Dehradun, 15 Nov: Experts appealed to the students to make new discoveries in defence systems with the help of technology at the two-day International Conference on Cyber Nation and Computation that began at Graphic Era Hill University, here, today.
Addressing the inaugural session of the conference as the Chief Guest, Dr Ajay Kumar, Director of the Equipment Research and Development Establishment of the Defence Research and Development Organisation, said that new technologies are bringing revolutionary changes in the battlefield. These techniques can be used not only in bad weather but also from five kilometres away, effectively finding the target.
He said that the challenges of air attacks are different compared to ground attacks. Electro optical system is used to deal with these. This system detects, produces, and measures radiation in the optical spectrum. In missile systems it is used for target detection and directing radars.
Vice Chancellor of Graphic Era Hill University, Dr Sanjay Jasola said that Artificial Intelligence is becoming an important part of life. AI is being used to create different types of content. In the future, students may have to compete with Artificial Intelligence. For this, students will have to learn new skills as well as bring positive and creative changes in themselves.
Dr Sudhir Khare, Scientist, Defence Research and Development Organisation, Dehradun, presented the latest developments in infrared imaging. He threw light on the fact that the infrared sensor detects heat in the dark and displays it through pictures. It is not affected by dust, smoke and light rain and can be used to see far even in darkness. He said that infrared sensors are used in defence technology for surveillance, missile guidance, search and rescue.
Dr Gupteshwar Majhi, scientist at the Centre for Development Telenetics, New Delhi, said that optical communication is used in data centres, cloud services, e-commerce, financial services and 5G and 6G networks. Its high speed, security, small and lightweight devices, low cost, high bandwidth and reliability make it even more advantageous than other communications. He said that optical communication is used in data centres, space imaging, telephone, computer networks, etc. Dr Karan Singh of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, gave tips to students on how to avoid cybercrimes.
A souvenir was released today at the international conference and 100 research papers were presented.
The international conference is being organised by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
Dean (Research and Development) Dr Prince Vimal, HOD Dr Divyaash Bordoloi, coordinators Dr Vikrant Sharma and Dr Satvik Vats, teachers and students were present at the conference.
