NATIONAL MARITIME DOMAIN AWARENESS (NMDA)

Aug. 20, 2019

Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh visited the Information Management and Analysis Centre (IMAC) and Information Fusion Centre – Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR) located at Gurugram.

About:

  • The two centres are under the National Maritime Domain Awareness (NMDA) Project. The NMDA project was launched in accordance with the vision of PM Modi on SAGAR (Security And Growth for All in the Region).

  • The IMAC monitors movement of more than 120,000 ships a year passing through the Indian Ocean. It collects shipping information, analysing traffic patterns and sharing the inputs with the user agencies.

  • IFC-IOR is a collaborative initiative by the Indian Navy in coordination with partner nations and multi-national maritime agencies to enhance Maritime Domain Awareness and Maritime Security. The Centre is likely to host International Liaison Officers from the partner nations in the near future.
