- A.National Autonomous Underwater Systems and Tactical Utility
- B.Naval Unified Systems, Ethernet and Tactical Utilisation
- C.Naval Undersea Surveillance and Electronic Tracking Unit
- D.Naval Upgrade Scheme for Equipment and Technology Users
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Naval Unified Systems, Ethernet and Tactical Utilisation. The NAUSETU Interface Standards will be released at Swavlamban 2026 together with the Swavlamban 5.0 Document and the Compendium on Technology Imperatives. Interface standards of this kind matter because equipment supplied by different Indian firms has to work together on the same warship, so a common standard makes indigenous systems easier to integrate and sustain. The other options are invented expansions. Option A points to autonomous underwater vehicles, option C to an undersea surveillance set-up and option D to an equipment upgrade scheme, and none of these is the expansion announced by the Navy. For the examination, remember the three documents being released at this edition and the full form of NAUSETU, since abbreviation questions of this type are common in defence current affairs sections.
