Underwater Welding Electrode

Source

Source summary

Develop an underwater welding electrode so complete structural repairs below the waterline of ships and submarines can be performed without docking. The source distinguishes this from current temporary cold repairs or doublers and frames reduced vessel unavailability as the intended outcome; material, welding-process and qualification requirements are not provided.

Electric Vehicles – Innovations in indigenous Electric Vehicle and EV component technology

Develop indigenous electric vehicles and components that improve efficiency and cost against existing products. The challenge particularly discusses power devices, battery cells and batteries as routes to greater vehicle capacity and lower production costs; its adoption forecast is historical context, not a current demand finding.

Proximity Warning System for Mobile Vehicle

Develop a vehicle proximity-warning system using an IWR6843 radar or equivalent, with a 40-metre detection range and classification of vehicles, pedestrians and obstacles. The source specifies VEGA/SHAKTI-based machine learning, up to 24 hours of SD-card storage and CAN transmission. Outdoor operation, vibration resistance, low power and latency below 100 ms are requested constraints, not verified capabilities.
