INTRODUCTION Cnaaan) Electronic City Bangalore is an information technology hub, located irl Anekal taluk) It is one of India's largest electronic industrial parks, spread over 904 acres in Koriappana Agrahara and Doddathogur villages in Bangalore. It consists of three zones called phases — Phase I, Phase Il and Phase I!!, Electronics City was established by Keonics, Karnataka Electronics and is a pioneer in the development of information technology infrastructure. There are approximately 200 IT/ITES companies located in Electronics City. In 1997, the maintenance and upkeep of Electronics City was handed over by Keonics to ELCIA, the Electronics City Industries Association, with representatives from units in the enclave, for effective local governance and management. Security was provided by ELCIA, who have depleyed around 500 private security as well as also inducted Central Industrial Security Force on 29 JAN 2010. CCTV cameras are installed on strategic locations. On 18 March 2013, a notification under section 364-A of the Karnataka Municipalities Act, 1964 (Karnataka Act 22 of 1964) by the Urban Development Department has brought Electronics City Phases |, Il IIl under the Electronics City Industrial Township Area (ELCITA) The goals of ELCITA are to Develop Electronics City as a self sufficient model township with excellent infrastructure and attain scalable entrepreneurship to achieve global benchmarks. A numbers of major IT giants like Infosys, Wipro, HP, Fanuc India, HICAL, BHEL, SIEMENS, TCS, and many more are located in the electronics city. LOCATION: ELCITA, Bangalore is situated next to NH-7 (Hosur Road) at the outskirts of Bangalore City, Karnataka. The ELCITA, Bangalore Campus is spread over nearly 904 acres of land. The campus has more than 200 large and small industries are employing nearly 4 lakh personnel 2 OBJECTIVE.: The objective of this SOP are as under: ~ a. To raise awareness amongst CISF personnel of this unit about sub-conventional aerial threats and the approach to tackle it b. _ To enumerate likely targets of sub-conventional aerial threats and the present mechanism to tackle the threat, ¢. To sensitize and train CISF personnel of this unit to scan, detect, and report aerial objects and also procedures to neutralize the sub-conventional aerial platform. d. __ To formalize and establish communication set up and reporting procedures among CISF/ stake holders. This SOP has been prepared and modified in accordance with the threat perception at E-City Bangalore. The SOP covers threats arising out of such sub-conventional aerial platforms that mey pose a threat to the E-City Bangalore, especially, those that are not detected by the radars, but visually sighted.3. Likely Targets of Sub-conventional Aerial Threats in the Electronics City, Bangalore Though, the entire Electronics City, Bangalore is sensitive and has threats of Terrorist Attacks, Fedayeen Attack, bomb blast, yet there is an enhanced threat to high rise buildings using Sub-conventional Aerial platforms, Likely Targets of Sub-conventional Aerial Threats in the E-City area are. Infosys campus Wipro campus Tech Mahindra. HCL Technologies Ltd Velankani TATA power TATA consultancy Software Technology park of India L&T Cyber Park. SIEMENS DXC Continental Educational institutes Hotels DPRrATSse>pa07m 3 aor As and when necessary, list of potential targets / buildings can be modified in consultation with local police 4. CONVENTIONAL AERIAL PLATFORM: Civil and fighter planes, missiles etc. 5. SUB-CONVENTIONAL AERIAL PLATFORMS: are small flying objects like a) Para-gliders b) Micro -light aircraft, ©) Aero-models, 4) RPAS (UAV/Drones) etc. which do not make much noise and fly at low altitude, Therefore, the sub-conventional aerial platform cannot be detected by conventional radars and can be a serious threat The aerial threats are complex challenge to address and neutralize The detection of sub-conventional aerial platform by conventional radars is restricted due to their small size and the low heights at which it can fly. Hence, visual means are best suited for their detection. Their threat can emerge without any prior warning or provocation as compared to conventional threats. The sub-conventional threats, however, require an integrated approach as it requires the coordinated involvement of the security agencies and other stake holders for its detection and neutralization 5.1 The threat from the air is compounded by the easy availability of sports equipments such as para-gliders, para-motors, micro-light aircraft, aero -models and RPAD /drones in the market and also due to the following: - a, __ It requires no license at present, except for micro -light air crafts & Remote Pilot Aircraft Station RPAS (Drones.) b. It has long range and good maneuverability ©. It can carry destructive loads, bombs etc.d. It requires small area to take-off and land, . _ It is easily available in the open market 5.2 These flying machines can carry bombs, suicide bombers, carry and drop IEDs, at any location or indulge in random shooting with fire arms resulting in disruption and damage to civic life and Vital Installations 5.3 RPAS (Drones) (also called UA/UAVIUAS) consists of an unmanned Aircraft (UA), a Remote Pilot Station (RPS) command and control (C2) link, the maintenance system and the operating personnel. 