"Exercise Malabar 2024 is scheduled to take place from October 8 to 18, beginning
with the Harbour Phase in Visakhapatnam, followed by the sea phase," the Indian Navy announced on Saturday.
The Malabar exercise, which
began in 1992 as a bilateral naval drill between the US and the Indian Navy, has evolved into a key multilateral event aimed at enhancing
interoperability, fostering mutual understanding and addressing shared maritime challenges in the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific
frigates, submarines, fighter aircraft and helicopters.
"The exercise will focus on a broad range of activities designed to enhance
cooperation and operational capabilities, including discussions on special operations, surface, air, and anti-submarine warfare through a
Subject Matter Expert Exchange (SMEE)," the Navy said.
"Complex maritime operations such as anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, and
air defense exercises will be conducted at sea, with an emphasis on improving situational awareness in the maritime domain," it said in a
statement.(Only the headline and picture of this report may have been reworked by the Business Standard staff; the rest of the content is
