PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to integrate anti-drone technology with the Peshawar Safe City system to strengthen security and improve surveillance across the provincial capital.
The initiative aims to enhance the authorities’ ability to monitor suspicious aerial activity and respond to potential security threats. By connecting anti-drone capabilities with the existing surveillance network, officials intend to improve coordination between security agencies and emergency response teams.
The Peshawar Safe City project uses modern surveillance infrastructure, including security cameras, monitoring facilities and communication systems, to support law enforcement operations. Integrating additional technology could expand its ability to identify emerging threats and provide authorities with information for timely responses.
The proposed integration comes amid growing security concerns and the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles in surveillance and conflict-related activities. Anti-drone systems can help detect, track and, where legally authorised, counter unauthorised drones that pose risks to sensitive locations or public gatherings.
The initiative is also expected to support security arrangements around important government buildings, public spaces and other sensitive installations. However, its effectiveness will depend on the technology selected, the coverage achieved and coordination among the relevant departments.
The provincial authorities have been pursuing measures to modernise policing and strengthen urban security through technology-based initiatives.
Further details about the project’s implementation schedule, technical specifications and estimated cost have not been confirmed in the available report.
The integration could represent another step towards improving Peshawar’s security infrastructure as authorities explore advanced tools to address evolving public safety challenges.
