Navy’s Kamov-28 fleet to get Israeli Skimmer Naval Helicopter Package
10 Russian Kamov-28 submarine hunting helicopters with the Indian Navy will start getting IAI’s Skimmer Naval Helicopter Package that will include advanced mission systems, sensors, and avionics such as Radar, Electronic Warfare Support Measures, Electro Optic Payloads, Data link, Communication Intelligence, Sonar, Sonics, Mission and Management and Monitoring Systems.
In 2016, the Ministry of Defence and Russian manufacturer
Rosoboron Export had signed an agreement where it was decided that the
helicopters will be first sent to Kumertau in Russia at the facility of Russian
Helicopters where they will undergo a technical overhaul to enhance the
aircraft’s life and performance.
After their return from Russia at Naval air station Dega, IAI
Technicians will then carry out the integration of the Skimmer Naval Helicopter
Package that will be certified by the Russian Helicopter experts before they
are cleared to join back in service with the Indian Navy.

Abdul Kalam Missile Complex scores a hat-trick of launches
The APJ Abdul Kalam Missile Complex which houses the Research
Centre Imarat, Defence Research & Development Laboratory and the Advanced
Systems Laboratory scored a hat-trick of sorts with three successful launches —
vertical launch of Short Range Surface to Air Missile SR-SAM, air version of
Brahmos supersonic cruise missile and the Stand Off Anti-Tank SANT missile this
month. The first two were test fired at Chandipur integrated test range off the
coast of Odisha and the last one was flight tested from the Pokhran range in
Rajasthan, all indigenously developed.
The VL-SRSAM missile is for the Indian Navy to be fixed on
the ships. It was launched against an electronic target at a very low altitude
and all sub systems performed as per expectation.
The first trial was held in February this year and the latest
one is confirmatory trial to prove the consistent performance of the
configuration and integrated operation.
Brahmos was being tested for advanced propulsions, engines,
airframes, navigation and guidance systems. It was test fired from the
supersonic fighter aircraft Sukhoi-30MKI, paving the way for the serial
production of air-version of the missiles. The first test was held in July.
BrahMos is a joint venture between Indias DRDO and Russia NPOM, already
inducted into the Armed Forces.
SANT is equipped with a state-of-the-art MMW seeker and
propulsion technology providing high precision strike capability with 10km
range.
The flight test was successful in meeting all its mission
objectives. The release mechanism, advanced guidance and tracking algorithms,
all avionics with integrated software, performed satisfactorily and tracking
systems monitored all mission events.
Indigenously designed and developed Helicopter launched Standoff
Anti-tank SANT Missile was successfully flight tested from Pokhran ranges.
