Air Force One, Beast, Nuclear football: Trump landed in India with high-tech security

US President Donald Trump landed in India on February 24 for the first time after being elected to the high-office in November 2016. India made elaborate security arrangements before Trump’s arrival but the United States took extra measures with different technologies to ensure the safety of the highest level.

Air Force One aircraft landed in Ahmedabad on Monday carrying the US President and his family. The Boeing plane has been created by the state-of-the-art amalgamation of its 747-200B commercial aircraft. It consists of hardened electronics and communications equipment for protection against any electromagnetic pulse.

The aircraft uses multi-frequency radios for air-to-air, air-to-ground as well as satellite communications and the defence system is kept classified. Air Force One is believed to have radar jammers and fire-shield to detect and deter missile and rockets. The aircraft is reportedly even capable of starting a nuclear war in the worst-case scenario.
