    E The National Command Control Communication and Intelligence System (NC3I) links only Coast Guard operational centres across India's coastline. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement A is incorrect because the NMDA Centre will facilitate real-time exchange of maritime information across 15 agencies under seven Ministries, not just the Indian Navy. Statement B is incorrect because the IMAC was established post-26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, not after the 2014 Mumbai terror attacks. Statement C is correct. Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) is indeed the lead integrator for the NMDA’s software and hardware, with the project expected to be completed within three years from the contract conclusion. Statement D is incorrect because the NMDA Centre will integrate data from coastal radars, white shipping agreements, AIS transponders on merchant ships, air traffic management systems, and global shipping databases, not just coastal radars and white shipping agreements. Statement E is incorrect because the NC3I system links Navy and Coast Guard operational centres across India's coastline, not just Coast Guard operational centres.
