indigenous carrier development

Indigenous carrier development refers to a country's effort to design, build, and operate its own aircraft carriers—large naval ships capable of launching and recovering aircraft. This process involves developing advanced technology, manufacturing capabilities, and skilled personnel to create a vessel that enhances national defense and strategic autonomy. It often includes research and development, engineering, and integration of systems specific to the country's needs, allowing for greater control over military assets and reducing reliance on foreign suppliers. Essentially, it’s about a nation strengthening its maritime power by creating its own modern aircraft carriers from the ground up.
