Indian Navy Pursues Indigenous SATCOM Terminals for Warship Fleet
The procurement program aims to enhance secure, long-range maritime communication across deep-sea naval operations.
The Indian Navy has initiated a project to procure domestically manufactured satellite communication (SATCOM) terminals to upgrade communications across its surface fleet.
The deployment of these indigenous systems is designed to provide dependable, long-range connectivity for naval vessels deployed across distant maritime theaters, thousands of kilometres away from mainland infrastructure.
Technically, the terminals will enable warships to maintain secure, high-bandwidth data links, encrypted voice transmissions, and real-time video feeds during deep-sea operations, reinforcing tactical coordination between deployed units and command centers.
The acquisition initiative aligns with ongoing efforts to integrate homegrown technology across the naval sector, boosting self-reliance in specialized defense and maritime electronics.