5.4 Classification of RPAS (Drones) A. Long Endurance RPAS Drones can operate even beyond 200kms and have an endurance of 24 hrs or more. These are sub divided in to High Altitude Long Endurance Hale RPAS (drones) and Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) RPAS (drones) a. _ HALE RPAS (Drones) have long endurance i.e. can operate for long hours, It can operate above 35,000 ft. b. MALE RPAS (drones) have long endurance i.e. can operate for long hours. It can operate below 35,000 ft B. Tactical RPAS (drones) can operate up to the range of 200km. It can be sub divided in to short and medium range RPAS (drones) a. Medium Range RPAS (drones) have operational range up to 100km to 200 km. b. Short Range RPAS (drones) have operational range up to 100km. c. Mini RPAS (drones) are tactical RPAS (drones) used in very close ranges. It has an endurance of about two hours arid weight between 1 kg to 20 kg. D. Micro RPAS (drones) are smaller in size than mini RPAS (drones), and can fit in one’s palm. It has an endurance of about one hour. E. Civil RPAS (drones) can be further classified in accordance with its weight as indicated below a Large- Greater than 150 kg b. Small- Greater than 20 Kg and less than 150 Kg c. Mini - Greater than 1 kg and less than or equal to 20 kg, d. micro - Less than or equal to 1 Kg. e. —Nano- Less than 250 grams. 5.5 Rules/ regulation /Procedures: i) Large RPAS (drones): of classification 5.4 A (a)&(b) and 5.4 B (a) are of Defence purpose and are not allowed by the Defence Forces /IAF for use by civilians, ii) Small/Mini/Micro RPAS (drones) or RPAS drone category §.4(b), 5.4C and 5.4D can also be restricted by IAF/ DGCA. iii) Small/ Mini /Micro RPAS(Drones) the civil aviation requirements (CAR) for its purchase, registration, use, height restrictions (regarding flight - altitude, power, weight, range, etc), operator certification, operational limits / restrictions etc. has been issued by DGCA 6. Para-gliders, Hang — gliders: 6.1 Hang-gliding and Paragliding are a class of aero-sports categorized differently for their design and construction. Para- gliders can take off using hill tops and cliffs. They can also be launched in plains from high rise buildings and from flat grounds using a ‘winch’flauncher.6.2 Thereat perception: Para-gliders need to fly from a hill slope and cliffs or high rise building or using ‘winch on plain grounds. The obstructions by high rise building do not provide an opportunity to para -gliders to go a long distance in the air. However, possibility exists of its use in throwing timed explosive devices on the ground causing massive loss of public life and property or including in random firing or could even be a suicide bomber, in which case the threat could be greater. Since aero -models can carry @ substantial payload, including explosives (IED), which can be dropped at a predetermined location or the aero model can be crashed in to pre- determined target, it is a much bigger threat, 7. Registration of Aircraft: a) The procedure for registration of conventional air crafts is as per the prevalent Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) issued by MoC/VDGCA. b) MoCA/DGCA has issued the Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) on Civil use/operation of RPAS (drones). ¢) — DGCAwill maintain a list of owners of para-gliders, para-motors, powered hang-gliders, micro-light aircraft, hot air balloons, RPAS (drones) in all states/UTs and provide it to the State/ UT Police for its verification. DGCA shall direct the owners to regulate / pronibit flying in State / UT air space, as _ necessary in consultation with the State/ UT concerned. 8. Security of the entire nation can be divided roughly into two concentric rings. The outer ring covers the border areas both on land and in the sea. It is defended by the Army, BSF and ITBP on land; Navy and Coast Guard in the sea/ coastal areas; and Air Force in air. Any aerial threat from across the border by fighter planes, missiles etc, is immediately dealt by the Air Force over land and sea. 9. As per Union War Book 2010, IAF is responsible for the Air Defence of Indian airspace, IAF has to maintain security over Indian airspace/ Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) during war and peace, and prevent its misuse by adversary! anti-national elements to launch attack on our territory. To achieve this, IAF has to be informed of all aerial flying activities in order to identify the unknown/rogue aerial vehicles from the friendly aerial vehicles and initiate timely action against these to neutralize the threat. 10. IAF and Director General Civil Aviation (DGCA) have put in place adequate rules and regulations for governing and managing flights by manned air-crafts (military and civil) in Indian skies. 11. RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENGAGEMENT: The responsibility of engaging aerial threats will be with following agencies: - a. Conventional aerial threats which are detected by Radar including threats from hijacked aircraft — the IAF as per their prescribed procedure. /b. Hostile sub-conventional aerial platforms like para-gliders, UAVs, UAS, Micro-light aircraft etc. visually sighted within Infosys campus shall be engaged by CISF in coordination with IAF and local police ©. Look for the movement of such aerial platforms. If the aerial platform is un-manned and //_ flying/sustaining over the Infosys campus, immediate action shall be taken to nullify the12. 13. 14. 15. threat. If the aerial piatform is manned, give them warning by signals to fly away. If positive response is not there, an immediate action shail be talen to nullify the threat, d. The Concerned QRT In-Charge of CISF will take the action on the orders of the Unit Commander or in accordance with prevailing situation to nullify the threat after analyzing the situation Security arrangements by Indian Air Force a. Indian Air Force has made extensive arrengements for countering any threat from the air by conventional aerial vehicles such as fighter planes, missiles etc. b. The IAF is responsible ‘o identify between ‘friendly’ and unknown airborne objects and initiate appropriate tactical action to destroy the object if declared ‘hostile’ c. If any flying object is missed by the IAF or takes off from a location which is close to the Infosys installations/area (and therefore does not come to the notice of IAF observation posts), it will be the responsibility of State Police and CISF of the Infosys to take action against flying object and its owner. Assistance from other forces, if deployed in location, can be taxen. The IAF will generally not be able to detect para-gliders / para- motors/ micro-light aircraft /aero-models /RPAS (drone) taking off near E-City. Therefore, such flying objects should be handled by local police and CISF deployed at E-City Bangalore. Criteria for declaring ‘Hostile’ a Sub-Conventional Aerial Object: - a) For unmanned Sub -Conventional Aerial Vehicles: in case the sub- conventional aerial object that is visually sighted in a No Fly Zone, it may be declared as “hostile” and engaged as per procedure laid down in this SOP. b) For manned Sub- Conventional Aerial_Vehicles: Any manned sub- conventional aerial object that is visually sighted in a No Fly Zone will be identified as Hostile based on the following criteria: - i The object is visually seen to be armed ji, The object is visually seen to be carrying out manifest hostile acts (attack on people /crowd /building /vital installation / carrying or dropping any load like bombs, guns, missiles, inflammable material etc.) or flying in a hostile manner. ill, If already declared “Hostile” by IAF or Nodal Officer designated by the security agency of the vital installations for sensitive area. iv. Diverts from its flight path and does not reve-t back despite of orders/ signal SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS BY CENTRAL MINISTRIES AND THE VITAL INSTALLATION UNDER CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. a. Action by Administrative Ministries of Vital Installations. The Administrative Ministry! Department of the VA /VP will form Standing Group for Coordination and review of security arrangements (SG-CRSA) for its vital installation, with members from administrative ministry / management of the vital installation, IB, CISF, State Police, IAF, ADA. The committee meets periodically to review the security of its vital installations,b. Similarly , a Sub —Committee will be formed by each VA/VP for quick reaction and coordination with their SG-CRSA, and all concerned , in case of any contingency including aerial threat from Para-gliders, Para-motors, hand gliders, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), UAS ( Unmanned Aerial Systems), Micro-light aircraft etc, The sub- committee(s) /Security Forces(s) of its neighboring VA/VP, for coordinated action the security of the area and for quick coordinated response. ©. The SG-SRA and its Sub- Committee will also frame a Contingency plan to meet such aerial threats; and note down the details of contact persons in case of any exigency/emergency. It shall also carry out mock drills to streamline the procedure and sensitize all concerned 16. Preventive measures / Implementation of Plan: Many incidences of use of these sub-conventicnal aerial platforms by civilians in sensitive areas have arisen out of ignorance about the rules goveming the use of such platforms. Therefore, it is prudent to make general public aware about the prohibition of use of such platforms without the required permissions. The following measures may be taken to prevent and minimize the threats arising out of such aerial platforms. 