The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) today opened a new facility that will test and evaluate sonar systems to be installed on warships, submarines and helicopters of the Navy.
Sonars are used to trace underwater submarines of the enemy.

Called the ‘Submersible Platform for Acoustic Characterisation and Evaluation’, it has been set up by the DRDO’s Naval Physical & Oceanographic Laboratory.
