GRSE Launched Indian Navy's Third Mk IV Landing Craft Utility (LCU) Vessel


The third ship of the Landing Craft Utility (LCU) Mk IV project, Yard 2094, for the Indian Navy was launched at an impressive ceremony at Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd (GRSE), Kolkata, in the presence of Vice Admiral Sunil Lanba, Vice Chief of the Naval Staff and Smt. Reena Lanba.


LCU L53 is the third vessel in the series of eight Landing Craft Utility Ships being built by GRSE for the Indian Navy. Picture: GRSE

GRSE had signed the contract for design and building of eight LCU ships from Indian Navy on September 2011. The remarkable feature of these LCU Mark-IV ships are that these have been developed in-house by GRSE as per requirements specified by Indian Navy.

The ships are designed for multipurpose amphibious operations that are jointly carried out by Indian Navy and Indian Army for ensuring maritime security of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, and Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea.


The Mk IV LCUs will play significant role in transportation of Main Battle Tanks, Armoured Vehicles and Troops of the Indian Army during amphibious operations. Picture: Indian Navy

The ships are designed to transport by sea and beach at far away islands, to deploy army tanks and troops. The ship is 63 metres long, 11 metres wide and displaces around 830 Tons.

With a maximum speed of 15 knots and an endurance of more than 1500 nautical miles, the ship is driven by twin-propeller fixed-pitch propulsion system powered by two marine diesel engines each developing 1840 KWs.

The ship can accommodate 216 personnel including 160 army troops. The bow ramp on the ship enables loading and unloading of combat equipment and vehicles on beaching. Ballast arrangement further ensures desired trim for smooth beaching operations.

Two 30mm CRN-91 mounted guns will provide artillery fire support during landing operations.

The launching marks completion of main hull of the ship, which will now be fitted out with essential equipment and systems before sea-trials and commissioning, which is expected before end of year.

Russian MiG-29s and Ka-31s to be stationed aboard INS Vikrant

21/01/2015 RIA Novosti

The newest air wing of the Indian aircraft carrier Vikrant will be composed of the Russian MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB, as well as Ka-31 helicopters, RIA Novosti learned on Wednesday from a senior official at FSMTC (Federal Service for Military and Technical Co-Operation) of Russia.

The aircraft carrier Vikrant is currently in the final stages of construction in India.

“The Russian side is actually providing much needed technical assistance to its Indian partners in the creation and development of their national aircraft carrier, the Vikrant. On board they expect to place the aircraft MiG-29 and Ka-31,” said the spokesperson.

According to him, Russia is also supplying all necessary aviation and technical equipment needed by this ship, and Russian experts are involved in the development and adjustment of the technical documentation for individual systems.

“In addition, currently, based on requests received from the Indian side, Russia is preparing proposals for the supply of a number of additional systems and equipment,” said the representative of the federal service.

In 2013, Russia sold India the modernized aircraft carrier Vikramaditya (formerly the “Admiral Gorshkov”), on which the MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB and helicopters Ka-28 and Ka-31 are based.

U.S. to Aid India in Building Aircraft Carriers

Tucked away in a new defense deal with India was an agreement for the U.S. to aid India in fielding aircraft carriers that China views as a threat.

As part of a Defense Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI) signed by President Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, the U.S. agreed to “form a working group to explore aircraft carrier technology sharing and design.”

Under the agreement, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that “we will begin to realize the enormous potential of the U.S.-India defense industrial partnership. We have further strengthened this partnership with an agreement that will allow us to continue science and technology collaboration for the next 15 years.”

India launched its first domestically-built carrier in 2013 – the 40,000 ton, conventionally-powered Vikrant – which is still undergoing development at the Cochin shipyard in southern India.

At the time of the Vikrant’s launch, China denied that there was an “arms race” with India but the Communist party newspaper Global Times noted that “the earlier China establishes its own aircraft carrier capabilities, the earlier it will gain the strategic initiative. Even India has moved ahead of us.”

China’s first and only aircraft carrier, the rebuilt and problem-plagued Liaoning, was originally the Russian navy’s Varyag. The ship’s ownership was transferred to Ukraine and then bought by China. China reportedly has long-range plans to build three nuclear carriers.

