Indian shipbuilder Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Centum Electronics, a company offering design, development, and manufacturing of customised systems/subsystems, to work on advanced naval navigation systems.
As disclosed, the agreement was signed on October 8, 2025. It is aimed at the joint research and development (R&D) of new naval navigation systems.
This partnership shall focus on leveraging and enhancing manufacturing infrastructure for components and sub-assemblies of these systems, including onboard installation, integration, setting to work and trials.
Furthermore, it will provide services for the modernization and upgrade of existing systems.
This collaboration represents an important milestone in GRSE’s continued efforts to expand its technological horizons and support the Government of India’s ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative by fostering indigenous R&D and manufacturing in advanced defence systems, it was highlighted.
Last month, GRSE delivered the second in a series of eight new anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft for the Indian Navy.
The shipbuilder is currently building 13 more warships, including two P17A advanced stealth frigates, six ASW SWC, a survey vessel (large), and four next-generation offshore patrol vessels.
