Hon’ble Raksha Mantri, Shri Rajnath Singh today visited Naval Science & Technological Laboratory (NSTL) , DRDO and laid the foundation stone for the state-of-the-art Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT) facility.

Conceived as a strategic national asset, the LCT facility is a significant step in strengthening indigenous capabilities in hydrodynamic research, aimed at supporting the design and development of next-generation ships, submarines and underwater platforms.

The upcoming LCT facility is poised to emerge as a globally unique infrastructure with its capability to conduct both closed-loop simulations essential for submarine studies and free surface simulations critical for surface ship research within a single integrated setup

The facility once operational, will significantly enhance the country’s shipbuilding ecosystem by enabling precise validation of hydrodynamic designs and propulsion systems for major naval platforms

During the visit of Hon’ble RM , various advanced naval systems and technologies developed by NSTL were also showcased including live demonstration of swarm Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).

During the visit, Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan, Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Secretary DDR&D and Chairman DRDO Dr Samir V Kamat, FoC-in-C, East Vice Admiral Sanjay Bhalla , Dr. R. V. Haraprasad Director General ( Naval Systems and Materials), Dr.Abraham Varughese Director NSTL and senior officials from DRDO & IN were also present

This Is Not China’s War, but Beijing Started Preparing for It Years Ago.
"China has stockpiled increasingly large amounts of oil. It has pursued renewable sources of energy like solar, wind and hydropower so aggressively that its demand for refined oil, diesel and gasoline is falling. And it has harnessed technology to reduce its reliance on the foreign-sourced raw materials that go into the massive output of its factories."
