The Konkan series of exercises is a part of the continuing and growing constructive engagement process between the two navies.A two-day submarine exercise between the British Royal Navy and the Indian Navy will begin off India’s west coast from Wednesday.


The Konkan 2010 is being conducted as a table-top exercise at the tactical simulator located at Maritime Warfare Centre in Mumbai.
A table-top exercise is one without actual participation of ships, but with participation of planning staff of both countries.
The aim of this exercise is to exchange operational planning concepts, maritime domain awareness procedures and to test these plans through simulations of a maritime scenario at sea.
Experiences from this exercise will be utilised to refine concepts for future Konkan series of exercises involving ships, submarines and aircraft.
The nine-member Royal Navy team is headed by Commodore James Morse, and the Indian team of 11 officers is headed by Captain M.A. Hampiholi, commanding officer INS Talwar.