In a commentary, the Chinese news agency Xinhua scoffed at the deal between the U.S. and India to strengthen India’s defense-industrial base and aid in carrier development and operations.

“For one thing, Obama’s ‘Pivot to Asia’ policy has been distracted or even derailed by the undying conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine,” the commentary said. “He (Obama) needs this trip to tell the Capitol Hill and his supporters that his administration can make progress on important relations. More frankly, he needs India to side with him.”

The Times of India reported that the U.S. has agreed to aid India in developing electro-magnetic launch systems for the Vikrant’s aircraft.

India was also planning to construct a much larger carrier of 65,000 tons to be called the Vishal, which could be nuclear powered, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

US helping India keep tabs on Chinese submarines in Indian Ocean


The United States is regularly updating India on Chinese submarine deployments in the Indian Ocean. Last month, a US drone picked up a Chinese nuclear-powered attack submarine on the surface off Yemen. The information was relayed to the security establishment in New Delhi's South Block. China's deployment of submarines-three in the past year-in the Indian Ocean have worried Indian planners.

This intelligence cooperation with the US assumes significance in the light of the first-ever US-India joint strategic vision for the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean region unveiled in New Delhi by President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Modi, on January 25. China was not mentioned, but the vision document alluded to it by affirming 'the importance of safeguarding maritime security and ensuring freedom of navigation and over flight throughout the region, especially in the South China Sea.'

Indian intelligence officials say they are keen on intelligence relating to terrorism emanating from Pakistan on its western borders and Chinese military activities.



Defence officials in New Delhi said that the Type 091 Han-class was 'running on the surface' accompanied by an escort which appeared to be a replenishment ship. The elderly 1970s vintage Han class attack submarine, is believed to be part of the 19th anti piracy task force that has been in the Gulf of Aden since December 10. This is the third such deployment of a submarine by the PLAN since 2013. Earlier, the docking of a Song-class submarine in Colombo in September and November last year created ripples in New Delhi. The PLAN terms these submarine deployments as routine and part of its anti-piracy patrols, an assertion that naval planners take with a pinch of salt.

Jayadeva Ranade, former joint secretary R&AW expects intelligence on China, particularly naval intelligence, as one area where both India and the US could gainfully cooperate. "The information supplied regarding the Chinese submarine in Colombo and later in the Indian Ocean are examples. I'm sure there is more that has been shared by the US about the route taken by the submarine, capabilities displayed, but I am not too sure whether the exchange of intelligence regarding our land borders with China has increased," he says.

India to buy 22 attack, 15 heavy-lift copters

Mumbai, January 28:

As part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plan to bolster the nation’s military posture, India is to acquire 22 Boeing AH-64E Apache attack helicopters and 15 CH-47F Chinook heavy lift helicopters for the Indian Air Force (IAF), valued at $2.5 billion.

Approval stage

Officials in the know said the attack helicopter (Apache) and the heavy lift helicopter (Chinook) are currently in the Government approval stage.

“The Ministry of Finance and Cabinet Committee on Security needs to approve...before contracts are signed. All other steps are done,” officials said.

Sources pointed out that India’s defence acquisition process mandates that all contracts that are in excess of $50 million require 30% offsets. Way back in 2013, Boeing had signed a memorandum of understanding with Dynamatic Technologies of Bangalore, to manufacture the aft pylon and cargo ramp assemblies for the Chinook. Sources indicated that Boeing had done this in anticipation of the IAF order. When contacted, Boeing said it was deferring all questions on the Apache procurement to India’s Ministry of Defence for comment.

Offsets galore

“Defence spending eligible for offsets through 2017 are huge. Based on the current order pipeline, big procurement programmes ensure that offset obligations could become an opportunity worth $10-$20 billion for the domestic industry,” said sources.

Another official pointed out that offsets are expected to spur growth, as well as aid the basic intent of the offset policy, which is to build a domestic defence manufacturing base.

Force projection

“Multinational original equipment manufacturers with Indian defence contracts can discharge their offset obligations by sourcing military grade components from India,” the official added.

