Spry Technocon Private Limited, an Indian deep-tech Startup focused on maritime and underwater technologies, today announced a strategic partnership with Teledyne Marine, Klein Marine Systems, and VideoRay, an AV company to jointly address emerging opportunities in advanced Unmanned Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Systems for the Indian Navy.
The collaboration brings together world-leading capabilities in underwater sensing, imaging and remotely operated systems with indigenous engineering, integration, and life-cycle support capabilities in India. The partnership aims to offer a comprehensive and modular Unmanned MCM Suite, supporting the Indian Navy’s future Mine Countermeasure Vessel (MCMV) and autonomous mine warfare requirements.
The proposed solution will integrate advanced technologies including:
- Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and Mine detection, classification and identification capabilities from Teledyne Marine.
- High-resolution side-scan sonar and seabed mapping systems from Klein Marine Systems;
- Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Expeditionary Mine Counter Measures capabilities from VideoRay, an AV company.
- Mission planning, data processing and operator support systems;
- System integration, testing, indigenous manufacturing and through-life support capabilities led by Spry Technocon in India.
The strategic partnership is aligned with the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives and seeks to establish a sustainable ecosystem for next-generation mine warfare technologies in the country.
Vivek Bansal, CEO, Spry Technocon Private Limited, said:
“The underwater battlespace is evolving rapidly towards unmanned and autonomous operations. Through this partnership with Teledyne Marine, Klein Marine Systems and VideoRay, we are bringing together globally proven technologies and indigenous capabilities to support the Indian Navy’s requirements for advanced mine countermeasure systems.