46.A. LEGISLATIVE MEASURES: These measures include procedures, regulatory framework as well as penal provisions to apprehend violators and initiate punishment actions by security agencies. The CARs prepared by MoCA/DGCA for regulating the use of Para-gliders, Powered hang gliders, Micro light aircrafts, hot air balloons etc under the Aircraft Act and Air transport circular for civilian use of UAV/UAS may be adhered. a) Director General of civil Aviation (DGCA), under Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) is the authority for issuing Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) /rules/ regulation regarding all Sub- Conventional Aerial platforms like RPAS (drones), Para-gliders, Para-motors, powered hang-glider, micro light aircraft, hot-air balloon etc under the Aircraft Act and Air transport Circular, for civilian use. b) CAR on Civil -drones: on 27-08-2018, DGCA has issued the Civil Aviation requirements (CAR) regarding “Requirements for operation of civil remotely piloted Aircraft System” (RPAS/drones), which is effective from 01-12-18, The CAR is available in DGCA’s website (ww.dgea.nic.in). According to Para 13 of the CAR inter alia provides that no RPAS (drone) shall be flown: i) Within a permanent or temporary prohibited; restricted and danger areas, including TRA and TSA, as notified in AIP. ii) Within 2 km from permitted of strategic locations / Vital installations notified/ declared by Ministry of Home Affairs, unless clearance obtained by MHA. ¢) A mobile -application ‘Digisky’ for the operation of RPAS (drones) by general public, is being developed by MoCA/DGCA. It will be made operational soon by MoCA/DGCA. After the ‘Digisky’ is made fully operational any person can apply to DGCA for permission to operate /fly their RPAS/ drones in a particular area. The application will be considered on- line by the concemed agencies (DGCA, central Security Agencies and State/local police) to grant permission on line on the mobile-app. For it, the coordinates of vital installations, sensitive area, etc provided by the concerned agencies (Central /State government/UTadministration, Defence forces, CAPF etc) are fed in the ‘Digisky app, to show it as one of the following three zones. Red Zone where permission cannot be given to fly RPAS/drone. Yellow Zone Where permission may or may not be given to fly RPAS/drone Green Zone where one can fly without waiting for permission on Digisky (Area left out after earmarking the Red- zone and yellow zone) Subsequently, no change will be allowed in the Red-zone only the concerned agency responsible for the security of the Yellow/green-zones will be authorized to make any change in the Yéllow/Green Zones. d) The Central / State Government administration to. declare. thei n NE” areas. Its security forces will be free to shoot aown any non conventional aerial objects including RPAS (drones), in the ‘NO DRONE ZONE! area. A WARNING NOTICE should be prominently displayed around the perimeter walls of the vital installations and sensitive areas. The state /UT police will also issue notice/circulars regarding it and give due publicity to inform the public, as and required. vv 16.B Immediate Measures. i According to the State Police under various sections of State Police Acts prohibit flying of such aerial platforms over the area bounded by a circle of 30 KM radius Centered at State Capital/Metro cities and 5\KI ji) Exemptions to the prohibition for civil flying of such aerial platforms at spacial event/occasions, aerial display, demonstration etc. in the State/UT is accorded on a case to case basis by MHA after having obtained inputs of MoD, MoCA and other relevant agencies on the subject. Details of such permission to the flying shall be conveyed to IAF and Air Defence clearance is mandatorily to be obtained by the operating Agency, as per laid down procedure. iil, if any flying object is missed by the IAF or takes off from a location which is close to Electronics city area (and therefore does not come to the notice of IAF observation posts), it will be the responsibility of Stete Police and CISF of the E-City to take action against flying object and its owner. Assistance from other forces, if deployed in location, can be taken. iv State Police under various sections of the State Police Acts can seize unauthorized aerial Platforms flying over prohibited air space of the State. ‘Vi The CISF which is already providing security / protection at Electronics City, Bangalore shall co-ordinate with the Local Police for implementation of this SOP. ove The personnel of CISF Unit, Electronics City (Bangalore) shall be trained and sensitized about the threat arising out of the sub-conventional aerial platforms from any terrorist group. ‘Wil’ The personnel of CISF shall be equipped with VHF Sets, High Beam Search light, Night Vision Binocular, Binocular, Red flag (size 3 x2) mounted on a lathi and a loud hailer. Each such suitable identified rooftop watcher should be accompanied by a well-trainedviii x police/CISF marksmen which shall be equipped with a long range weapon to bring down such flying object, as and when required. CISF personnel shall be trained by the IAF for identification of Para-glider, Para-motors, Powered-hand glider, Micro light aircraft, Hot Air Balloons, UAV/UAS/Drones etc. The training will be coordinated