#Thread || Maritime, Airborne and Surface all round Capability Domains of Indian navy Marcos

If I went missing after deleting this thread please remember me in your prayers 

I am sure this thread will get deleted but all info and pics are strictly from public domain

1. Maritime &amp; Sub Surface Ops

It includes Combat diving, Under water demolition, Mine counter measures, Ship boarding, oil rig &amp; ops sabotage. 

For this they use multiple equipments including

Rebreathers , Dive computers &amp; compasses, Sub-surface delivery vehicles &amp; RHIBs etc

Rebreathers are Closed-circuit systems for combat diving they don't produce any bubbles since you are breathing in a close loop hence are silent &amp; stealthy w/ longer underwater endurance, low detection

ideal for ship sabotage, mine ops &amp; covert coastal insertion.

Marcos usually use 2 type of rebreathers 

1. Interspiro IS-Mix SCBAs : these rebreathers are non magnetic and stealthy to not set off any mines being diffused excellent for anti mine ops bec of its magnetic signatures and acoustic qualities

2. Interspiro OX10 CCR: this is the most common rebreathers used by the marcos (and para sf too) for combat diving

For underwater convert insertion They use diver propulsion vehicle (underwater scooter). It  extended their range, reduced fatigue, low detection during ship assault &amp; coastal ops.

They also use Dive Computer, Compass &amp; Navigation Board Full navigation system for long covert swims.

Their weapon of choice for Deep divine ops is AK 103

2. Airborne / Aerial Insertion Operations (Skydiving Domain)

It includes HAHO/HALO jumps, airborne insertion, helicopter based operations.

Equipment for these systems including halo/ haho rigs, Oxygen system, bump helmets , navigation and survival computers etc.

For parachute they use RA-1  Intruder it is a Tier-1 SF parachute built for HALO/HAHO ops and consider gold standard bec of its high glide range, precise steering, heavy combat load capacity, low opening shock

for inflight navigation they use jTRAX NAVAID: 

Allows military jumpers to conduct missions with long offsets and guide them toward their intended landing area in a reliable and precise way. Its a complete syst that provides the jumper with navigation &amp; guidance

The jTrax Navaid system includes:
• one pilot unit
• one display screen
• one support board or harness 
• one back-up compass

The pilot unit has sensors that Calculates bearing, speed, drift, distance, and glide path

Interfaces with GPS + sensors for airborne navigation

The display unit has Three types of screens 

• One used on the plane to check the progress of the flight toward the release point

• second screen used under canopy to guide the jumper towards the landing zone.

• 3rd is a Map display of the area during the flight

Backup Compass is also present for Redundancy if electronics/GPS fail Guarantees basic navigation under all conditions

For helmet they are using  Gentex ParaMaster HALO/HAHO Helmet

It's specially designed for military  parachutists performing HALO/HAHO jumps. Its modular design mission customization  and provide retention, impact, and penetration protection for maximum safety

Land &amp; Amphibious Warfare (Surface Assault Domain)

I think I have made enough threads discussing this domain of Marcos 

Here is my infographic of the equipment they carry
