India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has made significant strides in submarine navigation capabilities with the recent advancement of the Next-Generation Radar Imaging and Communication System (NRICS), reportedly finalized this week. According to credible sources, the NRICS radar development is aimed at enhancing Indian Navy submarines’ navigation, situational awareness, and stealth by delivering higher-resolution imaging and resilient underwater communications. The system is designed to improve performance in challenging maritime environments and counter emerging anti-submarine threats from regional adversaries. This move aligns with India’s ongoing efforts to modernize its underwater fleet amid rising Chinese naval activity in the Indian Ocean
