Indian Navy News & Discussions

I am not sure if you know how many hrs of flight time and tactic building is needed to deploy a combat aircraft in and active role.

I on the other hand am quite sure that he does not know what he's talking about. :p:
 
Learn what, in context of the quoted article about the P-15A and my previous post?

In your article it was mentioned & i quote 'Manufactured by the Defence Public Sector unit, Mazagon Docks Ltd, Mumbai, the ship has an approximate 80% Indian content'.also we both know how far Navy is in indigenous sector,like they allocated 900crore for LCA navy what has IAF done.
 
As PN soon going to decommissioned their remaining 5 Type-21 Friagtes then they will only have 4 F-22Ps and 1 OHPs along with just 2 FAC remaining in service along with 3 Agosta-90Bs and 2 Agosta-70s. So does IN fear these machines or not???

Although in Air wing PN has:
7 P-3Cs
2 ATR-72s
4 Atlantique
4 F-27 Foker
12 Z-9C
6 Sea King
10+ Allouttee IIIs
UAVs...

Not the right thread for gauging fear factor.
Anyways,the IN might prioritise the subs and the Orions followed by the missile boats and frigates(I guess).

Navy reiterates interest in SR-SAM procurement

August 19, 2014: The Indian Navy has published its interest in procuring Short Range Surface to Air Missile (SR-SAM) systems for its surface platforms, including new generation of warships entering service. Typically, the navy will be looking at a weapon system in the 6-10 km range for short range engagement of aerial threats. Vendors have been asked to specify whether the missile they field for the potential competition is launched vertically from canisters mounted on the ship (below deck) or from the rails of a separately installed mechanical launcher with provision of loading the missiles from storage compartment located below deck. The navy has stipulated that initial service life of the missile should not be less than 10 years with provision to extend the life based on periodic inspection. A 21 point questionaire requiring all aspects of missiles that may be fielded in the bid has been sought by the navy. The SR- SAM requirement, it may be remembered, runs parallel to a QR-SAM requirement. Both requirements broadly intend to fill the gap left by the failure of the Trishul missile system. The navy has not specified if it wants the SR-SAM to have a limited point defence capability.

Navy scouts submarine-hunting Sonobuoys for Il-38 fleet


August 19, 2014: The Indian Navy intends to procure 1,000 Passive Directional Sonobuoy systems to hunt submarines for its Il-38SD maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft fleet. The sonobuoys are primarily intended as an aid for search, surveillance and localisation of submarines using the sonobuoy receiver system already integrated on the Il-38SD aircraft. The navy has stipulated that the sonobuoys should be passive directional and should be capable of being operated with the sonobuoy receiver system of Il-38SD stationed at INS Hansa, Goa. The sonobuoy should have a minimum detection range of 6 km and it should be able to operate for minimum 2 hours post deployment. The sonobuoy should have the facility to select depths at which the hydrophones can be deployed with the maximum depth that the hydrophone of the sonobuoy should be able to operate being not less than 300 metres. Satisfactory performance of the sonobuoy will be ascertained and certified by the end user through established trial procedures of the Indian Navy in coordination with the vendor.
