Lockheed Martin eyes for win-win partnerships at Aero India



The C-130J Super Hercules in IAF colours will be Lockheed Martin's star product at the show, in addition to the F-16s.


Bangalore: A 20-member team from American plane-maker Lockheed Martin (LM) will touchdown in Bangalore for the Aero India-2013, hoping for new opportunities in aerospace and defence sector. As they get down to business hours in the cozy comforts of air show pavilions, the Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots will take the newly-inducted mammoth LM-built beast – the C-130J Super Hercules turbo-prop military transport aircraft— on a date, displaying its cool flying features.
In an interview to Express on Wednesday, Abhay Paranjape, Director, Business Development, Lockheed Martin National Executive, India, said that this time his team is hitting Bangalore with multiple agenda. “Meeting potential customers, suppliers and expanding our relationship with Indian industries tops our mission. We are definitely looking to expand our presence in India, especially after the induction of C-130Js,” Abhay said. He said the LM team also hopes to establish win-win partnerships, in addition to identifying potential suppliers, to fulfil Ministry of Defence's offset policy.
He confirmed that the talks for the IAF acquiring additional six more C-130Js have reached advanced stages. “The IAF has given a letter of request for additional six aircraft based on which a letter of acceptance was issued. The modalities are being worked out by both Indian and US governments. The discussions are in potentially final stages,” Abhay said. The IAF No 77 Squadron already operates six C-130Js.
For the flying display, there won't be any aircraft from the LM's side this time. However, the US Air Force would be bringing the F-16s. When asked about the slowdown in the aerospace sector, Abhay said: “It is still growing, may be not at the rate it was. We see India as a growing market.”
Wants to work with DRDO on UAVs: Lockheed Martin says it has expressed interest for joining hands with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for India's future unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programmes. “We have recently exhibited our expertise by joining hands with Delhi Technological University and gave expertise for student to develop a UAV. We are willing to work with DRDO for various urban UAV programmes. If DRDO is desring then we would work together for some really exciting UAV projects,” Abhay said.

US Arms Sales To India On The Increase





The US is steadily muscling into the lucrative Indian defence market, giving jitters to traditional arms suppliers like Russia, Israel, France and the UK. Having already notched up arms sales worth $8 billion to India in the last few years despite continuing problems over transfer of “sensitive” technology, it’s aiming to corner much more with the Obama-II administration now taking charge in Washington.

The huge interest in India, which will spend over $100 billion in acquiring weapon systems over the next decade, is evident from the fact that as many as 67 American armament and aviation companies will be hawking their wares in the 9th edition of Aero-India to be held in Bangalore from February 6 to 10.

Union defence production secretary R K Mathur on Monday said 607 companies, including 352 foreign ones, and 78 official delegations from various countries have already confirmed their participation in the air-show that would be “bigger and better” than the previous editions.

After the US companies, the largest participation will be from France with 49 firms, followed by the UK (33), Russia (29), Germany (22), Israel (18) and Belgium (16).

True, the buzz generated in earlier editions, with global aviation majors jostling to grab the $20 billion MMRCA (medium multi-role combat aircraft) project to supply 126 fighters to IAF, will be missing after India down-selected the French Rafale jet for the final commercial negotiations.

India invites Chinese delegation to Aero India air show
By Rahul Bedi

1/23/2013

India has invited China to the 2013 Aero India air show in Bangalore in early February after tensions between the neighbours over disputed borders have eased and bilateral military relations improved.

Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne sent an invitation to his Chinese counterpart in early January, although R K Mathur, the MoD's secretary of defence production, told reporters in New Delhi on 21 January that the ministry had yet to receive a response from Beijing.

Industry sources said the MoD was adamant that a Chinese delegation attending the show would in no way be "embarrassed" by participating Taiwanese defence companies, and no Taiwanese flags or national anthem would be allowed at the venue.

Diplomatic sources told IHS Jane's that India anticipated a "senior" Chinese military delegation visiting Bangalore after the successful conclusion of the fifth bilateral Annual Defence Dialogue in Beijing on 14 January. The two-day deliberations between tri-service delegations headed by Indian Defence Secretary Shashikant Sharma and Lieutenant General Qi Jianghuo, deputy chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army, confirmed the resumption later this year of joint military exercises that terminated acrimoniously in 2009.

First official wind-tunnel model of IAF FGFA
and a new rocket-powered laser-guided bomb developed by DRDO,

these are among the things Im looking forward for.
