Anantapur: Students of information Technology (third year), Gates Institute of Technology under the leadership of P. Bharath have worked on an innovative project code named “Advanced communication and navigation system”. The students using their creative thinking and skills designed a Rover named SUK-26 in memory of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who was killed in action during Mumbai attacks.

Other students who worked with Bharath included U. Bindu, K. Prajna, G. Ramesh Babu and G. Harish Kumar Reddy.

The students prepared a command control network called HKS command network. The system helps in studying the location and topography of the area. The commandos will get an idea of the location and the conditions inside the place under siege by the terrorists. The response time of the operation can be reduced to a maximum extent. This helps in saving the lives of people and policemen trapped in an alarming situation. The system developed by the students can be used even by fire-fighters using fire-filters.

Team leader Bharath told “The Hindu”, he and his colleagues were inspired to undertake designing of the engineering and surveillance technology after they studied the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and the vulnerability of people and security personnel under siege. The Research and Analysis Wing of India had warned of similar attacks by the terrorists and hence the students ventured to design the model.

Gates Institute chairman Thomas Reddy, MD G. Raghunath Reddy, correspondent V.K. Sudheer Reddy, V.K. Padmavathi, director, Dr. A. Ramesh, principal and D. Venkatesh, head of department helped the students in designing the model.
