ALAPPUZHA: An unmanned warship, a system that can control it from anywhere in the world - Rishikesh, a native of Muhamma, is currently working to develop such a technology. Rishikesh, who has made several inventions, uses a land-based satellite system for this. With this system, missile launching technology, artillery and other weapons can all be coordinated in one place.

Rishikesh said the discovery was prompted by a desire to avoid soldiers dying in battle as much as possible. He was about to inform the Ministry of Defense of his new contribution to national security when he learned about the 'Dare to Dream 2.0' contest announced on the Defense Research and Development Organization's (DRDO) website. Rishikesh also participated in a
competition to present new ideas that would strengthen the defence forces. He has also won the 2015 President's Award for Rural Innovation.

With the DRDO expressing satisfaction with the prototype of the Unmanned Weapon Carrier and Controller Ship, Rishikesh is in the process of developing a working model of the technology. For this, Rs 7 lakh was spent by mortgaging the document of his house. He now needs an investor to design a model that is expected to cost Rs 20 lakh.

Rishikesh has not disclosed the technicalities of the plan for national security. The ship, with a flat surface, will have tanks, artillery, missiles and machine guns. The ship's propeller is powered by a solar panel. An officer in the control room will control the ship and equipment, including a machine gun, with the help of cameras. If someone grabs the device at sea it will explode on its own. Sensors will be installed to detect damage to the ship. The same technology can be used on land vehicles as well.
