Twenty-nine personnel were onboard the aircraft which went missing during an operation mission.
The mystery surrounding the Indian Air Force's An-32 transport aircraft, which had gone missing over the Bay of Bengal in 2016, may have been solved after debris from a crashed aircraft was detected off the Chennai coast. Twenty-nine personnel were onboard the aircraft which went missing during an operation mission.
An Autonomous Utility Vehicle (AUV), developed by the National Institute of Ocean Technology, was launched for deep-sea exploration to locate the missing aircraft at its last known location in the Bay of Bengal.
The search was carried out at a depth of 3,400 metres using a multi-beam SONAR (Sound and Navigation Ranging), synthetic aperture SONAR and high-resolution photography. The payloads identified debris from a crashed aircraft on the sea bed 310 km off the Chennai coast.
