Indian Navy ne desh ke andar bani technology ko badhava dene ke liye **₹1,900 Crore** se zyada ke contracts sign kiye hain. Swavlamban program ke under ab startups aur MSMEs ko badi tech projects par kaam karne ka mauka milega.
Defense Sector mein nayi halchal
Indian Navy ab puri tarah 'Aatmanirbhar' banne ki raah par hai. Is baar navy ne ₹1,900 Crore se zyada ke contracts final kiye hain taaki foreign imports par nirbharta kam ho sake. Ye sab 'Swavlamban' initiative ka hissa hai, jiska main focus lab se nikal kar field tak technology pahunchana hai.
Kya hai naya technology focus?
Navy sirf chote-mote equipments nahi, balki agle zamaane ki tech par focus kar rahi hai:
- Quantum Positioning Systems (बिना GPS के लोकेशन सटीक रखने के लिए)
- High-power microwave weapons
- Extra-large autonomous underwater vehicles
- Ramjet engine technology
Ye sab future warfare ke liye bahut important hain, jahan Artificial Intelligence aur digital sensing game-changer hai.
iDEX aur Spiral Development ka khel
Navy 'Innovations for Defence Excellence' (iDEX) platform ke zariye 150 se zyada MSMEs aur startups ke saath jud chuki hai. Ab tak 4,000 se zyada proposals check ho chuke hain aur ₹3,500 Crore ki project value 'Acceptance of Necessity' (AON) stage mein hai.
Vice Admiral Ajay Kochar ne 'Spiral Development' ki baat kahi hai. Iska matlab hai ki koi bhi product ek baar mein final nahi hoga—continuous testing aur user feedback ke saath technology ko refine kiya jayega.
Investors ke liye kya hai insight?
Defense startups aur engineering firms ke liye ye ek bada revenue stream ho sakta hai. Lekin dosto, yaad rakhein ki frontier tech (jaise quantum ya underwater drones) develop karne mein execution risk bahut high hota hai. Prototype ko mass production mein badalne mein agar deri hui, toh cost badh sakti hai. Isliye, jo companies AON stage se production stage tak jaldi pahunchengi, unhi par focus rakhna samajhdaari hogi.
