NTI: Country Overviews: India: Missile Chronology The land-based version of the BrahMos is a “single vehicle weapon carrying three missiles in containers with launch readiness time of five minutes.” The land-based missiles are capable of operation in a nuclear and biological environment and the carriers are fitted with hydraulic launcher control systems with the option for using remote instruments. BrahMos Aerospace has already received a letter of intent and monetary advance from the Navy on the basis of which production of the missile has begun. Sivathanu Pillai states that the first BrahMos supersonic cruise missile will be deployed on an Indian Navy warship in 2005. www.nti.org /e_research/profiles/India/Missile/1931_4696.html   (8544 words)

F 20 Godavari Class Majority of the weapon fire control systems, sonar, and navigational and communication suites onboard Beas has been supplied by public sector units like M/s BEL, ECIL, HAL and Keltron. The delay in delivery of the frigates was largely due to frequent changes in the design by the Navy and lack of proper planning. The Indian Navy ordered three more Godavaris in 1988 with the first being delivered in 2000. www.globalsecurity.org /military/world/india/f-godavari.htm   (1679 words)

Sagarika / Dhanush- India Missile Special Weapons Delivery Systems The Indian Navy is apparently seeking another variant of the Dhanush surface-to-surface ballistic missile that is capable of striking land targets within a range of 500 km. With the development of Dhanush still at an early stage, the debate on cruise versus ballistic missiles has revived within the Navy. However, since the Dhanush is reported by some sources to have a 350 km range, compared to the 250-300 km range of the Sagarika, the change in designation may reflect a design change. www.fas.org /nuke/guide/india/missile/sagarika.htm   (1679 words)

Sagarika / Dhanush- India Missile Special Weapons Delivery Systems The Indian Navy is apparently seeking another variant of the Dhanush surface-to-surface ballistic missile that is capable of striking land targets within a range of 500 km. The launch was dubbed a "technology demonstrator" and several more missile tests may be required to make this weapon battle-worthy. DRDO may also be developing a 300-km submarine-launched ballistic missile, Sagarika, based on the Prithvi. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/world/india/sagarika.htm   (517 words)

WHAT The Advance Technology Vehicle(ATV) is the secret nuclear submarine project of the DRDO for the Indian Navy and with India going nuclear great hopes are pinned on this project. The advancements in technology and trials and research on vehicles is executed here and ARDE has ranges which supports all weapon systems that need traction trials. DRDO’s plan for an indigenous ASWAC came a cropper when the technology demonstrator with radar rotodome and EW equipment fitted on an Avro 748 crashed near Chennai on 10 Jan 1999 with the loss of the experienced crew and scientists and a major setback to the project. www.indiadefence.com /DRDO.htm   (1644 words)

DRDO: A stellar success DRDO has also produced the APSOH, Nagan, Ushus, Humsa and Panchendriya (submarine) sonars for the Indian Navy as well as the SV-2000 maritime patrol radar and the Mihir Sonar for the naval version of the Dhruv helicopter. DRDO has also leveraged the Rajendra project to develop an advanced Weapon-Locating Radar (WLR), the likes of which would have been invaluable in a war like Kargil, where the Pakistanis had American WLRs and the Indian Army lacked a similar product. Consisting of 145 vehicles with various subsystems, the Samyuktha provides the army with the ability to detect and jam enemy communications, monitor movements -- an ability that only a few select nations possess. in.rediff.com /news/2005/jan/19spec2.htm   (517 words)

Indian Navy to procure two Lockheed P-3 Orion Patrol Aircraft The lease of P-3 Orions, instead of their outright purchase, could also be an indication that the deal is a stop gap measure and the Indian Navy's real interest is in acquisition of 737-based P-8A Multimission Maritime Aircraft, which is due to enter service around 2012-2014. There has been some skepticism here on whether India is serious about purchasing US weapon systems. The P-8A MMA is capable of operating with long range UAVs like the Herons that India is procuring from Israel. kuku.sawf.org /News/3867.aspx   (652 words)

INQUIRY INTO DEFENCE BEYOND 2000: An Independent Review of the Foreign Affairs, Defence & Trade Parliamentary Select Committee's Interim Report Most of the weapon systems, command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence are affordable for a state like New Zealand that seeks good quality general purpose forces that can work with others.   The security of sea lanes of communication in East Asia (there is tension now in the South China Seas, Taiwan, Korea and from piracy), Indian Ocean (piracy and spill over from tensions in the Gulf), Middle East (from Iraq), Mediterranean (Yugoslavian Navy) cannot be taken for granted. The Report claims that the protection of New Zealand’s sea lines of communication, defence of Northern Australia, and contributions to collective security are implausible current employment contexts (p 23). www.vuw.ac.nz /css/docs/working_papers/WP13.html   (539 words)

NTI: Country Overviews: India: Missile Chronology Baskakov says that the missile is now ready for deployment on Indian navy surface and submarine platforms; plans are also afoot to produce a modified version of the missile for the air force. The land-based version of the BrahMos is a “single vehicle weapon carrying three missiles in containers with launch readiness time of five minutes.” The land-based missiles are capable of operation in a nuclear and biological environment and the carriers are fitted with hydraulic launcher control systems with the option for using remote instruments. One test-flight of the missile is expected to take place in 2004 and after the government grants formal sanction for the project in 2004, missile development will likely be accomplished in the next three or four years. www.nti.org /e_research/profiles/India/Missile/1931_4696.html   (7356 words)
