Navy finalising Rs 250cr contract to salvage INS Sindhurakshak
New Delhi: The Navy is close to finalising a contract expected to cost over Rs 250 crore for salvaging submarine INS Sindhurakshak, which sank in Mumbai harbour six months ago after an explosion in its torpedo section.
The file regarding the contract for salvaging the vessel has been sent to the Defence Ministry and it is expected to be sanctioned by it very soon, Navy officials said today.
Navy's Russian-built INS Sindhurakshak submarine had sunk on August 14 last year in its harbour after an explosion in its torpedo section killing all the 18 personnel on board and its salvaging would help the Navy to complete its inquiry into the reasons behind the incident.
The foreign vendor has sought 45 days to bring his heavy instruments to the accident site and another three months for salvaging the vessel and putting it in a dry-dock, they said.
Meanwhile, a senior naval officer of the rank of Rear Admiral was summoned by his superiors in Mumbai against the backdrop of series of mishaps involving naval vessels including its frontline frigates.
After the series of incidents involving naval warships, the Commanding officer of INS Talwar has been removed from his post after his vessel was involved in a collision with a fishing trawler, injuring four persons on board and sinking the vessel.
The force was also close to finalising the contract for procuring deep sea rescue vessels, which will be useful in rescuing submariners in case of a mishap in deep sea.
India's most modern amphibious warship has been reportedly damaged after it ran aground off the coast of the port of Vishakhapatnam in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, prompting the Indian Navy to order a major probe into the incident.
INS Airavat, the latest of the Shardul class of tank-landing warships, has recently suffered damage in its propellers. It will now undergo significant repairs to its propellers and likely to be docked over the next few days to carry out a refit, the local media reports said Monday, quoting unnamed sources as saying.
India has only two such indigenous warships which were built by state-owned ship building companies. Both are currently stationed at the naval base in Vishakhapatnam.
However, the Indian Navy has refused to officially comment on the incident so far.
This is the ninth mishap involving Indian Navy's vessels in the last seven months.
In August last year, one of its submarines, INS Sindhurakshak, sank at Mumbai harbour, following multiple explosions triggered by a major fire inside the vessel, killing all 18 sailors on board.

India Opts For Russian Mi-17V-5 Helicopters After Cancelling AgustaWestland VVIP Chopper Deal
India has picked Russian Helicopters to supply 12 VVIP choppers to be used to transport high profile leaders, the Rostec state corporation said in a press release.
The Mi-17V-5 helicopter was chosen by the country’s Special Protection Group (of the 150 helicopters already delivered to India) for escorting the most important politicians in India during the election season. The announcement comes weeks after India cancelled the VVIP helicopter deal with AgustaWestland following bribery allegations. Vadim Ligai, General Director of Kazan Helicopter Plant, said the Indian Mi-17V-5s are “fairly complex helicopters. Their development process certainly wasn’t easy.”
For example, they are not equipped with analog instruments, but have displays that are all grouped together in a ‘glass cockpit.’
By the end of 2014, Radio Electronic Technologies (KRET), which is part of the Rostec state corporation, will provide Russian Helicopters with 76 sets of high-tech avionics including KNEI-8 navigation and electronic instrumentation developed by Ryazan State Instrument Plant, which is part of KRET, according to the statement.

Second test of Nirbhay cruise missile in February
Kalyan Ray, Jammu, February 4, 2014, DHNS:
A year after India’s own Tomahawk class cruise missile Nirbhay test failed, scientists are ready for the second trial by the end of this month.
“We plan to launch Nirbhay by February end. It is a Tomahawk class missile but I will not disclose the range,” Avinash Chander, scientific advisor to the Defence Minister told Deccan Herald on the sidelines of the Indian Science Congress here. The long-range all weather subsonic cruise missile is India’s answer to the US Tomahawk, which was introduced first in the 1970 but underwent several modifications later. Used by the US Navy and Royal Navy, the missile reportedly has a range between 1,300 and 1,700 km.
Nirbhay is understood to have a range of 1,000 km, though there is no official confirmation. Once ready, the Navy would be the first user of this missile. Asked the reasons for delay in the project, which is in the developmental phase for many years, Chander said, “Nirbhay is a typical model of how we should not do project R&D. Earlier it was piecemeal work, but new thrust has been provided to this project.”
The missiles maiden test in March failed as it deviated from its pre-determined path after a few minutes, threatening the east coast. Subsequently, scientists at the control room of Interim Test Range, Chandipur, had to terminate its course forcing the surface-hugging cruise missile to explode midair over Bay of Bengal.
“Scientists have identified that inertial navigation system has malfunctioned and corrective design and modifications are being implemented,” Defence Minister A K Antony informed Parliament in May.
The director-general of Defence Research and Development Organisation also confirmed the existence of India’s second nuclear-powered submarine, which is under construction at a military dockyard in Visakhapatnam for several years now. “The first submarine (Arihant) took 18 years. We hope to have the second submarine, which is under development, in 12 years,” he said.
The submarine launched ballistic missile (K-15) for Arihant is fully ready after several successful trials from underwater pontoons. When the Arihant goes for a sea trial shortly, it will carry the ballistic missile completing India’s nuclear triad or second-strike capability from the land, air and sea in case of a nuclear attack.

