Mighty India Power

On February 3rd, 2024, a historic moment unfolded in Visakhapatnam as the Indian Navy formally commissioned its first Survey Vessel (Large), INS Sandhayak . This marks a significant leap forward in the Navy's hydrographic capabilities, bolstering its ability to map the vast Indian Ocean region with greater precision and detail. More Than Just a Ship: Sandhayak is not just another vessel; it's a powerhouse of advanced technology. Displacing 3, 400 tons and stretching 110 meters long, it's equipped with cutting-edge hydrographic equipment. This includes: Data Acquisition and Processing System:  Processes and analyzes the collected data for detailed mapping. Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV):  Conducts independent underwater surveys,  reaching depths inaccessible to ships. Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV):  Provides high-resolution underwater visuals for specific areas. DGPS Long-range Positioning Systems:  Ensures accurate positioning and navigation. Digital Side-Scan
