The Police of the province of Córdoba will incorporate a new unit specialized in drone operation for prevention, control, and operational support tasks. The division, called SVANT (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System), aims to strengthen the force's response capacity to crimes, emergencies, and mass events, using state-of-the-art technology.
The initiative is driven by the Ministry of Security of the Province, which recently opened a public tender to acquire 15 short, medium, and long-range drones, with an investment exceeding 7.8 billion pesos. It is a measure that seeks to integrate advanced technological tools into security strategies.
Diverse applications and advanced technology
The future SVANT Division will play a key role in activities such as preventive patrolling, search and rescue of people, monitoring of mass events, judicial raids, and anti-terrorist operations. Additionally, it will be able to intervene in emergency situations or surveillance in critical areas, with the aim of preventing crimes and assisting in investigations.
Meanwhile, the new system will also feature an anti-drone system, designed to neutralize unauthorized aircraft. This mechanism will be especially useful to prevent, for example, the entry of prohibited items into penitentiary establishments.
