Indigenous weapons are being developed for the Indian Navy which will detect and destroy the enemy underwater. It is called Autonomous Weaponized Swarm Board or Underwater Swarm Vessel. India's indigenous company Larsen & Toubro has developed an indigenous underwater weapon “Vega” USV. Defense Secretary Girdhar Armane also reviewed the features of this indigenously developed weapon. Vega is a USV that does not require a human to sit on it.

There are two categories of these weapons. The first is remote operated underwater vehicle and the second is automatic underwater vehicle. That is, they make decisions themselves so they are also known as underwater swarm boats or underwater surface ships. This is a weapon which is fired underwater and does not require any soldier to sit in it. However, currently remote operated underwater vehicles are more commonly used. Which is controlled by the operator. This weapon is used for maritime surveillance and patrolling. Can also attack if needed.
What is the speciality?
Distance of thousands of kilometers can be covered with this drone. Besides, they can also go to a depth of thousands of meters in the sea. Which will be used by the Indian Navy. Apart from this, intelligence activities in the sea can also be detected through them. Many countries including America, China are using this technology and now India will also use this technology.
