Indian submarines to be more lethal and silent, thanks to DRDO’s new innovation
DRDO has achieved an necessary milestone within the improvement of AIP System by proving the land based mostly prototype on Monday. The plant was operated in endurance mode and max energy mode as per the person necessities. The system is being developed by Naval Materials Research Laboratory (NMRL) of DRDO.
Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) has a power multiplier impact on lethality of a diesel electrical submarine because it enhances the submerged endurance of the boat, a number of folds. Fuel cell-based AIP has deserves in efficiency in contrast to different applied sciences.
While there are several types of AIP methods being pursued internationally, gas cell based mostly AIP of NMRL is exclusive because the hydrogen is generated onboard.
The expertise has been efficiently developed with the help of trade companions L&T and Thermax. It has now reached the stage of maturity for fitment into goal vessels.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO, Indian Navy and Industry for the achievement.
Secretary DDR&D & Chairman DRDO, G Satheesh Reddy appreciated the efforts of DRDO, Indian Navy and Industry groups concerned within the profitable improvement. He known as upon DRDO fraternity to provide you with more such superior technological achievements by placing extraordinary efforts.
