Building Indigenous Capability in the Underwater Domain

NKM Info Solutions Pvt. Ltd. was established with a focused vision — to create a Centre of Excellence in Indigenous Underwater Electronic Systems and progressively reduce dependence on imported mission-critical technologies.

Our mission is not merely to assemble systems, but to own the core technologies — from acoustic transducers and signal processing algorithms to embedded electronics and mission system integration.

What Makes Us a Centre of Excellence

A true Centre of Excellence is defined by technology depth, not product count. NKM has developed in-house capability across the complete underwater system stack

Acoustic Hardware Expertise

Indigenous design and fabrication of High Frequency transducer arrays
Capability to configure transducers for mission-specific geometries
Pressure-rated enclosures for operational deployment

Advanced Signal Processing

Real-time beamforming & acoustic imaging
Synthetic aperture processing
Image stitching and enhancement algorithms
Modular, reusable signal processing libraries

Indigenous Electronics & PCB Design

Multi-layer PCB design and fabrication capability
Embedded firmware development
EMI/EMC-conscious naval-grade design approach

Human–Machine Interface (HMI)

Intuitive, operator-centric GUI frameworks
Alarm, health monitoring & diagnostics integration
Remote and autonomous operation capability

Mission System Integration

Seamless interface with Mission Control Computers
Integration onboard unmanned surface and underwater platforms
Platform-agnostic architecture

Indigenous Development Milestone

A key technological breakthrough was achieved in July 2025, when NKM established full capability to design and fabricate High-Frequency transducers of any desired configuration.

This milestone marked a critical shift — from dependence on imported acoustic elements to complete indigenous realization of underwater sensing cores.

Ecosystem & Collaborative Model

NKM has established formal collaboration with:

Academia
Industry partners
System integrators

This ecosystem enables rapid innovation, accelerated prototyping and scalable production — placing NKM among a select group of Indian organizations capable of designing and productionizing advanced underwater electronic systems.

Strategic Impact

Through its Centre of Excellence framework, NKM contributes to:

Replacement of imported underwater systems
Strengthening of national maritime capability
Development of indigenous supply chains
Long-term lifecycle support within India
Our Commitment

We are committed to:

Sustained R&D investment
Modular, upgradeable architectures
Indigenous manufacturing capability
Support for Naval trials and long-term deployment
