In a significant advancement for India's naval capabilities, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy have completed advanced hydrodynamic performance assessments for a new frontline warship project. This project, led by the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL) in collaboration with the Navy's Warship Design Bureau, showcased high-end capabilities in hull hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and experimental model testing. These efforts established parity with leading international standards in accuracy and reliability. The successful outcomes included critical assessments of resistance, propulsion, sea keeping, and maneuverability. The project deliverables were formally handed over by Samir V Kamat, Secretary of Defence Research and Development and Chairman of DRDO, to Sanjay Sadhu, Controller of Warship Production and Acquisition. Additionally, the unveiling of Advanced Armoured Platforms, designed to meet the operational needs of the Defence Forces, highlighted the integration of a 30 mm crewless turret and advanced mobility features. The indigenous content of these platforms stands at 65%, with plans to increase it to 90% in the future.
