L&T pioneers torpedo-tube AUV, Navy interested

The Indian Navy is now keenly tracking an advanced programme unveiled at the recently concluded Defexpo event: the Adamya autonomous
underwater vehicle (AUV) developed and built in-house by L&T Heavy Engineering. While the navy has a stated requirement for AUVs, the
Adamya has caught its attention for a reason.
According to L&T, “Adamya is the next step into the world of unmanned naval warfare and coastal defence. Its unique design allows it to be
launched from the torpedo tube of a submarine—a pioneering feat globally.”
L&T has highlighted several features on the Adamya to the Navy, including the fact that the vehicle’s modular design and depth-rated shells enable
mission customisation as per the Navy’s needs without having to resort to pressure-proofing of the internal electronic systems. Other qualities include
short turnaround time and ability to be air-shipped conveniently. The Adamya is being pitched for naval applications that include hydrographic survey
(the Hydrography Dept. incidentally is also looking for AUVs), mine countermeasures, intelligence-surveillance-reconnaissance (ISR), offshore
survey, clandestine monitoring, environmental monitoring and optional anti-submarine warfare. The 18.7 feet, 850 kg platform sports an endurance of
8 hours at 4 knots (with maximum forward speed of 6 knots) with a customisable depth rating of 500 metres

US Navy is testing ....something similar...here is the video

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit One (EODMU-1) test the REMUS 600, a Remote Environmental Measuring Unit that is an EOD Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) used to locate mines using autonomous guidance and advanced SONAR.



Here is another example of AUV in action
