Technology plays pivotal role in any industry and the ability to promote the technology as a continuum abreast of latest developments universally dictates the sustainability of the industry. MSMEs are no exception to this dictum and for MSMEs to keep floating in the technological domain dictates its sustainability in Warship building. Warship being a complex platform packed with a variety of weapons and sensors ought to operate in exacting conditions meeting its operational role intended. The systems mandatorily be updated as a continuum by continuous Research to develop state of art systems. Research & development ought to be in the areas right from high quality materials that are to be used in warship building to designing complex command and control systems ; technologically intensive and operationally flexible. MSMEs , the backbone of any nation, must be continuously abreast of modern technology with continuous research inputs to stay ahead in warship building programme and sustain themselves. This paper examines various aspects of Technology & Research & Development and evolve indicators for ensuring Technology & Research & Development for the MSMEs to be involved in warship building and remain sustainable.
