Indian Navy Chief, Admiral Sunil Lanba inaugurated a new state-of-the-art Virtual Reality Centre on Friday (12 April). The said facility is expected to provide a major impetus to indigenous warship design capabilities of the Indian Navy.

It's situated at the Directorate of Naval Design (Surface Ship group) in New Delhi and aims to buttress the 'Make in India' initiative of the Government of India.

"This centre would provide a major boost to indigenous warship design capabilities of the Indian Navy, providing impetus to self-reliance and greater fillip to warship construction under 'Make in India' initiative of the Indian government," the Navy said in a statement, reports Firstpost.

The multi-disciplinary team has successfully developed 19 warship designs on which more than 90 platforms have been constructed till date, statement elaborated.

Addressing the gathering, Lanba said the project will facilitate collaborative design reviews for continuous interaction between designers and end-users to improve design and ergonomics on board warships.

India has been on a spree to strengthen its defences along the coasts and also across the Indian ocean. In this view, the inauguration of the aforementioned centre is a significant development.
