US plans to turn submarines into drone motherships: How India is charting its own course

This submarine will function as a launch platform for unmanned systems while improving speed and reducing maintenance time. Additionally, India is advancing its own unmanned maritime capabilities through recent innovations and systems development. Challenges include managing operational requirements in rough coastal conditions and ensuring effective communication across platforms.