Indian Navy planning to equip warships with European sonar systems
NEW DELHI: Seeking to strengthen its anti- submarine warfare capabilities, Navy is planning to equip its indigenous Delhi Class and Russian-origin Talwar class warships with sonar systems developed by European firm Atlas Elektronik.
Navy officials said the firm is the lowest bidder and the Defence Ministry has to take a final decision on the inking of the deal.
"Atlas Elektronik has won the competition for the ATAS, which will equip the Delhi and Talwar class ships initially ..

Armement : pourquoi la France doit être très, très patiente en Inde
Cinq bonnes raisons pour que les industriels de la défense s’arment de patience : les élections générales en mai prochain, la lutte contre la corruption, le taux de change roupie/dollar très défavorable à l’Inde, les nouvelles règles d’achats de New Delhi qui font la part belle à la production locale et, enfin, la lenteur légendaire de l’administration indienne.
2014 sera-t-elle une nouvelle année blanche pour les industriels de l'armement français en Inde ? C'est très possible. La mise en vigueur du contrat Rafale (entre 15 et 18 milliards d'euros sur la durée de vie du programme), qui devrait être pourtant signé avant les élections générales, attendra certainement 2015 et celle du missile sol-air SRSAM (1,8 milliard d'euros pour MBDA) également. Les industriels tricolores sont également engagés dans plusieurs campagnes commerciales importantes comme la vente de sous-marins supplémentaires, de bâtiments de projection et de commandement de type Mistral (BPC), d'hélicoptères en tout genre, de matériels d'artillerie…
La France, qui a signé en 1998 un partenariat stratégique avec l'Inde, a connu ces dernières années de jolis succès commerciaux, qui ont toujours été long à se dessiner : modernisation de 51 Mirage 2000 (1,4 milliard d'euros), vente de missiles air-air Mica (980 millions), acquisition de six sous-marins Scorpène et la vente de 36 missiles anti-navire Exocet SM-39 (2,4 milliards d'euros)…
1/ Des élections législatives en mai
La 8e édition de DEFEXPO, le salon international de défense organisé tous les deux ans par New Delhi depuis 1999, ouvre ses portes ce jeudi dans un contexte particulier, à seulement trois mois des élections générales prévues en mai. Ce qui va de facto entraîner, selon les observateurs interrogés par La Tribune, un gel des décisions importantes du gouvernement indien pendant la campagne. Et après ? "Le temps que le nouveau gouvernement s'approprie les dossiers en cours, il ne faut pas s'attendre à des décisions avant 2015", explique-t-on à "La Tribune". Et encore tout dépendra du résultat des élections. "Si c'est une grande coalition qui sort des urnes, les décisions seront encore plus compliquées à prendre".
Une tendance qui semble-t-il a été confirmée par la visite la semaine dernière à Paris du conseiller à la sécurité nationale et représentant personnel du Premier ministre indien, Shiv Shankar Menon, qui a rencontré François Hollande ainsi que les ministres des Affaires étrangères, Laurent Fabius, et de la Défense, Jean-Yves Le Drian. Une visite non concluante, selon certains industriels. Ainsi, la plupart des grands patrons de l'industrie de défense française vont bel et bien déserter cette année DEFEXPO.
2/La roupie malmenée par la politique monétaire de la FED
La remontée des taux longs américains et la décision récente de la FED de réduire de 10 milliards de dollars supplémentaires ses achats mensuels d'obligations sur les marchés influent sur le taux de change des devises entre le dollar et les monnaies des pays émergents, dont la roupie indienne. La dernière semaine de janvier, la roupie indienne a chuté de 2,45 %. Ce qui renchérit d'autant le coût de ses importations, et donc de ses achats d'armement. New Delhi achète entre 60 % et 70 % de ses matériels de défense à l'étranger sur un budget d'acquisition évalué à 11,6 milliards d'euros pour l'exercice 2013-2014 clos le 31 mars. Pour autant, les autorités indiennes ont pris certaines dispositions pour assurer la stabilité des marchés financiers en dépit de la politique monétaire américaine.
Depuis son plus bas d'août 2013, la roupie indienne a partiellement regagné du terrain face au dollar américain, bien que la tendance reste à la baisse à court terme. Les turbulences monétaires, qui avaient fait chuter la roupie à un plus bas historique en août 2013, ont d'ailleurs renforcé le mécontentement contre le Premier ministre, Manmohan Singh. La roupie n'a cependant cédé que moins de 1% face au dollar au moins de janvier mais cela n'a pas empêché la banque centrale indienne de relever ses taux d'un quart de point le 28 janvier pour lutter contre l'inflation, notamment des prix des produits alimentaires.
3/ Une corruption généralisée ?
La décision récente de l'Inde d'annuler un important achat d'hélicoptères au constructeur italien AgustaWestland s'ajoute à une longue liste de contrats avortés pour des soupçons de corruption qui met en difficulté la modernisation des équipements vieillissants de l'armée indienne. New Delhi a officiellement mis fin le 1er janvier à l'achat de 12 hélicoptères de transport de personnalités pour 556 millions d'euros, une enquête en Italie ayant mis au jour des soupçons de versement de pots-de-vin à des responsables militaires.