Boeing’s Apache is the most capable multi-role combat helicopter, “combining performance and lethality with more affordable and efficient maintenance.

“It will provide the Indian Air Force with enhanced dominant force projection capabilities, and will address the full spectrum of conflict to peace keeping and nation building.”

Newest member

India has been offered the AH-64E, the newest member of the combat proven Apache family, and is to get the latest upgraded version of the helicopter, which has been delivered only to the US Army. In the case of Boeing’s Chinook helicopter, “the tandem rotor H-47 Chinook is the most capable, advanced heavy lift helicopter, providing maximum value at the lowest risk.

The H-47 Chinook offers India heavy lift and high altitude transportation for a multitude of military, humanitarian, rescue, disaster relief, fire fighting and nation building missions in all climates and conditions and altitudes.”

Flight trials

The Chinook and an advanced version of the Mi-26 helicopter were put to flight trials in 2011, in desert and high altitude terrain. Boeing’s Chinook had beaten out Russia’s Mi-26, when the Indian Defence Ministry had opened bids in November 2012, said sources, adding that the Russian bid was set aside after officials failed to provide details on how they would execute their offset liabilities.

Boeing is deferring questions on the contract to India’s Ministry of Defence.

India asks Japan to offer Soryu subs for Project 75I requirement

Citation :

India has invited Japan to compete in the Indian Navy's (IN's) long-delayed INR500 billion (USD8.1 billion) Project 75I (India) requirement for six diesel-electric submarines with land attack and air independent propulsion (AIP) capabilities.
Official sources said India had recently forwarded a proposal to Tokyo asking it to consider participating in the Project 75I tender with its 4,200-tonne Soryu-class submarine.
The Soryu class is currently under evaluation by the Royal Australian Navy as a replacement for its six Collins-class boats.
India's offer to Japan to join Project 75I is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's effort at forging closer strategic and defence ties with Tokyo and formulating a wider maritime quadrilateral grouping that would include Australia and the United States.
India is also in advanced negotiations with Japan to acquire 12 ShinMaywa US-2i amphibious search-and-rescue aircraft for around USD1.65 billion, a deal that is likely to be concluded in early 2016.
The Project 75I tender, delayed by nearly seven years, was approved by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in October 2014 and is likely to be dispatched later this year. It is aimed at boosting the IN's underwater assets, which at 11 submarines is 13 fewer than their sanctioned strength.
Project 75I envisages licence-building a submarine shortlisted from multiple contenders, including DCNS (France), TKMS subsidiary HDW (Germany), Navantia (Spain) and Rosonboronexport (Russia), under a joint venture (JV) with an Indian shipyard.
A committee headed by Vice Admiral A V Subedar recently completed an audit of seven domestic shipyards - five of them state-owned and two private - to evaluate their submarine-building capability. Officials said it would submit its report to the MoD in February, after which the selected shipyards, along with IN-approved overseas submarine manufacturers, would be invited for trials around 2016 and a platform shortlisted by 2018.
Price negotiations would follow, and IN officials anticipate the first Project 75I submarine being commissioned around 2025-27.
Meanwhile, the MoD has for the third time postponed the deadline for local vendors to respond to its requests for information (RfI) to indigenously build more than 140 twin-engine naval utility helicopters (NUH).
Industry sources said the RfI response date, for nine potential local bidders, was deferred to 28 February - from the earlier deadlines of 24 November 2014 and 24 January - as many had been unable to conclude JVs with foreign original equipment manufacturers.

ANALYSIS

India is keen for Japan to participate in its domestic materiel manufacturing programmes as it is seeking technology to boost its defence industrial base.
It is also keen to propagate its bilateral strategic partnership with Japan to counter China's growing military assertiveness in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
Both countries have unresolved territorial disputes with China that erupt periodically. The United States has also been advocating increased defence co-operation between India and Japan and Australia, which shares their collective concerns regarding China.
A 'Joint Strategic Vision for the Asia-Pacific and IOR' issued jointly by India and the United States during President Barack Obama's recent visit to Delhi further progressed this putative quadrilateral. Defence-industrial partnerships of the kind proposed by India will further cement this strategic partnership.

