An autonomous surface vessel, built by Sagar Defence Engineering, successfully completed a 1,500-km voyage from Mumbai to Thoothukudi without human intervention
This journey, named Sagarmala Parikrama, is a significant milestone in India's maritime capabilities
The mission was supported by the Indian Navy, through its Naval Innovation and Indigenisation Organisation (NIIO), the Technology Development Acceleration Cell (TDAC), and the Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX)
This achievement aligns with global developments in autonomous maritime systems, opening doors for their use in coastal surveillance, anti-piracy, and critical sea lanes operations.
