Swavlamban: 5 Points On Navy's Seminar Showcasing Indigenous Tech
The Indian Navy will hold a seminar at Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan on October 4 and 5 where a range of India-made technologies will be displayed. Officials from more than 50 countries are expected to attend the Swavlamban seminar.

- Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle: According to the Navy, this tethered underwater vehicle will offer six degrees of freedom and a robotic arm for a variety of tasks. The ROV will make hull inspection a breeze.
- Underwater vision system: The artificial intelligence (AI) based cutting-edge camera harness for camera under the sea surface will ensure crystal-clear pictures, said the Navy.
- These will be part of 75 home-grown technologies, like underwater swarm drones, autonomous weaponised boat swarms and fire-fighting systems that will be displayed at the seminar.
- This is the second edition of the annual seminar. Its purpose is to engage the Indian industry and academia towards achieving self-reliance in the defence sector. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to attend 'Swavlamban'.
- The Navy is encouraging development of new products under the 'Sprint' initiative that was launched at the Naval Innovation and Indignation Organisation (NIIO) Seminar in July last year.
