Sagar Sankalp - Jalkapi XLAUV and MPAUV Showcase: India exhibition or demonstration

Development and reported outcome

On March 6, 2026, Rekise Marine presented its autonomous subsurface portfolio to defence leadership during Sagar Sankalp, including the Jalkapi XLAUV and its man-portable AUV program. Jalkapi was identified as an Indian Navy-linked XLAUV being developed through the ADITI 1.0 / iDEX-DIO framework, while the MPAUV is associated with Goa Shipyard collaboration. The row is retained as one event-level showcase covering two distinct programs and does not represent a new procurement award, completed trial, or delivery.[S1] [S2]

Program, platform and stakeholders

Programme or contract: Sagar Sankalp - Jalkapi XLAUV and MPAUV Showcase. Platform or product: Jalkapi XLAUV and Man-Portable AUV. Platform classification: Autonomous Operated Vehicle. Recorded supplier, developer or relevant organization: Rekise Marine (reported headquarters/country: India). Recorded customer, operator or intended user: Ministry of Defence / Indian Navy leadership (reported headquarters/country: India).[S1] [S2]

Mission and technical scope

The following are classifications recorded in the source master, not additional claims of operational deployment: Mission/use-case classification: Underwater ISR / Surveillance / Mine Countermeasures / Long-Endurance Autonomous Operations.

Contract, value and shipment signals

The master does not contain a dependable disclosed contract amount, shipment quantity or delivery schedule for this development. These should not be assumed to be zero.[S1] [S2]

Source verification and interpretation limits

UXV Searcher master source-coverage note: Rekise provides the program-specific disclosure; PIB independently validates the Sagar Sankalp event. The row intentionally retains both Jalkapi and MPAUV because they were presented during the same event.

Interpretation boundary: A conference presentation or exhibition display is not, by itself, evidence of a sale, production contract or fleet entry.[S1] [S2]

UXV Searcher analysis — what the development changes

UXV Searcher interpretation — industry event / public visibility: The India UUV record for Sagar Sankalp - Jalkapi XLAUV and MPAUV Showcase is best treated as a ecosystem visibility signal. A display, award or conference appearance is evidence of visibility, not inherently of orders, production or deployment.

Traceability for buyers: The dataset associates Rekise Marine with Ministry of Defence / Indian Navy leadership for Jalkapi XLAUV and Man-Portable AUV. This supports stakeholder mapping; supply-chain tier, exclusivity and signed-customer relationships need the underlying source before firm classification.

Client-use interpretation: For intelligence users tracking Underwater ISR / Surveillance / Mine Countermeasures / Long-Endurance Autonomous…, the relevant next proof points are mine-countermeasures requirements, autonomy integration and acceptance milestones. Track named customer or programme commitments and independently confirmed commercial follow-on announcements.[S1] [S2]

Quantitative evidence, calculations and limits

Quantification limit: No sufficiently attributed contract value or physical platform count is disclosed for this record. UXV Searcher leaves these fields unavailable rather than treating non-disclosure as zero or applying an unsupported market average.

The useful output is a qualitative stage and stakeholder signal, not a numerical forecast.[S1] [S2]
