Supersonic Torpedo Smart Test, Indian Navy's Israeli SCRG Gun, RTA-90 Aircraft, France To Offer Nuclear Submarine

DRDO successfully tests long range Supersonic Missile Assisted Release of Torpedo

The DRDO on Monday tested a long range Supersonic Missile Assisted Torpedo SMART. The test was done from Wheeler Island in Odisha. The system is a next generation missile based standoff torpedo delivery system. During the test, the full range capability of the missile was successfully demonstrated. The system has been designed to enhance anti-submarine warfare capability far beyond the conventional range of the torpedo.

This was a textbook launch where the entire trajectory was monitored by the electro optic telemetry system, various range radars including the downrange instrumentation and downrange ships. The missile carried a torpedo, parachute delivery system and release mechanisms.

This canister-based missile system consists of advanced technologies like too stage solid propulsion, electro mechanical actuators and precision inertial navigation. The missile is launched from a ground mobile launcher and it can cover a range of distances. A number of DRDO laboratories have developed various technologies for this advanced missile system. According to officials, the system is being developed to be used by the Indian Navy.

Indian Navy’s new gun to bust pirates & terrorists uses Israeli technology

Last month, the Indian Navy commissioned its most advanced destroyer, the INS Visakhapatnam. One does not need to be a defence buff to be impressed by the scale and sleek lines of the Visakhapatnam and its menacing weapons like the 76mm main gun, anti submarine rocket launchers and BrahMos missiles.  

The INS Visakhapatnam gives the Indian Navy world class air defence capabilities. This is due to the combination of its MF-STAR phased array radar which can detect scores of enemy aircraft and missiles hundreds of kilometres away and (MRSAM) Medium Range Surface to Air Missile which can shoot down airborne targets including supersonic anti-ship missiles.

The Visakhapatnam has another Israeli origin weapon system that has not attracted much publicity that is the ship had been fitted with an SRCG (Stabilised Remote Control Gun), A gun fitted with an oversized CCTV camera.

The Ordnance Factory of Tiruchirappalli had handed over to the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard the first batch of 25 SRCG systems in June. The SRCG was built under a transfer of technology pact with Israeli company Elbit.

French defence minister to visit India, likely to offer cooperation in Nuclear submarine program

French Defence Minister Florence Parley is visiting India this week with cooperation in the maritime domain topping the agenda with Paris keen to focus on New Delhi as its primary partner in the Indo Pacific region.

Cooperation on the naval front is expected to be on the agenda, Discrete talks have been held on nuclear technology for submarines and the matter could be further taken up.

India has traditionally relied on Russian technology for its nuclear fleet but is now moving to a new series of attack submarines. Access to modern technology will be crucial to making these submarines as quiet as possible on missions.

After the AUKUS deal, the possibility of sharing nuclear submarine technology with trusted partners has found more legitimacy. France has been a close partner when it comes to submarine technology with India building six Scorpene boats in Mumbai. The French side is also likely to bring up the issue of an ongoing contest to supply six more submarines under Project-75I.

France is staring at disqualification from the bidding process due to a clause that mandates an operational Air Independent Propulsion system that enables boats to stay submerged for up to three weeks.

HAL bats for New indigenous Transport / Passenger Aircraft Program

HAL Chief said that the company is ready to lead and develop a Transport aircraft that can also be converted to a passenger jet so that it can cater to both the markets.

C-295 program procured to replace the older Avro aircraft fleet in IAF but small sections within IAF are also supporting procuring more C-295 aircraft so that it can eventually also replace workhorse AN-32, a soviet era medium haul transport aircraft in the fleet that could result in orders for 100 more C-295 that has got HAL worried.

HAL’s proposed Avro upgrade program has not been cleared by IAF and In NAL’s Regional Transport Aircraft RTA-90 program, HAL was supposed to be a manufacturing partner but the program has not moved due to the pandemic situation.

Lack of experience of NAL is also hindering its proposal due to which HAL is keen to led new project. HAL doesn’t want to concede Transport aircraft space to the private sector companies in India that will keep foreign origin aircraft in production, HAL is lobbying with Ministry of Defence and IAF to let it come up with a conceptual design of the MTA Class aircraft in coming years for which it held talks with IAF.
