I was thinking what could made the task easy for them who were fighting inside the buildings at Mumbai. Are we at all ready for fighting inside a building which is already captured by terrorists? Our police and military officers made a mammoth task. Hats off to them.

We sometime go for various competitions here in mouthshut. Now it is time to think it in a different way. I am declaring prizes worth 500, 300 and 200 MS points for your innovative idea which could made the task easy for our officers. I am giving you an example….

The apparatus: We all saw the small toy plane which is being operated by a remote control. We need such planes and som web cam like small cameras. Both are plenty available at low cost. Such three four cameras would be fitted in wings or anywhere in the plane so that if it is gunned down and collapse, there will be chance to work of the camera if it manage to get a higher elevation than the ground. The cameras will transmit the picture which can be received by a receiver which will be ultimately connected to computers for recording the whole thing. Each camera should have its own dedicated computer as well as its own dedicated wave length to transmit the picture.

The strategy: Four such planes should be visible from four angles inside the building when the operation will start. Which will be covered by another set of 4 to 6 planes about 30m higher than these planes. These planes at higher level will cover the primary planes located 30m lower. I mean they will capture pictures of the lower set of planes as well as the whole building. If the terrorists try to gun down these planes, it will capture the firing angle which will ultimately give the direction of terrorists where they are hiding. The third and final set of 10 planes will fly another 30-40m higher than the second set of planes. Now the system will come down simultaneously. If the terrorists try to gun down any of the plane, the other plane will give their location. On the other hand, it will come closer to the ground and fly at a certain level. Now the cameras will act as eye of the system. This system can give a clear video footage what is happening inside. With the help of this video footage the control room will direct its teams to move along favorable directions. It will help the control room to find land mines also. I think there are more some innovative ideas amongst us.

So, please take your keyboard and start typing your idea to help our officers. Our mission is very simple. An innovative system, which can be helpful to fight against terrorists who already entered into a building and are in control. First prize gifts worth 500MS points, Second prize 300 MS points and third prize gift worth 200 MS points. End date for entry: 6Dec.2008 midnight.