with Air force station Chimney Hills, Bangalore. Small flying platforms are extremely flexible and maneuverable. They can be folded into portable packages and reassembled easily. They can take -off from open areas, playgrounds, high-rise buildings and isolated roads etc. Hence, the concerned QRT of CISF deployed in the Electronics City will have to be sensitized to remain on the lookout for the presence of such a device (s) in the vicinity of sensitive areas/location. Human intelligence is the most re‘iable way to prevent such an attack. The Shift In-charge/ Control Room In-charge of CISF shalll be more observant to watch such type of sub-conventional aerial platforms through CCTV in the Electronics City oi pion epee niennelea siemens xii xiii 47. are installed in the Electronics City, Bangalore to se The DGCA has issued public notice on its website prohibiting use of UAVIUASIDrones, powered hand glider, micro light aircraft, hot air balloons in States/UTs. The DGCA will provide the list of owners of Pera-glider, Para-motors, Powered-hand gliders, Micro light, Hot Air Ballocns, UAV/UAS/Drones in State to the State police so that their verification may be carried out, a copy of this list will also be provided to IAF for information and awareness. Responsibility for engagement. The responsibility of engaging aerial threats will be with following agencies: - > > > Gonventional aerial threats which are detected by Radar including threats from hijacked aircraft ~ the IAF as per their prescribed procedure. Hostile sub-conventional aerial platforms like para-gliders, UAVs, UAS, Micro-light aircraft etc. visually sighted within Electronics City shall be engaged by CISF in coordination with IAF and local police. Look for the movement of such aerial platforms, If the aerial platform is un-manned and fiying/sustaining over the Electronics City, immediate action shall be taken io nullify the threat. If the aerial platform is manned, give them warming by signals to fly away. If Positive response is not there, an immediate action shall be taken to nullify the threat. ‘The Concerned QRT In-Charge of CISF will take the decision on the orders of the Unit Commander to as situation deems fit 18. Grid\Map: _n order to facilitate ease of reporting and subsequent understanding of the locations, a grid map of suitable scale of the Electronics City should be used. This grid based system shall also facilitate subsequent tracking of movement of the aerial object. The alpha-numeric code of the grid shall be used for reporting of visual observation, airspace clearance and engagement by all concerned. 19, Implementation pian: The following action shatl be taken after sighting sub- conventional aerial platforms: -a, Based on visual observations of unidentified small aerial platforms should be reported to the designated IAF ADDS (Operations Room) by Central Police Command Room (CPCR). In case the nominated Ops Rocm cannot be contacted due to any reasons, the reporting can aiso be intimated to Air HQ Operations Room on the Toll free Number. The State-wise designated Ops Room and their contact numbers are attached this SOP as Annexure-| b. Hostile Activity : If the aerial object / platform is seen as a likely threat and committing hostile act such as dropping bombs, firing on friendly elements on ground ete, CPGR can order immediate engagement by CISF/ ground forces and IAF Operations Room be informed of the same. c. Precaution: Based on visual observation, information or radar detection (by the IAF), it is possible that IAF armed helicopter may be in pursuit of the reported target to investigate, identify and engage the aerial object. It is therefore, important that the IAF helicopter is not engaged by CISF. The IAF on its part would inform the lIST management, CISF and state police whenever the armed helicopter is ordered for airborne engagement of threat from sub-conventional aerial platforms over E-City Area. d. In case detected by Control Room In-charge through monitoring the CCTV cameras, it shall be informed to concerned QRTs In-charge and IAF for taking further course of action. In case of detected by the CISF personnel of E-City. e. In case of detected by the CISF Personnel of E-City(B):- , the following course of action shall be taken: - CISF Duty Cfficer shall immediately inform Central Police Command Room (CPCR) through the District Control Room along with the location and direction of movement of the aerial object, to facilitate confirmation from the IAF control room whether is friendly or enemy aerial object. i. IFIAF informs it to be friendly no action needs to be taken ii. Ifitis reported to be enemy, straightaway proceed to shoot it down, taking precaution as given Sub-para 19(g) The CISF duty officer also informs E-City management, CISF higher formation and State police. f. Incase there is no time to seek information and the flying object has reached near the sensitive location (i) If the object is unmanned aerial vehicle such as RPAS(Drone), straightaway proceed to shoot it down, taking due precautions as given in sub-para 19(g).
