Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 25 (PTI) After the successful preliminary trial of the indigenously developed Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) in a Kerala reservoir, the Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute is expected to carry out another round of experiment in the same lake this year.
A senior scientist in-charge of the project said the trial conducted in the Idukki Dam reservoir, one of the largest in the country, was a success.
"Another round of trials will be held in the same lake before trying it in the sea," the scientist told PTI from CMERI at Durgapur, a Research and Development Institute under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
"We chose Idukki reservoir in Kerala since it offers the required parameters for conducting the test", the scientist said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
