The DRDO Naval Science & Technology Laboratory (NSTL) autonomous unmanned vehicle (AUV) is to undergo user trials with the Navy shortly. The craft is capable of extended operations from shore/ship at a depth of 100m.
This is really awesome and a much needed force multiplier for our depleted submarine arm should these AUV's come to fruition.
Imagine having dozens of these patrol the Malacca Straits, the Palk Straits and other strategic channels of water remotely and round the clock transmitting sonar data via sat-link to a central station.
One day I hope the Indian Navy would have the ability to monitor all the sea traffic in the Indian ocean in real time or pretty close, much like how the Air Force monitors Indian Air Space and the surroundings.
What happened to the MMRCA.It is already running behind time..There were a lot of news abt january deadline…Now even that is slipping away..How much time the MOD needs to calculate the L1 bidder.Is they MOD making new mathematical fomula or theory???Delays after delays will only result in loss both stretegic and cost…I am tired of this Inefficient govt…which cannot take decisions at all…..Shame on AK antony and Monmohon singh

Based on Dassault's bid for Swiss fighter competition against Saab Gripen, the price for the MMRCA bid for 126 aircraft works out to be approximately $21 Billion!!!!
Looks nice 🙂
any news about MMRCA?
Great. Keep it up.
Where the hell is mmrca. It supposed to be completed in last december and then this january and this also comes to end.
Another joke added to India's underwater capability.

I call BS. Where is the mandatory "indigenous" attached to the name?
@Anon 3:59 PM: MMRCA is supercruising at the moment evading the radars of most of the analysts, bloggers! 😀

I think in the oil and gas industies for offshore drilling/pipelyaing, the ROV's go to depths of kilometers deep
