Feasibility cum RFI response for TDF projects

Development of Underwater Launched Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (ULAUV)

Project Description

The ULAUV is planned to meet the tactical requirements of underwater platform by supplementing them in undertaking various roles namely Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Mine Counter Measures (MCM) Deception Operations. The objective of the project is to design and develop technology to produce ULAUV and its associated support equipment to enable operations from an underwater platform.

Functional and Operational Requirements

It should be capable of detection of surface and sub surface contacts using integral sensors. Based on specific mission requirement, the ULAUV would require to pass the target information to other underwater platform using acoustic communication link. It should be capable of recording acoustic and visual data of targets for analysis. It should have homing features to home on to the distress frequency of disabled underwater platform.
