  • From buying India's first aircraft carrier, the Britain built INS Vikrant, to indigenously building the largest ship in our maritime history (and paying tribute by naming it INS Vikrant), incorporating state-of-the-art automation features, the Indian Navy has come a long way. A significant amount of credit for evolution can be attributed to innovators and technologists passionate about the Navy's thought leadership in self reliance. Amongst them is Commodore (Dr). Prem Chand, Co-Founder and CEO, Securweave Research Labs, who has been a part of `Team Navy,' which led the Indian Navy's indigenous technology initiatives, and ICT innovations. He, along with his team, conceptualized the Computer Family Architecture for Naval Applications (CFAN), Console Family Architecture for Naval Applications (CONFAN), real time connectivity for operational assets, and other core technology building blocks, including military grade software to build India's first indigenous ship and submarine Combat Management Systems (CMS), the Encryption Platform and Firewall.
