Summary

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has received the 'Prajna' satellite imaging system, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), to bolster internal security and counter-terrorism operations. This AI-enabled technology will provide real-time decision support to security agencies, enhancing their capabilities in monitoring sensitive regions. The system was handed over by DRDO Secretary Samir V Kamat to Union Secretary Govind Mohan at a ceremony on April 21, 2026. In a related development, the Indian Navy successfully tested the Air Droppable Container 'ADC-150', which improves naval logistics by enabling quick delivery of critical supplies to vessels at sea. The ADC-150 has been designed to deliver a 150 kg payload and has completed successful trials. Both systems are expected to significantly enhance India's defense capabilities. The DRDO aims to achieve self-reliance in defense technology through these innovations. Key Points: • The MHA received the 'Prajna' satellite imaging system to enhance internal security. • The AI-enabled system supports real-time decision-making for security agencies. • The Indian Navy tested the ADC-150, improving logistics for naval operations.
