The said AUV is lightweight and man-portable one that GRSE developed in collaboration with Aerospace Engineering Private Ltd. (AEPL) as an industry partner.
It has been designed to operate in a totally autonomous manner and its modular design enables it to carry out a variety of roles depending on the payload.
The AUV can be used for mine detection, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) training, underwater inspection, search and rescue missions or scientific exploration, the company said.
This is GRSE's first move towards the development of AUVs and it is planning to unveil its ship-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned surface vessel (ASV) by the end of the year.
