DRDO Develops New Generation Man-Portable Underwater Vehicles

DRDO was established on January 1, 1958.

New Delhi:

The Defence Research and Development Organisation has successfully developed a new generation of man-portable autonomous underwater vehicles (MP-AUVs).

This information was released by the defence ministry on Friday.

The system features multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that are equipped with side scan sonar and underwater cameras as primary payloads for real-time detection of mine-like objects.

According to the ministry, the onboard deep learning based target recognition algorithms enable autonomous classification, which significantly reduces operator workload and mission time.

The MP-AUVs have been developed by the DRDO's Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL) located in Visakhapatnam.
