Statement 3, which states that Kavach is a state-of-the-art electronic system with Safety Integrity Level-4 (SIL-4), is correct. SIL-4 is the highest level of safety certification.

Kavach is an indigenous Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system developed by the Research Design and Standard Organisation (RDSO) under the Ministry of Railways, India. It was not developed in collaboration with RTRI, Japan.

Statement 2 is incorrect because the trials of Kavach were primarily facilitated by the South Central Railway (SCR), not the Southern Railway. Thus, only statement 3 is correct.
