The deal will pave the way for the induction of 14 such ships in the ICG.
"These multi-role FPVs will be indigenously designed, developed and manufactured by MDL," the MoD said in a statement.
Besides being armed with multipurpose drones and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, the FPVs will boast of other state-of-the-art features like "wirelessly controlled remote water rescue craft lifebuoy".
These FPVs will allow ICG to