Plusieurs contrats ont subi le même sort depuis 20 ans en raison de soupçons de corruption, comme l'affaire Bofors en 1986 ou un contrat pour l'achat de 197 hélicoptères en 2007 attribué à Eurocopter (devenu Airbus Helicopters) puis annulé. En 2009, l'Inde a banni de son marché sept groupes de défense comme Singapore Technologies, Rheinmettal Air Defence et l'israélien Military Industries, toujours pour des soupçons de corruption. Ce qui n'est pas encore le cas d'AgustaWestland. Aucune décision a été prise, selon le ministère de la Défense.
"Le principal problème est que les Indiens ont crée un système obligeant les vendeurs étrangers à payer des pots-de-vin", estime Bharat Verma, du magazine Indian Defence Review interrogé par l'AFP. Il relève ainsi qu'au moins 18 services doivent approuver tout accord d'achat militaire, créant ainsi autant de fenêtres de corruption possible et que rares sont les responsables politiques ou administratifs convaincus de corruption à avoir été condamnés.
Les très nombreuses affaires de corruption paralysent aujourd'hui certains processus d'acquisition. "Plus personne ne veut prendre de décision", explique-t-on à La Tribune. En décembre, le Parlement indien a approuvé une loi anti-corruption prévoyant la création d'un médiateur ayant le pouvoir d'enquêter sur les politiques et les fonctionnaires soupçonnés de corruption. En mai, le Premier ministre s'était engagé à ce que les achats d'armements et d'équipements militaires soient "plus transparents, lisses, efficaces et moins vulnérables aux pratiques contraires à l'éthique".
4/ Des nouvelles procédures qui vont complexifier les achats ?
New Delhi a promulgué en juin dernier de nouvelles procédures de passation des marchés de défense. Elles visent notamment à développer une industrie de défense indienne robuste, selon le ministère de la Défense indien, avec les plus hauts standards de transparence, de probité et de responsabilité publique. Clairement, New Delhi donne une impulsion à l'indigénisation des achats d'armements. "Une plus grande préférence sera maintenant accordée explicitement" aux entreprises indiennes.
Pour autant, l'Inde peine à développer ses propres programmes. Ainsi, le développement de la phase deux de l'avion de combat LCA (Light Combat Aircraft) sous l'autorité du DRDO indien (Defence Research and Development Organisation) devait être achevé…. en décembre 2008. Il le sera en décembre 2015, selon le ministère de la Défense. Tout comme le missile LR-SAM (Long range surface to air Missile) développé avec les Israéliens est aujourd'hui attendu en décembre 2015 au lieu de mai 2011.
Par ailleurs, le manque de compétences et de connaissances techniques de l'administration indienne complique aussi l'achat de matériel, estime Manoj Joshi, du think tank Observer Research Foundation basé à Delhi, interrogé par l'AFP. "Une personne chargée de l'élevage un jour va se retrouver à la Défense le lendemain. Nos fonctionnaires civils n'ont pas l'expertise des marchés et des matériels, ce qui complique la situation", relève-t-il.
5/ La légendaire lenteur de l'administration indienne
Un contrat même signé peut attendre des mois et des mois, voire des années, avant d'être mis en vigueur. C'est le cas du programme SR-SAM gagné par le missilier MBDA et signé en décembre 2011 mais pas encore mis en vigueur à ce jour. Le contrat doit être approuvé successivement par le ministère de la Défense, puis par celui des Finances et enfin par le CCS (Cabinet Committee on Security), présidé par le Premier Ministre. Le CCS réunit également les ministres indiens de la Défense, des Finances, de l'Intérieur et des Affaires étrangères. Le contrat SR-SAM est actuellement entre les mains du Bercy indien.
Airbus Helicopters, qui a répondu en 2008 à un nouvel appel d'offre pour la fourniture de 197 hélicoptères, attend désespérément depuis 2010 l'ouverture des enveloppes commerciales par New Delhi. Et Charles Edelstenne, l'ancien patron de Dassault Aviation, ne se lassait pas de raconter cette anecdote sur la lenteur de l'administration indienne. Il avait gardé en travers de la gorge un appel d'offres lancé par New Delhi pour des avions d'entraînement sur lequel l'avionneur, qui proposait ses Alpha Jet, avait négocié... pendant vingt-deux ans, avant de jeter l'éponge.

Indian Army mulls taking part in tank biathlon
An Indian Army team may take part in the Russian tank biathlon, a mechanized kind of sport invented by the Russian Military, the Centre for Analysis of World Arms Trade said on its website. A military delegation from India recently visited the Taman Motorized Rifle Division of the Western Military District, stationed in the Moscow suburb of Alabino, to inspect the venue of the biathlon and to familiarize itself with the competition and its rules, the Centre said, citing a spokesman of the Russian Western Military District. The Indian officers visited the dormitories, which are meant to accommodate the competitors, and the soldier’s canteens, the website said. The Indian armed forces are familiar with Russian tanks, as they already operate the MBT T-72 and T-90. The tank biathlon is supposed to utilize the complex training of tank crews including their rough terrain passing skills combined with the ability to provide accurate and rapid fire whilst on-route. Italian servicemen have also expressed interest in participating in the Tank biathlon. In December 2013 the venue was inspected by the troops of the 132nd Armored Ariete Brigade of the Italian Armed Forces, according to the Centre’s website.
