Autonomous Systems: Land & Sea: Indian Register clears navy USV softwareBackground
Accurate Industrial Controls is a Marine automation specialist based in Pune, India. Its main autonomy product is ISACA, a system that combines radar and inertial navigation with remote command and control and handles collision avoidance for uncrewed craft.
The Indian Navy signed Accurate in 2022 to turn six of its patrol boats into uncrewed surface vessels, each fitted with the full ISACA suite. A 13m Fast Interceptor Craft leads the first batch, joined by two 23m Immediate Support Vessels with a 400-nautical-mile range.
Class approval from the Indian Register of Shipping gives Accurate an Independent credential rather than a vendor claim. It bears on collision avoidance only, so The Firm's software still sits beneath, not inside, any weapons or mission decisions the navy's boats make.
Its autonomy software wins class certification
On 14 September 2026 Marine Technology News reported that ISACA, Accurate's collision-avoidance software, now holds a certificate from the Indian Register of Shipping against International Maritime Organization rules. Approval came after The Firm passed five audited stages and logged 2,500 hours of trials at SEA and on rivers, using a 13m interceptor and a 5m rescue workboat.
The certificate swaps The Firm's own claims about the software for a classification society's verdict. Its scope is collision avoidance, meaning how a crewless boat gives way to other traffic; weapons and mission autonomy sit outside it. The next test is the naval programme ISACA was designed for: six patrol boats under a 2022 contract, led by one 13m interceptor and a pair of 23m support vessels.
