Exercise ‘Sea Vigil-22’

The third edition of ‘Sea Vigil-22’ is all set to commence on the eastern seaboard as part of the nation-wide Coastal Defence Exercise from November 15.

About Exercise ‘Sea Vigil-22’

It was conceptualised in 2018 to validate various measures that have been instituted towards enhancing maritime security since the 26/11 Mumbai attack.
The exercise is being conducted by the Indian Navy in coordination with the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) and the Ministries entrusted with the task of maritime activities.
This exercise is a build-up towards the major Theatre Level Readiness Operational Exercise (TROPEX), which is conducted by the Indian Navy every two years.
This exercise will be undertaken along the 7,516 km coastline of the country, covering the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India.

Relevance :

Sea Vigil and TROPEX together will cover the entire spectrum of maritime security challenges.
Sea Vigil provides the opportunity at the apex level to assess the preparedness in the domain of maritime security and coastal defence.
The Sea Vigil-22 will provide a realistic assessment of strengths and weaknesses to strengthen maritime and national security further.