BrahMos cruise missiles salvo-fired in India for the first time
Two missiles were fired one after the other with an interval of three seconds from board the frigate Trikand built in Kaliningrad.
NEW DELHI, February 06. /ITAR-TASS/. India's Navy has for the first time salvo-fired BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles from board the frigate Trikand built in Kaliningrad, a source close to the Indian Ministry of Defence told Itar-Tass on Thursday in the lobby of the DefExpo-2014 international exhibition of ground and naval armaments. "This is the world's first salvo-firing of supersonic cruise missiles. The salvo-firing was effected on January 30 off the coast of India's southern state of Karnataka," the source pointed out. "It's just been confirmed that everything went off successfully. Two missiles were fired one after the other with an interval of three seconds".
The source said, "The first missile with a warhead successfully hit the target and the second one – with telemetry – followed the assigned trajectory". "We can launch almost simultaneously eight missiles one after another at three-second intervals", he specified. The frigate Trikand was built for the Indian Navy at the Baltic shipyard Yantar (amber) in Kaliningrad. The ship was launched on May 25, 2011. The Teg, first of three frigates of Design 11356, built in Kaliningrad under a contract concluded with India in 2005, was turned over to the customer on April 27, 2012. The second one, the Tarkash, was received by the Indian side on November 9 of the same year, and the Tirkand in June 2013.
The ships of Design 11356 are designed to conduct combat operations in oceanic and sea areas independently and as part of naval force. The frigates are capable of effectively destroying enemy submarines, exercising anti-ship, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defence of combat ships and vessels that support combat operations of ground troops, and ensuring amphibious landing. They all are armed with BrahMos strike systems (eight missiles). BrahMos missiles have a range of up to 290 km and are capable of carrying explosive ordnance weighing up to 300 kg at a speed of 2.8 Mach. These are two-tier cruise missiles, 10 metres long and having a diameter of 70 cm.

Russia Prepared to Modify Submarines for Indian Tender
MOSCOW, February 6 (RIA Novosti) – Russian shipbuilders could adopt the design of submarines for an upcoming Indian tender to accommodate Brahmos missiles and an Indian-made air-independent propulsion system, the Rubin design bureau said Thursday. Russia is planning to offer its fourth-generation Amur-1650 boats in India’s $ prospective 11.8-billion tender for the supply of six “stealth” diesel-electric submarines. France, Germany and Spain have also said they will take part in the tender, which the Indian Defense Ministry is expected to open in the near future. “We have considered arming Amur-1650 with vertical launchers, and have made significant progress in designing these launchers for our Club-S missile systems,” said Igor Molchanov, chief designer at St. Petersburg-based Rubin. Molchanov also said it would be possible to place Brahmos missiles – developed jointly by India and Russia – on Amur subs if requested, and that doing so would not affect the overall performance of the submarine. Molchanov said Russian designers will also be able to incorporate the Indian-made air-independent propulsion system into the Amur design. He said, however, that the Russian system was more efficient and safe compared to the Indian model as it does not require supplies of hydrogen to be carried on board the submarine. “We get hydrogen from regular diesel fuel, which is cheap. They use more expensive technologies,” Molchanov said. The Amur-1650 has an armament of multirole torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, and can also effectively engage land targets with advanced cruise missiles. India is currently building six Scorpene submarines at the Mazgaon Dockyards Limited under a deal with France’s DCNS. However, the Indian side says it needs submarines “with better stealth capability, improved detection range and [improved] combat management system.” According to the Indian navy, the six new vessels must have land-attack capabilities as well as air-independent propulsion, which substantially enhances a diesel-electric submarine's capability to stay underwater without frequently surfacing to get oxygen to recharge its batteries.

