Sagar Defence Engineering

Sagar Defence Engineering manufactures unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and unmanned systems for maritime defense, security, and civilian applications. The company develops the SDE USV and Smart Kat USV platforms, equipped with the Genesis Control System supporting autonomous navigation, semi-autonomous navigation, autonomous collision avoidance, and dual manned operation. These vehicles serve applications including hydrographic survey, maritime security and surveillance, remote sensing, construction support, acoustic systems deployment, and met-ocean data collection. The USVs feature optical sensors for situational awareness, AIS receivers for shipping traffic identification, and mounted or towed hydrophones for acoustic monitoring. The company also offers existing craft conversion services, transforming traditional vessels into autonomous or unmanned surface vehicles using proven control systems. SDE SHIELD provides 360-degree defense capabilities, and the platform supports swarm operations with aluminum hulls for durability and easy field repairs. The vehicles connect subsea data to satellites, creating an ocean network for real-time maritime intelligence. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Pune, India, the company has raised approximately $48.2 million in Series B funding from investors including ONGC, IDBI Capital, iDEX, IIMA Ventures, and the Maharashtra State Innovation Society.
