With the IAC project, India will join the select club of nations like the U.S., France, Russia and the U.K., who are capable of designing and building 40,000-tonne aircraft carriers
Built by the Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), the warship will be fitted with Long Range Surface to Air Missile (LR SAM) system with multi-function radar and Close-in Weapon System (CIWS), Vice Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral R.K. Dhowan told
The indigenous warship has a length of 260 metres and a maximum breadth of 60 metres. It would be propelled by two shafts, each coupled to two LM 2500 gas turbines developing power to attain speeds in excess of 28 knots. It would have two take off runways and a landing strip with three arrester wires. The IAC is designed with a very high degree of automation for machinery operation, navigation and survivability.
