India unveils INS Aravali in Haryana

Chandigarh, Sep 12 (UNI) In a landmark move to fortify its maritime defenses, India is set to commission INS Aravali, the first naval base in Haryana, strategically located amidst the scenic Aravali hills in Gurugram. The inauguration will be presided over by Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, marking a significant step in enhancing India’s vigilance over the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
INS Aravali is designed to serve as a nerve center for maritime domain awareness (MDA), equipped with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics systems. These advanced technologies will enable real time tracking of every vessel in the Indian Ocean, providing precise data on their locations and movements, within seconds. The base’s sophisticated systems can swiftly identify potential threats, such as enemy ships, submarines, or suspicious activities, relaying critical information to the Navy’s command centers for rapid response.
Supported by the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) GSAT-7R satellite, INS Aravali will strengthen the Indian Navy’s communication and command infrastructure. This integration ensures seamless coordination and enhances the Navy’s ability to maintain a robust information and communication network across its operations.
