Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructures-Limited indigenously produces F-16 fighter wing at Hyderabad facility

US Company Lockheed Martin Corporation has formally recognised Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructures-Limited as a potential future coproducer of fighter wings. Tata Lockheed Martin Hyderabad facility indigenously produced the first fighter wing shipset.

KT Rama Rao, Minister for Industries and Commerce, Telangana, along with other government officials, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and Global Business Development executives and Tata Advanced Systems Limited and Tata Lockheed Martin’s leadership attended a ceremonial event to mark the production of first fighter wing prototype at the Tata Lockheed Martin’s facility at Adibatla in Hyderabad.

Tata Lockheed Martin Facility build one of the most technologically complex aerostructures interchangeable and replaceable fighter wing.

Lockheed Martin and Tata entered into an agreement to develop a F-16 fighter wing prototype in 2018. Through the project, Tata Lockheed Martin demonstrated the capability to perform detailed part manufacturing and delivery of a fully compliant representative fighter aircraft wing shipset.

This will further strengthen Lockheed Martin’s partnership with India and support its F-21 offering for procurement of 114 new fighter aircraft for India and the Indian Air Force by providing additional indigenous production capability.

New Made-In-India VL-SRSAM Missile Successfully Tested To Strengthen Navy

India on Tuesday successfully flight tested the indigenously developed new Vertical Launch Short Range Surface to Air Missile (VL-SRSAM) from the coast off Balasore. The quick reaction surface to air missile developed by DRDO was test launched from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur at about 3.08 pm from a vertical launcher against an electronic target at a very low altitude.

The air defence system can engage targets at around 15km is being developed by DRDO for naval warships. VL-SRSAM is capable of neutralising various aerial threats at close ranges including sea skimming targets.

The next generation all weather air defence missile system can provide point and area defence against various aerial targets like jets, fighter aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles. The canister-based state of art weapon system can identify, track, engage and destroy the target with high kill probability. It has a strike range of about 40km.

IAF to start User Trials of Uttam Aesa Radar soon

Indian Air Force will start user trials cum evaluation of the indigenously developed Uttam active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar later this month which has been developed by the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment.

Uttam has 95% indigenous content that can track 50 targets in the sky at a range above 100km and engage four of them simultaneously. Once cleared for production, Uttam Radar will be mounted on the 16th LCA Tejas Mk1A aircraft and eventually on all 123 jets and derivatives of the radar will be used on the entire Sukhoi 30MKI fleet as well as on the carrier based MiG-29K fighter fleet.

Uttam Aesa Radar already has been installed on two Limited series LCA Tejas aircraft and another one is installed on the Hawker Siddeley 800 Business executive jet on lease to the program and has completed 250 hours of in-flight trials in all modes.

India’s Bio jet Fuel Technology Receives Military Recognition

India’s Ministry of Science and Technology announced that it has awarded provisional clearance to a domestically developed technology which produced bio-based jet fuel for use on military aircraft.

The fuel underwent inspection and evaluation testing, along with trials over the last three years. The certification announced on the 29th of November marks an acknowledgment of the satisfactory results obtained from various ground and inflight testing.

This provisional clearance allows the Indian Air Force to use bio-based jet fuel, produced using CSIR IIP’s technology across all operational aircraft, thereby enabling commercialisation of the technology.

Defence Tri-Service exercise conducted in high reaches of Kashmir valley

Chinar Corps conducted a helicopter borne training and validation exercise in the higher reaches of Kashmir valley. This was a tri service exercise undertaken in Kashmir with the Indian Air Force, Navy and Army.

The exercise was planned to validate the joint capability to insert the task force tactically behind enemy lines in an intense air defence and electronic warfare operating environment. The successful conduct of the mission validated the true spirit of jointness achieved in planning, utilisation of resources and accomplishment of laid down mission objectives as a true reflection of the tri service ethos of the Indian Armed forces.

The helicopter dropped task force operated in the snow-clad region at heights over 9000 feet. The heliborne task force included troops from Infantry, The Special Forces and the MARCOS from Indian Navy. The heli drop exercise included full transportation and armed helicopters from Indian Army and Indian Air Force including the Apaches attack helicopters.

The exercise showcased the capability of the Chinar Corps and the Indian Army to carry out successful operations in high altitude areas incorporating all facets of contemporary and modern battlefield in synergy with Indian Air Force and Indian Navy.
