its cyber security capacity, with the establishment of an integrated cyber security lab, a dedicated data centre, and a zero-trust network to safeguard its digital infrastructure.
Under its modernisation plan for 2026-30, the CISF has identified 76 items worth ₹819 crore, which include training on drone solutions and cyber security enhancements.
