The International Police Expo 2026, which brought together security agencies, defense manufacturers, technology companies, and law enforcement specialists from over 25 countries, got underway on Wednesday at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
Over 300 technology related to law enforcement, homeland security, and public safety are on display during the three-day exhibition. These include India's homegrown Tyto sniper weapon and the nation's first AI-enabled anti-drone patrol vehicle.
The SSS Defense-developed Tyto sniper rifle was one of the main draws on opening day. The rifle, which was created for urban precision operations, symbolizes India's increasing emphasis on domestic defense production. The weapon system was developed wholly in India, and security professionals and international delegations flocked to see it.

The show also brought attention to the growing importance of counter-drone technologies. SSS Defence demonstrated the Varaha Counter Drone System, which uses auditory signatures rather than just radio-frequency detection to identify aerial threats.
According to officials, the device offers an extra degree of defense against changing airborne threats by detecting and locating drones by analyzing the sound produced by their propellers.
The introduction of India's first AI-enabled Anti-Drone Patrol Vehicle by Indrajaal Drone Defence was another major draw. The mobile platform reflects the increasing use of artificial intelligence in security operations by being able to identify, monitor, and react to drone invasions while in motion.There was also a lot of international participation at the event. The Garuda (SKAT 350 M) unmanned aerial vehicle, a high-altitude drone intended for use in difficult terrain and electronic warfare settings, was on display by Russian defense firm Kalashnikov. Agencies investigating cutting-edge surveillance capabilities paid close attention to the platform.
Exhibitors displayed a variety of forensic and digital intelligence technologies in addition to weapon systems and drones. These included advanced surveillance systems, cyber intelligence platforms, mobile investigation labs, AI-powered forensic analysis tools, and legal interception technologies designed to improve investigative capacities.
Security force mobility options were also highlighted. The DRDO-CRPF-developed Rakshita motorbike ambulance demonstrated attempts to enhance emergency response capabilities in challenging terrain, while AVNL showcased its most recent Light Armoured Multi-Purpose Vehicle.

The expo represents India's growing focus on domestic innovation and cutting-edge security solutions, with participation from government agencies, police organizations, and tech innovators. According to the event's organizers, cooperation, technological transfer, and conversations on the future of homeland security and law enforcement are anticipated.
