Indigenous Aircraft Carrier

An Indigenous Aircraft Carrier is a large naval ship built entirely by a country's own industries, designed to carry and operate aircraft like fighter jets and helicopters. It serves as a mobile airbase, enhancing a nation's military reach, power projection, and maritime security. The term “indigenous” emphasizes that the ship's design, construction, and technology are developed domestically, reflecting self-reliance and strategic independence. These carriers are complex, sophisticated vessels that involve advanced engineering, electronics, and defense systems, representing a significant capability in modern naval forces.
