"The NSG is working on a five-year plan
to provide the best technology and training to
our commandos. NSG, presently one of the best
special forces in the world, will get a new face,"
said NSG Director General Rajan Medhekar.
The commandos will be able to retaliate more
effectively in the coming years, he told media
persons after NSG's 27th Raising Day ceremony
here Oct 16.
On the "super commandos", Medhekar
said: "After modernisation, the commandos
will be much better equipped with the latest weaponry.
Every commando will be a unit in himself".
"The Black Cat will carry global positioning
system (GPS), body wearable computers, automatic
cameras, self-care medication and so on with him.
The commander giving directions to commando on
the task would be able to see him in action,"
he said.
Medhekar said NSG is sharing training and technology
with world's best agencies from France, Israel,
Germany and other countries.
"In future, we have plans to perform this
training with (US) FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)
and the Special Forces," he added.
The NSG is now equipped with remote control improved
explosive device (RCIED) bomb jammer also.
The jammer vehicle's key was handed over to Major
Ashok Yadav, bomb squad incharge of NSG, by union
Minister of State for Home, Mullapally Ramachandran,
who was the chief guest at the function.
"The jammer is effective in the range of
up to 100 meters. By getting this, the force can
more powerfully counter terrorism," said
Medhekar.
The commandos, selected from among the best in
the Indian Army, are described as Black Cats because
of their black dress and headgear. They have played
a laudatory role whenever ordered after their
inception in 1986.
