"We used IR sensors in this and transmitters will be installed in civilian areas. As soon as the missile comes within the chip range. The chip will send a signal and the missile will be defused and wherever the missile falls, it will not explode," said Khushi Tripathi, a student involved in making the prototype.
Vineet Roy, the head processor of the mechanical engineering department of ITM, said the main aim was to create a system wherein if a missile is headed towards a civilian area, it can be deactivated. (ANI)