L'Inde teste un missile à capacité nucléaire Agni-V


Le missile Agni-V a une portée de plus de 2.000 km et est capable de porter une charge nucléaire.

L'armée indienne a testé avec succès un missile balistique à capacité nucléaire Agni-V, d'une portée de plus de 2.000 km, rapporte samedi le quotidien Hindustan Times.

Selon le journal, le missile de type sol-sol a été tirée depuis une rampe mobile située sur le polygone de l'île de Wheeler, dans le golfe du Bengale, au large de l'Etat indien d'Orissa. Le tir a eu lieu à 8h06 heure locale.

La conception du missile en question a débuté en 1983. Conçu pour emporter une ogive nucléaire de 1,5 tonne, Agni-V est un missile de trois étages de 17 mètres de long pesant près de 50 tonnes.

Les forces armées indiennes ont à l'heure actuelle à leur disposition des vecteurs terrestres (missiles de type Agni et Prithvi) et aériens (avions Dassault Mirage-2000 et SEPECAT Jaguar). New Delhi compte en outre acquérir la troisième composante de la triade nucléaire – posséder des sous-marins lanceurs d'engins.

Premier vol pour le second prototype du Tejas navalisé


Publié le 12/02/2015 à 12h45, par Antony Angrand


Le second prototype de la version navalisée du chasseur léger Tejas, ou NP2, vient d'effectuer son premier vol, équipé d'une crosse d'appontage.

Le capitaine Shivnath Dahiya, un pilote d'essais expérimenté issu de la marine indienne et du centre d'essais en vol indien, a volé pendant environ trente-cinq minutes aux commandes du NP2. T.  Suvarna Raju, pdg de HAL, a déclaré de son côté que les efforts dédiés des ingénieurs et techniciens de l'ARDC (centre de recherches et de conception aéronautique indien) relatifs au train d'atterrissage, qui diffère fortement de la version armée de l'air du chasseur, ont rendu ce vol possible.

Le NP2 a également permis de solutionner plusieurs déficiences précédemment observées sur le NP1. L'appareil incorpore notamment la plupart des équipements d'avionique destinés à la marine indienne. Au cours de sa conception et fabrication, le NP2 a été modifié de manière à recevoir des aides à l'appontage tels que le calculateur Levcon ou encore l'automanette des gaz, en dehors du système de liaisons de données tactiques et l'intégration du missile Derby.

India must seal $2 billion US chopper deals soon to avoid price hike


India will have to fast-track the long-pending approvals for 22 Apache attack and 15 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters if it does not want a major cost escalation in the two deals currently worth around $2.5 billion.

US aviation major Boeing on Friday obliquely warned of a price hike if India did not close the two deals for its two iconic helicopters soon. "We are awaiting the Indian government's decision. We have extended the validity of our commercial bids when asked (in the past).

But there is a point beyond which we cannot (hold the price line) due to inflationary pressures," Boeing India chief Pratyush Kumar said.

At Aero India 2015, Saab plans to display an array of products across the land, air, naval and civil domains to stake its claim as a reliable defence partner.

Swedish aerospace and defence major Saab Group is hopeful to make the most of this year’s edition of the biennial Aero India.

According to Saab India Country Head Lars-Olof Lindgren, “Aero India 2015 is a huge platform for Saab and marks Saab’s fifth presence at the show. At this year’s event, we look forward to connecting with Indian defence forces, homeland security forces, defence research establishments, defence public sector units and the private sector. We believe that it is an exciting place for some very interesting discussions to get rolling, and to put focus on state-of-the-art military technologies and products under one roof.”

Saab’s JAS 39 Gripen was a contender to win the $13- billion Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) deal to supply 126 aircraft to the Indian Air Force. At Aero India 2015, Saab plans to display an array of products across the Land, Air, Naval and Civil domains in Hall C, at the Yelahanka Air Force Station, Bengaluru.

Long association with India
Saab has been in India for over three decades, and has been a supplying equipment to the country’s armed forces. All of the company’s business areas are active in India offering high-tech solutions and products such as the C4I, Electronic Warfare (Self Protection Systems), Signature Management, Missile & Weapon Systems, Aeronautical Platforms, Radars, Maritime Security & Civil Security and Training & Simulation Systems.