India's first nuclear power submarine ready for deterrence patrols from 2015
India's first indigenous nuclear-powered attack submarine, INS Arihant, should be ready for deterrence patrols from 2015, roughly in about a year's time from now, its developers say. India's top missile scientist, Avinash Chander, said the nuclear-tipped missiles were ready for installation and their integration would begin after some of the scheduled sea trials are over. The submarine is in its home port of Visakhapatnam now but should set course for the sea within a few weeks - by March - once its reactor achieves full power in the step-by-step process. "All weapons are ready. INS Arihant is going through the steps of induction, and we are slowly raising the power to 100 per cent. After that, it will be ready to go to the sea. The process is a fairly elaborate exercise which will take several months. Once Arihant is in the sea, there has to be a trial phase of six to eight months," Chander told India Strategic magazine ahead of the DefExpo in New Delhi. Chander, who is the Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister and also the Director General of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) which is leading India's quest for nuclear weapons requirements, observed that extreme care is needed in fully activating a new submarine's reactor to establish total safety parameters. "It is the first baby we are nurturing," he said with optimistic caution. Nuclear energy is amazing on the one hand as it can generate an endless supply of power and dangerous on the other if its production is not scientifically controlled and handled. The equipment on board a submarine and the men assigned to manage and handle it have to work in total sync and sensitivity. The margin for error is zero. "So, it will be a careful, step-by-step operation and as soon as we are comfortable with the step-by-step established parameters, the submarine would set course for the sea for designated and pre-determined further trials," the distinguished scientist observed. He said he did not want to put a time-frame but would expect it to "happen in a couple of months - say March". Chander did not disclose details about INS Arihant's weapons, but it is understood that its four tubes are designed to launch 750-km range K-15 missiles and 3,500-km range K-4 missiles. Both these are nuclear tipped, capable of destroying any large city. INS Arihant will carry 12 K-15 and four K-4 missiles. There is provision to launch non-nuclear tipped Brahmos supersonic cruise missile as well as the 1,000-km Nirbhay which can be configured for both nuclear and non-nuclear warheads, and has some loitering capability. All these missiles have been tested successfully from underwater pontoons. India is reportedly looking at three or four nuclear-propelled Arihant-class submarines and a larger number - 10 or 12 - of nuclear propelled attack submarines of a larger class. The latter, designated internationally as SSN boats, move fast along with Carrier Battle Groups (CBGs) while the nuclear armed boats like the Arihant, designated as SSBN, stay in hiding for three or four months as part of deterrence strategy. SSN boats carry submarine launched cruise missiles (SLCMs) like the Brahmos, or Nirbhay. Technically, a nuclear boat can stay under water for very, very long periods but the limit to human endurance is generally put at about three months. It may be noted that conventional diesel-electric boats can stay underwater for three days to a couple of weeks only, as they have to surface periodically to draw air to recharge their batteries. The Indian Navy has some 45 vessels on order but at present, its submarine arm is very weak as the boats are old - acquired from mid-1980s - except for the nuclear-powered INS Chakra leased from Russia. INS Arihant has an 80 MW pressurised water reactor, based on Russian subs. Some of the crew trained by Russia for INS Chakra have reportedly been helping in the test procedures. Notably, the navy is looking for three aircraft carriers in the coming years, and it is imperative to have nuclear-powered boats as part of the overall strategy. The carriers, which are like floating islands, themselves need 360 degree protection up, down, around and underwater and SSN boats are a basic requirement if a country goes in for CBGs. Nuclear weapons can be launched from air, sea or land, and SSBN boats are hidden in ocean depths so that they can survive a nuclear attack by a hostile country, and then be able to take retaliatory action. India has a declared No-First-Use (NFU) nuclear doctrine, which however promises massive punitive destruction in retaliation. Submarine-launched nuclear weapons are part of this strategy. Once INS Arihant is operational in 2015, India will then complete the nuclear triad of air, surface and underwater nuclear attack capability. Nuclear weapons are under the tri-service Strategic Forces Command (SFC) and top level clearance is required from the government to launch them if ever needed.

India, Israel to Build Anti-Missile System
NEW DELHI — India and Israel will jointly build an integrated anti-missile system to be deployed against Chinese nuclear and conventional missiles.
The new program, which does not yet have a name, has been approved by the Indian Defence Ministry, with a contract expected to be signed in the next six months, according to a scientist with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) at Defexpo.
The proposed missile defense program will see participation by Rafael and Israel Aircraft Industries in partnership with DRDO and state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).
The system will integrate the homegrown Prithvi air defense system, which is ready for induction next year, with the mobile detection radar being built by BEL in partnership with IAI. In addition, DRDO and BEL will work with IAI and Rafael for this program.
“The proposed missile defense program will be a network of air defense systems and radars from India and Israel,” a Rafael executive said at Defexpo, which runs from Thursday to Sunday.
The executive added that additional missile systems, both short range and medium range, will be tailor-made for use by India.
Indian MoD sources said talks have been underway on the integrated missile defense program for over six months, but gave no details on the program’s fate.
The Rafael executive said his company has offered to build a dedicated C4I system for the program. India does not yet have a C4I system for missile defense threats, the executive added.

PIPAVAV unveils new Offshore Patrol Vessel design at DEFEXPO 2014
Five "Naval Offshore Patrol Vessels" are being designed and constructed for the Indian Navy. These vessels are capable of enhancing security of the EEZ including the security of offshore assets and out of area contingencies.
These vessels will be carrying out offshore patrolling, ocean surveillance, monitoring of sea lanes of communications, esccorting high value ships and other Fleet Support Operations.
Main Hull of the vessel is being constructed with marine grade "B" steel and indigenously developped DMR 249 steel; Superstructure will be made of alluminium alloy.
The ship is equipped with latest weapons such as AK-630M CIWS, SRGM, Kavach, ACCS, ECDIS, ARPA, DGPS, Integrated Bridge Control System and IPMS along with specified weapon control systems. NOPVs would have maximum speed of 25 knots and endurance of 6000 miles at 16 knots. The vessel is built as per IRS Naval Rules complying IMO, MARPOL & SOLAS standards, Naval MER regulations and other specified International rules.
