Accurate Industrial Controls to convert three Indian Navy patrol boats into USVs
Accurate Industrial Controls will begin converting three Indian Navy patrol craft into uncrewed surface vessels as part of a broader six-vessel program. The initial group comprises one 13-meter fast interceptor craft used for coastal reconnaissance and two 23-meter immediate support vessels, with autonomy work building on about 2,500 hours of trials of the company's ISACA system. Reusing existing hulls could accelerate experimentation and lower acquisition cost, but the conversions still require integration, testing, and naval acceptance before autonomous operations become a routine fleet capability.
