“Laser Walls” Up For Guarding The Indo-Pak Border

Have you ever came across movie scenes in which lasers are put up so that intruders can be detected as soon as they come in its contact? Well, brace yourself for something interesting.

This is happening for real along the Indo-Pak border.

Following the Pathankot attack, about a dozen “laser walls” have been installed along the India-Pakistan international border in Punjab to tackle the unsuitable terrain and keep an eye against intruders and terrorists who try to cross over the Indian side. The functioning of these “laser walls” is being monitored through a satellite-based signal command system and armed with night and fog operability tools.

According to reports, while eight infra-red and laser beam intrusion detection systems are “up and working” at the international border near Punjab, four more will be operationalised in the next few days.

Back to Physics, a laser wall is a mechanism to detect objects which pass through the line of sight between the laser source and the detector. A laser beam over a river sets off a loud siren in case of a breach.

The “laser walls” are being monitored by the BSF. The decision to install these was taken by the BSF two years ago as barbed wire fencing could not be installed in many infiltration prone areas due to the unsupportive terrain. It was only after the Pathankot terror attack,  the Union home ministry and BSF sped up the deployment and activation of these walls along the long and winding border suspecting that the terrorists had crossed over to the Indian side from here.

According to the PTI, 45 laser walls are being planned to be installed in the areas along the international border in Punjab and Jammu and a blueprint is also prepared in this regard according to which the BSF will utilize this technology to conduct pilot project to pick up suspected movements along the international border.

Apart from these, four similar pilot projects are being taken up along the IB in Jammu, Gujrat and West Bengal in stretches of 30-40 kms, work on which will begin by next month.

Pathankot attack was an eye opener for the BSF as more than 1000 additional men have been deployed in the Punjab sector to increase ambush operations and patrolling in the area.

Lets just hope that India is always prepared to tackle situations like this in the future, unlike doing it after the terror strikes.

Over the years, there has been vast development in the air forces of the world and these changes are referred to ‘generation of fighter jets’. With each generation, there has been a subsequent change in speed, stealth and lethality of the aircraft of the world. We take a look at the next generation of fighter jet that will dominate the skies:
1. F-22 RAPTOR

F-22 RAPTOR

NDA btech course

The National Defence Academy (NDA) has got the final approval for introducing BTech courses for its cadets from June this year. The Chief of Staff Committee, who advises the government and ensures jointsmanship in the armed forces, has given a nod to the NDA to kick off the new course.

The course will be implemented in two phases – in phase I Naval cadets of the 136th course (which will start in the month of June) will pursue the course and in the second phase Army and Air Force cadets will be allowed to pursue the course only after getting approval from the respective headquarters of the forces.

Confirming this development, NDA PRO Lt Commander Shibu Devasia told Sakal Times that Naval cadets of the 136th course will initially pursue the course. “We expect a strength of around 30 to 40 cadets in the first batch of the course,” he added.

To crack  SSB interview,  recommend you to get “Let’s Crack SSB Interview” book from Amazon.
These cadets will study the course for three years at the NDA and the final two semesters will be completed at the respective finishing academies. The BTech degree will be given in three streams – Mechanical, Electronics and Telecommunication and Computer Science.

“The academic syllabus has been approved by JNU while the All India Council For Technical Education (AICTE), after examining the infrastructure at the academy, gave their go-ahead for the course,” Devasia said.

On the onset of the course, the recruitment of lecturers, civilian staff and improvement in the infrastructure will be done by the academy, NDA sources said. The academy is a tri-services training academy and cadets join after Class XII. Presently, after completing a three-year training, the cadets are awarded a BA or BSc degree.

Thereafter, these cadets go for a year to the Indian Military Academy (IMA) at Dehradun, INA at Ezhimala and the Air Force Academy (AFA) at Dundigul for their advanced training of their respective force. Interestingly, way back in 2012, the academy had started BTech courses and 350 cadets from 127th course had joined but it had to shut as they could not get requisite approval from concerned authorities.

The Thin Line Between Being Strong And Dominant

By

IAF women

As we all know SSB is an event of cooperation and working with people who when don’t know before. The idea behind is it to see how well we get along with people and what is our attitude when we do the same.

Every aspirant who comes there is with one motive and that is to get recommended, but in the process of doing so they forget the important point of cooperation and dominate. This sometimes is conscious and sometimes subconscious.