LPD Project
Navyrecognition also learned during DEFEXPO that PIPAVAV along with its partner DCNS answered the Indian Navy RFP for an LPD. The design is a modified version of the Mistral class with pods replaced with two regulars shafts. The 28,000 tons LPD would retain the flat top of the Mistral (hence making it a defacto LHD) and would be capable to accomodate 12 helicopters. According to PIPAVAV representatives at the show, the LPD would be fitted with AK 630 and 12 short range surface to air missiles.

MOSCOW, February 6 (RIA Novosti) – Russian shipbuilders could adopt the design of submarines for an upcoming Indian tender to accommodate Brahmos missiles and an Indian-made air-independent propulsion system, the Rubin design bureau said Thursday. Russia is planning to offer its fourth-generation Amur-1650 boats in India’s $ prospective 11.8-billion tender for the supply of six “stealth” diesel-electric submarines. France, Germany and Spain have also said they will take part in the tender, which the Indian Defense Ministry is expected to open in the near future. “We have considered arming Amur-1650 with vertical launchers, and have made significant progress in designing these launchers for our Club-S missile systems,” said Igor Molchanov, chief designer at St. Petersburg-based Rubin. Molchanov also said it would be possible to place Brahmos missiles – developed jointly by India and Russia – on Amur subs if requested, and that doing so would not affect the overall performance of the submarine. Molchanov said Russian designers will also be able to incorporate the Indian-made air-independent propulsion system into the Amur design. He said, however, that the Russian system was more efficient and safe compared to the Indian model as it does not require supplies of hydrogen to be carried on board the submarine. “We get hydrogen from regular diesel fuel, which is cheap. They use more expensive technologies,” Molchanov said. The Amur-1650 has an armament of multirole torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, and can also effectively engage land targets with advanced cruise missiles. India is currently building six Scorpene submarines at the Mazgaon Dockyards Limited under a deal with France’s DCNS. However, the Indian side says it needs submarines “with better stealth capability, improved detection range and [improved] combat management system.” According to the Indian navy, the six new vessels must have land-attack capabilities as well as air-independent propulsion, which substantially enhances a diesel-electric submarine's capability to stay underwater without frequently surfacing to get oxygen to recharge its batteries http://en.ria.ru/military_news/20140206/187263742/Russia-Prepared-to-Modify-Submarines-for-Indian-Tender.html

First Indian MiG-29 Fighter Jet Lands on Vikramaditya
MOSCOW, February 7 (RIA Novosti) – An Indian MiG-29 naval jet landed on a refitted former Soviet aircraft carrier Friday, marking the first such operation since the ship was delivered by Russia to the south Asian nation earlier this year.
“An exciting event took place today – the first landing of an [Indian] MiG-29 piloted by an Indian pilot on the Vikramaditya,” Russia’s United Shipbuilding Corporation vice president Igor Ponomarev told reporters at the ongoing DEFEXPO-2014 exhibition in New Delhi.
The Vikramaditya, formerly known as the Admiral Gorshkov, was handed over to the Indian navy on November 16 at the Semvash shipbuilder and arrived at a naval base in Kanwar in the beginning of January.
The process of the ship’s official commissioning will take between three and four months, according to the Indian navy. A team of Russian specialists arrived onboard the ship and will stay in India for a year to fix any possible glitches if needed.
The Indian Navy commissioned its first squadron of MiG-29K/KUB carrier-based fighters in 2013.
The squadron, dubbed the “Black Panthers,” comprises 12 single-seat MiG-29Ks and four two-seat MiG-29KUBs, which Russia supplied under a 2004 contract with the Indian Defense Ministry.
The aircraft have until now been stationed at an airbase in Dabolim, in the state of Goa on India's west coast.
In January 2010, New Delhi and Moscow signed a deal worth $1.2 billion for the delivery of an additional 29 MiG-29Ks to the Indian navy.
The Vikramaditya is expected to carry up to 24 MiG-29K/KUB fighter jets.
India has built with Russia’s assistance a training facility for naval pilots to practice aircraft carrier operations.
The facility, known as NITKA, features a takeoff ramp and arrestor cables to enable naval aviators to practice high-precision and high-acceleration takeoffs and landings.

India looking at Awacs version of Airbus A330
Having cut its teeth on an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) version of Embraer’s EMB 145 corporate jet, India now seems to be setting its sights slightly higher. The Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS), part of the DRDO military research agency and prime contractor for the EMB 145 AEW&C programme, is currently considering development of a home-grown, high-end Awacs solution which would require a widebody airframe to accommodate all the planned mission systems.
A CABS official explained at Defexpo that the Indian Air Force issued a request for information in 2012 in order to acquire the necessary elements to be able to make a decision whether to proceed with development of a new Awacs system. Airbus Defence & Space confirms that it is looking at the A330 airframe as a response to this requirement and that discussions with the customer have already taken place regarding this solution.
The idea of using an Airbus airframe as an AEW platform is not new. Several projects have emerged over the past 15 years, such as IAI’s planned cooperation with EADS to install conformal antennae on an A320 in 2009.
