A new generation of Man-portable Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (MP-AUVs) have been successfully developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation’s Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL), Visakhapatnam, the Defence Ministry said on Friday.

The system comprises multiple AUVs equipped with side scan sonar and underwater cameras as primary payloads for real-time detection and classification of mine-like objects, the ministry said in a statement.

The onboard deep learning based target recognition algorithms enable autonomous classification, significantly reducing operator workload and mission time. Additionally, a robust underwater acoustic communication has been integrated to facilitate inter-AUV data exchange during operations, ensuring enhanced situati
