In a major move to bolster airspace security, an advanced anti-drone system will be installed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka.
Civil Aviation Minister Rashiduzzaman Millat announced the decision on Monday during an event, highlighting the necessity of neutralizing potential security threats posed by unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) near the country's primary international gateway.
