The Indian Navy has decided to induct an indigenously developed Advanced Torpedo Decoy System Mareech and has closed a contract for the same.

The Advanced Torpedo Decoy System Maareech is capable of being fired from all frontline warships thus boosting the anti-submarine warfare capabilities of the Indian Navy.

A torpedo detection and countermeasure system to detect and divert any incoming torpedoes (sub-sea missiles).

The Defence Research and Development Organization took charge of the design and development of the anti-torpedo decoy system. The production of the system would be done by Bharat Electronics Limited, a Defence public sector undertaking. The prototype of this system had completed all user evaluation trials successfully. In addition to that, it demonstrated the features.
