The navy has acquired a composite ballistic launcher that has been developed by DRDO
Following the 26/11 terror attacks on Mumbai, the Indian Navy is doing all to better its armory. The navy has acquires a composite ballistic launcher that has been developed by the Defense Research Development Organisation (DRDO) in Pune.
AM Apte, director of Armament Development and Research Enterprise (ARDE), told MiD DAY that the launcher had already been tested and would be ready for production in a year's time.
Meant for close-range weapon system, which would be operated from a warship, the launcher can fire from three guns that would be integrated with a computer. Also, the weapon system will have such a might, that it can penetrate special homogenised armoured steel of more than 500 mm thickness.
Demonstrating the components of the launcher, a senior scientist, said, "The launcher has already been supplied to users. However, we attached three more units to it and have tested it for the Indian Navy."
He added that the weapon system could identify its target and fire on its own adjusting the horizontal and vertical movements when remotely controlled from within a cabin.

TRISHUL: CMS, Radars & VLS Modules Of Project 1135.6 FFG & Project 17 FFG

The top two diagrams illustrate the EMDINA combat management system (CMS) originally co-designed by the Indian Navy's Weapons and Electronic Systems Engineering Establishment (WESEE) and TATA Power as part of project MEDINA. This centralised CMS architecture has been adopted for the Navy's three Project 17 guided-missile frigates (FFG), three Project 15A guided-missile destroyers (DDG), and the four Project 28 ASW guided-missile corvettes. The following two diagrams illustrate the EMCCA Computer Aided Action Information System (CAAIS), also co-developed by WESEE and TATA Power, under Project MECCA and is presently on board the three Project 16 FFGs, three Project 16A FFGs and three Project 15 DDGs. The Fregat-M2EM radar can be found on board all six Project 1135.6 FFGs and the three Project 17 FFGs, while the Fregat MAE-4K radar has been developed by FSUE Salyut for installation on board the aft mast of the Project 1135.6 FFG and Project 17 FFG. However, these have not yet been installed, and the Indian Navy will likely select a L-band radar of either Indian or Israeli origin. The SGPFS vertical launch system for the Club-M is the bottom-most illustration. This VLS is on board both the first three Project 1135.6 FFGs and Project 17 FFGs. For the follow-on three Project 1135.6 FFGs now being built by Russia's Kaliningrad-based Yantar Shipyard the UVLM system will be installed. The UVLM module is built by Larsen & Toubro for the BrahMos supersonic MRCM and it is this module that will also be on board the three upgraded Kashin 2-class DDGs and three Project 15A DDGs

interesting so by 2020 indian navy surface combatant fleet will be like this

3 carriers

10 destroyers[ 3 delhi class+3 kolkata class 15A+ 4 PROJECT 15B]
PROJECT 15B REPLACES rajput class

24 frigates[9 krivack+ 3 brahmaputra+ 3 shivalick+ 7 project 17a +2 project 17b]
to be noted that in all there will be 12 project 17 frigate 3 are shivalik ,7 will be 17A AND 2 17B]

20 CORVETTES[ includes 12 project 28 nd 28a]

great stuff,interestingly if we leave the carriers and few other types like delhi class destroyer ,brahmaputra class frigate or the kora class corvette,,all others are stealthy or semi stealthy warships,,great step towards true blue water capability

Over the month, leader of the Sevmash yard in Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk Oblast, has been twice in India to negotiate new contract terms for sales of the aircraft carrier “Admiral Gorshkov”.
Sevmash General Director Nikolay Kalistratov today again meets with Indian defence authorities for negotiations over the takeover terms of the “Admiral Gorshkov”, by the Indians called “Vikramaditia”, the Sevmash informs in a press release.

The visit is the second in a month. In mid-February Kalistratov and his delegation confirmed that the Indian side would in the near future transfer 250 million USD, which will help keep up progress with the reconstruction and modernization of the vessel

IN doesnt have an issue with surface fleet strength. But sub-surface its way below par, other than the scorpenes there is nothing concrete. We cannot wait for the ATV or the Akula, we need more subs if we need to have a viable blue navy.

IN does have a problem with the surface fleet. The kind of role IN is envisaging for itself, and the expansion of the number of ports and shipyards in India, IN is going to be desperately short of numbers.

However the speed with which ships have till date been built in India are no indicator for the future. The private shipyards in India are finally comming up, and they are mammoth in size. MoD has also now developed the policy wherein private shipyards can manufacture warships. So things should turn a corner 2012 onwards.

But still the orders arnt coming thru from the IN right? What are the designs? We still dont have experience, so delays can be expected as they are the norms here.

What about the subs?

Other than Scorpenes, nothing has been placed. ATV and Akula might never come.

Akula has got delayed due to the accident. IN might be jittery take over such a vessel.

ATV is a Indian endeavour, we have seen enough 'near misses' in research history to trust the schedule.

May be you can find a connection with Vikramaditya price hike. Navy is keen on it. ATV was supposed to be unveiled on 26th January but the new date is some where in April.