Boasting of a wide portfolio of products, Saab says it is in dialogue with the armed forces and homeland security forces for a whole range of sophisticated equipment, including avionics, air defence systems, advanced surveillance and foliage penetrating radars, camouflage, battlefield management systems, ground combat systems, naval and coast guard systems, electronic warfare systems and communication equipment.

Saab’s strong suite of cutting-edge systems on offer in India include the RBS 70 NG for the Indian tri-service VSHORAD programme. For the Army SRSAM programme, it has offered the BAMSE system, including the GIRAFFE AMB.

“Saab is already providing the Integrated Defensive Aids Suite (IDAS) for the Advanced Light Helicopter. IDAS is a fully integrated multispectral warning and self-protection system for airborne platforms. We have also offered the RBS 15 anti-ship missile to the Indian Navy. This can be launched from land, air and sea and can be suitably configured as a land attack cruise missile. In addition to this, Saab has also responded to the Navy’s RFI for the mobile coastal missile systems with integrated C2 and RBS 15,” Lindgren says.

Slew of projects, partners
Saab is carrying out a host of projects with companies in India focusing on R&D, machining, composites and aerospace technologies. To name a few, Saab has partnered with BEL, HAL and Pipavav, among others. Saab is an equity investor in Pipavav Defence and Offshore Engineering. Both companies are jointly developing Combat Management Systems in India. Saab, in collaboration with Grintex, has been selected by the Airports Authority of India to deploy Advanced Surface Movement Guidance & Control Systems (A-SMGCS) at five airports in India. The Saab A-SMGCS will enhance situational awareness and runway safety at these growing airports.
Saab is indeed bullish on India. The government had set the country’s military budget at Rs 2.29 lakh crore ($38.35 billion) for 2014-15 in the interim Budget, and indeed this market is huge.

Rafale: l'Inde prendra une décision après un rapport technique attendu en mars

Le gouvernement indien attend d'ici à début mars un rapport sur le coût du Rafale avant de prendre une décision concernant l'acquisition de 126 avions de chasse de Dassault, a déclaré mercredi le ministre de la Défense, Manohar Parrikar.

L'Inde est entrée en négociations exclusives avec Dassault en janvier 2012 en vue de conclure ce méga-contrat mais les négociations n'ont toujours pas débouché.

Le ministre indien, qui avait été le premier fin décembre à évoquer la possibilité d'un échec, a indiqué vouloir attendre le rapport d'un comité technique sur le coût de l'avion de chasse français avant de prendre une décision.

"Je ne ferai pas de commentaire jusqu'à ce que le Contract Negotiations Committee (CNC) rende son rapport final, qui est attendu d'ici à la fin du mois ou début mars", a dit Parrikar lors d'une conférence de presse au salon Aero India de l'aéronautique et de la défense de Bangalore (sud).

"J'ai demandé au CNC d'accélerer l'achèvement de ce rapport pour nous permettre de prendre une décision sur l'acquisition du Rafale. Le CNC est en train de revoir les coûts à long terme ou coûts sur le cycle de vie" de l'avion, a ajouté le ministre.

Ces déclarations interviennent alors que le ministre français de la Défense, Jean-Yves Le Drian, vient lundi et mardi à New Delhi pour évoquer le contrat.

Les négociations achoppent en particulier sur la responsabilité en cas de problème sur les 108 avions qui seront fabriqués en Inde sous la direction du groupe public Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), l'Inde réclamant à Dassault d'assumer cette garantie.

Le patron de Dassault Aviation, Eric Trappier, a déclaré lundi n'être "pas particulièrement inquiet" pour le contrat indien, après avoir décroché en Egypte sa première commande à l'export pour le Rafale.

De son côté, le ministre indien délégué à la Défense, Rao Inderjit Singh, a indiqué que le gouvernement voulait "un engagement de leur part (Dassault) sur le transfert de technologies à l'Inde et l'assurance qu'il n'y aura pas de compromis sur la qualité et les caractéristiques" de l'avion.
