WASS clarified that the Blackshark torpedo has been selected by the Ministry of Defence for the Scorpene submarine after rigorous selection process. All the negotiations have been completed and WASS is waiting to be called for final signatures. Any news to the contrary can only be attributed to its competitors, to derail the process and rob Indian Navy in getting the best and most advanced HWT in the world.

During this period WASS has established long-term relationships with Indian industry, both private and public. It has entered into number agreements to manufacture critical parts of WASS products not only for Indian contracts but also for its international business.
