SIMBEX:
Why in News? The annual Singapore India Maritime Bilateral Exercise SIMBEX-2019 held recently.
What is it?
- Singapore India Maritime Bilateral Exercise is a naval exercise between two navies in the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal.
- It is an unprecedented level of interoperability, where ships, submarines and aircraft of India and Singapore will participate in multi-dimensional exercises at sea with perhaps very high degree of complexity.
- Since its inception in 1993, SIMBEX has grown in tactical and operational complexity.