Below are few scenarios of SSB where this can happen:

  1. Discussion during screening

Right after the word go from the assessor people try had to project their point of view in the discussion, the idea being to project themselves and their story. This is ok to an extent but we need to be careful and let other points too because in PPDT you are expected to come down to a conclusion so cooperation is more important than dominance, If the other person story is logical be supportive and try to add you point in it as well.

  1. During Group discussions

The idea behind GD is to see the depth of your understanding and the way you convey you’re thought to the team. When you have a valid point that can take the discussion forward put it forth at the same time listen to others and put the point so as to take the discussion forward. When you feel their point is not right, project it politely and not saying it wrong right away, the best way to do it is being factual.

In GD it is seen how accommodative you are to ideas and can take a team discussion forward, yes your knowledge is tested but repetitive talking is not appreciated, be strong on your point but don’t dominate the discussion. At times it can happen subconsciously try to control it.

  1. GTO Tasks

Like GD the idea again is to see the level of cooperation. This is not the place to show you never give up attitude. Do not keep implementing your ideas alone, this shows that you are not open to ideas and don’t keep taking initiative without a plan. Neither being strong not dominance will help you in this, so corporate to succeed.

The most common mistake is that we try to be dominant just to make sure you are seen by the assessor, but they watch all your progress so try to get the task done rather than being dominant.

Being strong on your point is always right thing to do but it should be a conscious decision considering all the logical scenarios, else you will end up dominant and can take in wrath of your teammates which is not ideal. You can certainly ensure you maintain the line between being dominant and strong by keep a check on yourself and asking for feedback from you mates, friends, colleagues so to be at the right frequency during you SSB.

The Indian Army’s sole role over the years was guarding the country until now when it has undertaken another task – producing Olympic champions. It aims to achieve this through its new talent-generating programme – ‘Mission Olympics’.

Under Indian Army’s Mission Olympics, ten soldiers have so far been qualified for the Rio Olympics to be held in August this year.

These include, Naib Subedar Jitu Rai, who has won the quota for shooting in 50m Air Pistol. During 51st ISSF World Championship in Granada, Spain he qualified for the Rio by winning silver medal. The Gurkha Regiment soldier is presently training in Mhow. Besides Rai, two more army soldiers have booked birth for various shooting events.

Others are Hav Sandeep Singh from Jat Regiment, selected for athletics in 50 kilometre walk event. Hav Nitender Singh Rawat from Kumaon Regiment, Hav Kheta Ram from Jat Regiment and Hav Gopi T from the Artillery Regiment have also been selected for Athletics full marathon category. All these athletes are training in Army Sports Institute (ASI) in Pune.

Hav Ganapathi and Hav Devender Singh have been selected for athletics in 20km walk. Madras regiment’s Hav Irfan KT too qualified for Rio during National Open Race Walking Championship. And the latest to join the list is Dattu Bhokanal, who has been qualified for Olympics under rowing.

The ‘Mission Olympics’ was launched in 2001 to groom youngsters into potential Olympic medal winners. The entire programme is an elaborate process of creating international facilities, scientific backup, hiring of the best coaches including foreign nationals and consistent monitoring of the athletes.army mission olympics

Indian Army has identified 10 disciplines, in which it believes India stands a chance to win a medal. These are athletics, diving, archery, weightlifting, boxing, rowing, sailing, wrestling, equestrian and shooting.

The Army is also creating a massive sports complex in Pune where 200 athletes can reside and train on Olympic-standard facilities. Army Sports Nodes are also being set up at 10 places for the 10 disciplines.

Some training facilities of the Olympics hopeful of the Army include:

Meerut, where a 260 acres sprawling campus of Army Equestrian Centre is spread. It is the only training centre of the world which has the facility for horse racing.

At Mhow, practice session for shooters aiming for Olympics is at its peak at the Army Marksmen Unit.

At Mumbai, located is Army Yachting Node (AYN). It has been giving sailing lessons to the participants who would be struggling to win an Olympic medal.

In the city of Pune, the weight lifters are trained who will be able to qualify for a national/international level competition.

Other facilities include the Army Sports Institute at Pune, where personnel are trained for athletics, archery, boxing, diving, weightlifting, wrestling and fencing.

As evident, the Indian Army has laid out the road map for a concerted vision for maximum qualifications for the Rio Olympics with the aim of ‘finishing strong’ at the podium with medals for the country. The Army is already recruiting young athletes to the post of a Havildar as motivation who have performed well in junior and sub-junior levels.

This is definitely be a proud moment for all the Army fraternity along with the nation. We at SSBCrack salute all the participants and wish them all their luck to bag a medal for India this Rio Olympics.