Meanwhile, Embraer has recently been handing out conceptual drawings of an Awacs-capable regional aircraft from the E-Jet family (shown above), equipped with a radar similar to the one already installed on the Indian EMB 145s. The Indian Air Force already has three Beriev A-50I early warning aircraft — modified Il-76 airframes equipped with an Israeli active electronically scanned radar. According to the CABS, the EMB 145 AEW&C is currently in testing and is not expected to be operational before next year.
On paper, the figures are enough to leave any helicopter manufacturer salivating. Going by the consultations, requests for information and calls for tender currently in progress, India wants to buy at least 400 new helicopters over the coming years. A windfall for Airbus Helicopters? Maybe, but it won’t all be plain sailing.
While continuing to stock up on Russian Mi-17s without any competitive bidding process, the Indian Army is experiencing chronic problems in closing out the competitions currently under way. The Reconnaissance and Surveillance Helicopter (RSH) programme is a classic example. Launched by the Indian Army 10 years ago, this competition is now in its third version, during which bidders have had to resubmit their commercial proposals no less than five times!
On again, off again. “We’ve just extended the validity of our proposal through June,” explains Olivier Lambert, senior vice-president for sales and customer relations at Airbus Helicopters. Officially, the tender process is still ongoing, though an inquiry by India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) would appear to have brought proceedings to a halt even before the bids had been examined.
The competition pits the AS550 C3 Fennec against the Russian Ka-226 for a total procurement target of 197 machines, including 64 for the Indian Air Force (IAF). Airbus Helicopters has indicated that it would be prepared to consider local assembly. The ultimate goal is to replace the approximately 450 Cheetahs and Chetaks (locally built Lamas and Alouette IIIs) still in service in India and for which Airbus Helicopters has agreed to supply support until 2020.
Workload for local contractors. The slightly heavier Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), which is to be developed by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), recently booked an order for 187 machines in order to provide workload for local contractors. The LUH will be powered by a derivative of Turbomeca’s Ardiden 1H engine. However, the first helicopters are not expected to be operational before 2018 at the earliest.
The other near-term opportunity is the Twin-Engine Heavy Helicopter (TEHH) programme. A Request for Proposals has been issued for 14 heavy machines for the Indian Coast Guard, and this is expected to lead to field evaluation trials (FET) over the coming weeks and months. Airbus Helicopters is proposing its EC225 in competition with Sikorsky’s S-92. Both machines are being offered in conventional SAR configurations.
Naval Multi-Role Helicopter. The EC225 is also being proposed for the Naval Multi-Role Helicopter (NMRH) programme. A request for information covering the acquisition of 123 (locally produced) machines has been sent to all the leading helicopter builders with a view to equipping the Indian Navy with a machine capable of performing logistics, anti-surface, anti-submarine and assault transport missions. NH Industries is proposing the NH90-NFH, which — like the EC225 — will necessitate some additional development work to fully comply with the specifications. These include integration of Indian-built equipment (sonar, mission systems, etc).
Meanwhile, a similar programme is already under way, in the shape of the Multi-Role Helicopter (MRH) programme, though this covers “only” 16 off-the-shelf machines. The NH90 and Sikorsky S-70B had been shortlisted, but the lack of progress on this project seems to indicate that it could well be dropped in favour of the NMRH.
Finally, a call for tenders has also been issued for another Navy programme, the Naval Utility Helicopter (NUH), covering 56 machines to replace the Chetak. The Airbus Helicopters Panther is up against the AgustaWestland AW109. These helicopters will have to be equipped for light naval combat, including torpedoes. The technical bids have apparently been evaluated, and analysis of the financial proposals should start shortly. This could open the door for full-scale trials by the end of this year.
With its underwater arm severely depleted, India is preparing the ground to launch an indigenous submarine design and development plan.
In the first step, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will set up an agency in Hyderabad to test and certify the steel that will be used in making the indigenous submarine.
The underwater vessel will be made using the same DMR-249A and 249B steel – manufactured by the Steel Authority of India Ltd – that was used to make aircraft carrier Vikrant and P-28 missile corvettes.
“For underwater applications, we need extensive certification while for surface ships, if the material’s property matches with the benchmark, it could be used. The new agency will have best equipment to test the properties of naval steel,” G Malakondiah, one of the chief controllers at DRDO, told Deccan Herald.
The first industrial scale trial of submarine steel was accomplished successfully. Now, the material needs intensive testing for which the agency would be set up in two years. “The unit would be located close to Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory, he said.
A parallel effort is on to develop suitable welding technologies and consumables for submarines at Naval Material Research Laboratory, Ambernath.
After the massive accident of INS Sindhurakshak last year, Navy currently has just about 10 functional submarines, most of which are pretty old. Realising the consequences, the government has decided to upgrade four Kilo-class and two HDW-class submarines.
India has purchased six French Scorpene submarines, which are under construction at Mazgaon Dock Limited. The first one is expected in 2016, to be followed by a new submarine in every nine months.
The defence acquisition council approved a second submarine assembly line (P-75I) under which four submarines (out of six) will be built within the country (three at Mazgaon Dock and one at Hindustan Shipyard, Visakhapatnam on transfer of technology) while the remaining two will be made at the collaborator’s yard abroad.
