The Maharashtra-based company makes unmanned surface vessels and aerial systems for the Navy, Coast Guard and energy sector, along with the autonomy software that runs them.
Sagar Defence Engineering, established in 2015, manufactures unmanned marine and aerial systems. The company's CEO, Captain Nikunj Parashar, transitioned from years of shipping experience to founding the business. Located in Pune and Mumbai, Maharashtra, Sagar Defence Engineering focuses on reducing the cost and complexity of long, dull, and dangerous maritime tasks.
Their products include unmanned marine surface vessels, UAVs, and Genesis autonomous navigation software. India, with its extensive coastline and significant offshore energy sector, stands to benefit greatly from the company's offerings. Sagar Defence Engineering's three-pronged product range covers unmanned marine vessels, aerial vehicles, and the autonomous navigation system.
The company's systems integrate artificial intelligence and have been tested by military and international entities. Sagar Defence Engineering aims to promote the global adoption of unmanned systems for various applications, including defense, oil and gas, inland waterways, oceanography, disaster management, and scientific research.
The company has demonstrated their technology through the Sagarmala Parikrama, a fully autonomous voyage completed in November 2024. Furthermore, Sagar Defence Engineering has formed partnerships to expand its reach, collaborating with Liquid Robotics, a Boeing subsidiary, to develop unmanned surface vessel systems for maritime security.
