The Indian Navy has successfully developed and deployed an indigenous software that allows unmanned surface vessels to operate autonomously at sea.<\/p>\n

The Advanced Autonomous Navigation & Control Software (A2NCS) has been jointly developed by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and the Navy\u2019s Weapons and Electrical Engineering Systems Establishment (WESEE).<\/p>\n

The software has been integrated into the Navy\u2019s Fast Interceptor Boat (FIB), which has already been used for mine countermeasure missions and combat exercises, demonstrating its operational capabilities.<\/p>\n

According to BEL, the software enables the boat to perform fully autonomous operations, even in dense maritime traffic, while maintaining safety. The A2NCS supports three modes of operation:<\/p>\n

Remote-controlled mode,<\/em> where operators control the vessel from a distance.<\/p>\n

Autonomous waypoint navigation<\/em>, where the vessel navigates independently within a designated area.<\/p>\n

Fully autonomous mode,<\/em> where the software takes full control of navigation and mission execution.<\/p>\n

The software uses a network of sensors, including radar, AIS, EO\/IR sensors, INS, and GPS, along with electronic navigation charts (ENC), to monitor its surroundings and avoid obstacles.<\/p>\n

It also includes AI-driven situational awareness, cyber resilience, and fail-safe operational features.<\/p>\n

A2NCS recently received IRClass certification from the Indian Register of Shipping, making it the first indigenously developed USV software in India to be certified for quality and reliability.<\/p>\n

The certification followed extensive sea trials that tested compliance with international collision regulations (COLREGs) and the software\u2019s safety features.<\/p>\n

The development and deployment of A2NCS strengthens India\u2019s indigenous defence capabilities and supports the \u201cAtma Nirbhar Bharat\u201d initiative.<\/p>\n
