The organisation is preparing to purchase radar systems, that can penetrate through walls, long range high precision sniper rifles, pump action shotguns, night vision drone cameras, night weapon sight, and thermal imaging sniper sight, to name a few. Special DG, law and order, Prashant Kumar said: "We are conducting a market survey for purchasing specialised weapons, equipment and accessories that could be used by the special police operation team (SPOT) of UP ATS to strengthen its fighting capabilities during special operations to counter any unforeseen emergency that may be a threat to man and material of UP."
