Description
It is an anti-torpedo system with towed and expendable decoys. The system is capable of detecting, confusing, diverting and decoying the incoming torpedoes. The decoy helps in exhausting the energy of the torpedo by running the latter through long and ineffective course and prevents them from homing in to the targeted platform with its advanced countermeasures capabilities.[5][6][7]
Mareech systems is being deployed on all current and future frontline warships of Indian Navy ships.[1][8][9][10]
The underwater arrays for Maareech are being manufactured by KELTRON Controls at Aroor while the system is being integrated by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).[11][12]
