The company’s underwater autonomous systems are also attracting attention. These include the Mine Reconnaissance Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (MRAUV), the Expendable Underwater Target (EUT), and the Mobile Target Emulator (MTE). MRAUVs, already in service with various navies, are essential for underwater mine detection and classification. The EUT serves as a target for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) crew training, while the MTE can act as a submarine decoy.

During the event, His Excellency Rudrendra Tandon, Ambassador of India to Greece, inaugurated the KSSL exhibit. General Dimitrious Choupis, Chief of the National Defense Staff of the Hellenic Republic, also visited the stand and was briefed on the products by Mr. Neelesh Tungar, CEO of KSSL.

In addition to weapon systems, KSSL is showcasing its ammunition production capabilities. Initially developed for artillery platforms, KSSL’s range now includes medium and large calibre ammunition for unmanned, marine, and small arms systems.
