Bharat Electronics Limited, Defence PSU, would undertake the production of this decoy system. 

The prototype of this system installed onboard a nominated naval platform had successfully completed all user evaluation trials and demonstrated the features as per the Naval Staff Qualification Requirements. 

The Indian Navy said on Friday it has inducted an advanced anti-torpedo decoy system called ‘Maareech’ that is capable of being fired from all frontline ships. By diverting the torpedoes' original course, it forces it to lose its energy thus preventing it from being effective on target.

Anti - Submarine Warfare capability of the Indian Navy has received a major boost with the conclusion of a contract for Advanced Torpedo Decoy System capable of being fired from all frontline warships. 

‘Maareech’ Design & Development of this anti-torpedo decoy system has been undertaken indigenously by DRDO labs - Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL) and Naval Physical & Oceanographic Laboratory (NPOL). 

Navy said in a statement that the induction not only stands testimony to the joint resolve of the Indian Navy and DRDO towards indigenous development of Defence technology but has also given a major fillip to the government's 'Make in India' initiative and the country's resolve to become 'Atma-Nirbhar' in niche technology. 

The ATDS first detects and then confuse and divert the torpedo attacks on ships from under the water. Torpedoes are self propelled weapons with a warhead and can be used under or on the water surface. They are one of the mainstay of sea-warfare attack systems. 

Conclusion:

“Anti - Submarine warfare capability of the Indian Navy has received a major boost today with the contract for advanced torpedo decoy system Maareech capable of being fired 

from all frontline warships".
