The ceremony further witnessed the unveiling of a project for the enhancement of the country’s Sea Shield Radar system, which integrates various radars, and the Mersad Project, which features the manufacturing of a digital component for Mark 46 lightweight anti-submarine torpedoes.

The curtain was also lifted off a storm simulation project, a project involving the building of a damage control simulator serving naval units, the Damavand Project, which oversees the designing of a passive decoy for misleading radars through passive electromagnetic defense, and the inauguration of a system used to discover enemy X band radars.
