India 29/07/2024Soumya Smruti SahooBy Soumya Smruti Sahoo2 Mins Read

Indian Army’s Armored Might: Navigational Precision

The Indian Army is set to receive a significant upgrade in its armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) with the acquisition of the Advanced Land Navigation System Mk-II (ALNS). This state-of-the-art system, compatible with both global navigation systems (GPS, GLONASS) and India’s own regional and satellite-based navigation systems (IRNSS, NavIC), promises unprecedented accuracy. Notably, the ALNS Mk-II boasts anti-spoofing measures and robust encryption to ensure reliable navigation in challenging environments.

This indigenously designed and manufactured system from Bharat Electronics Limited is a testament to India’s growing prowess in defense technology. The ALNS Mk-II is expected to significantly enhance the operational capabilities of the Army’s armored units by seamlessly integrating with defense series maps for pinpoint navigation.


Coast Guard Vigilance: Interceptor Boats for Coastal Security

In a move to fortify India’s coastal security, the Defence Acquisition Council has also greenlit the procurement of 22 interceptor boats for the Coast Guard. These high-speed vessels, equipped with cutting-edge technology, are designed for rapid interception and maneuverability in shallow waters – a critical requirement for safeguarding India’s extensive coastline.

The interceptor boats will play a pivotal role in a range of maritime operations, including coastal surveillance, patrolling, search and rescue missions, and medical evacuations. Their deployment is expected to significantly augment the Coast Guard’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to maritime threats and emergencies.