“Tender requirements for P-75I (request for proposal) have been firmed up. It took some time as we wanted to involve four-five major shipyards and had detailed discussions with them,” said Rear Admiral LVS Babu, assistant chief of naval staff (submarine).
The two assembly lines would be the stepping stone for indigenous submarine production as engineers and technicians at the dockyards would receive training and gather experience to take up the challenge.

IAF will buy 14 Tejas squadrons, lowering costs
India’s own fighter, the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), is playing a growing role in protecting Indian airspace. On December 20, when the Tejas was cleared for operational service in the Indian Air Force (IAF), Defence Minister A K Antony declared 200 Tejas fighters would eventually enter combat service. Today, that figure quietly swelled to well above 300, with the government indicating the IAF would have at least 14 Tejas squadrons.
Each IAF combat squadron has 21 fighter aircraft; 14 squadrons add to 294 Tejas fighters. The 21 comprise 16 frontline, single-seat fighters, two twin-seat trainers and three reserve aircraft to make up losses in a war.
In a written statement tabled in the Lok Sabha on Monday, Antony’s deputy, Jitendra Singh, stated, “The MiG-21 and MiG-27 aircrafts of the IAF have already been upgraded and currently equip 14 combat squadrons. These aircraft, however, are planned for being phased out over the next few years and will be replaced by the LCA.”
So far, the IAF has committed to inducting only six Tejas squadrons — two squadrons of the current Tejas Mark I, and four squadrons of the improved Tejas Mark II. In addition, the navy plans to buy 40-50 Tejas for its future aircraft carriers.
Since the programme began in 1985, about Rs 7,000 crore have been spent on the Tejas Mark I, which obtained Initial Operational Clearance in December, allowing regular IAF pilots to fly it. By the end of this year, when it obtains Final Operational Clearance, it would have consumed a Budget of Rs 7,965 crore.
An additional Rs 2,432 crore has been allocated for the Tejas Mark II, which takes the total development cost of the IAF variant to Rs 10,397 crore.
Separately, Rs 3,650 crore were sanctioned for developing the naval Tejas, which is ongoing. That means the Aeronautical Development Agency will spend Rs 14,047 crore on the entire Tejas programme, including the IAF, naval and trainer variants.
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, which manufactures the Tejas, has quoted Rs 162 crore a fighter as its latest price. Amortising the entire development cost on the envisioned 344 fighters (IAF: 294; Navy: 50), the Tejas would cost Rs 209 crore ($33.5 million) per fighter.
In comparison, the IAF’s Mirage 2000 fighters, bought in the 1980s, are currently being upgraded for $45 million per aircraft. IAF pilots that test-fly the Tejas Mark I find it qualitatively superior to the Mirage 2000.
The heavier Sukhoi-30MKI costs more than Rs 400 crore ($65 million) each. And the Rafale, which is currently being negotiated with Dassault, is pegged at Rs 750-850 crore ($120-140 million) per fighter.
Aerospace expert and historian, Pushpindar Singh, points out that ordering more Tejas would bring down the price further, making it enormously attractive for air forces across the world that are replacing some 3,500 MiG-21, Mirage-III, early model F-16 and F-5 fighters that are completing their service lives.
“With these air forces facing severe budget pressures, the Tejas has only one rival in this market — the JF-17 Thunder, being built by China in partnership with Pakistan. They are marketing the JF-17 aggressively in every global air show, but India is completely ignoring the Tejas’ potential,” said Singh.

Pourquoi l'Inde fait patienter le Rafale sur la piste d'envol
Les avions de combat indiens risquent de voler pendant longtemps encore avec des pods de désignation israéliens accrochés sous leur fuselage : à l'occasion du salon Defexpo, un représentant de Rafael a confirmé à Air&Cosmos que la société a remporté l'an dernier avec son Litening G4 un énorme appel d'offres pour la vente de 164 pods à la force aérienne indienne (IAF), qui souhaite en équiper tous ses chasseurs-bombardiers. Une commande record ("la plus grosse jamais enregistrée en dehors du marché américian", assure-t-on chez Rafael) dont les livraisons pourraient commencer fin 2014 et qui devrait porter à environ 220 le nombre total de pods Litening en service dans l'IAF.
Celle-ci devrait équiper avec les nouveaux Litening G4 ses Jaguar, MiG-27, Su-30MKI et Mirage 2000, selon notre interlocuteur. Ces derniers bénéficiaient déjà depuis plusieurs années de la nacelle Litening, dans sa précédente configuration. Ce qui laisse en théorie peu d'espoir à Thales de placer son Damocles sur ce marché… Rafael ajoute par ailleurs "avoir eu plusieurs discussions préliminaires avec Dassault" au sujet d'une possible intégration de sa nacelle sur Rafale.
L'industriel présentait également au salon sa nacelle de reconnaissance Reccelite, qui reprend l'enveloppe externe du Litening mais substitue à certains composants (dont le laser de désignation) un capteur et une optique plus performants. Celui-ci serait en service depuis quelques années sur les Jaguar de l'IAF.
Le missilier israélien précise également que les travaux d'intégration des missiles Derby et Python 5 sur le monoréacteur de combat indien LCA Tejas devraient s'achever à la fin de cette année.
