11 May 2010 Boeing PR: Boeing today announced that it received a key communications technology for the Indian Navys P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft from Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in April, one month ahead of schedule.
BEL delivered the Indian-designed Data Link II, a communications system that will enable exchange of tactical data and messages between Indian Navy aircraft, ships and shore establishments. Boeing will install the system during P-8I final assembly at its facility in Renton, Washington.
Our deepening partnership with Bharat Electronics Limited endorses our ongoing initiative to build and strengthen the aerospace supply chain," said Dinesh Keskar, president, Boeing India. "BELs efficiency in reaching this milestone highlights the speed with which the industry is maturing.
Data Link II is the first Indian-manufactured item delivered to Boeing as part of the P-8I program. The P-8I is a variant of the P-8A Poseidon that Boeing designed and is building for the U.S. Navy. Data Link II represents the first P-8I Industrial Participation project promised by Boeing in the area of avionics systems, said Vivek Lall, vice president and India country head, Boeing Defense, Space & Security. Boeing contracted BEL in August 2009 to build this critical communications technology, and they have done an outstanding job by delivering on their commitment.
BEL Chairman Ashwani Kumar Datt said, This milestone is a demonstration of the capability that BEL has developed to deliver cutting-edge work in avionics, software and structural components. We are pleased to partner with Boeing on the P8-I platform and we look forward to achieving many more milestones together.
In addition to supplying an essential technology for the Indian Navy, BELs delivery of the state-of-the-art electronics will support P-8I test and integration activities in Seattle. BEL will deliver the last of the Data Link components in late 2011. Boeing will deliver the first of eight P-8I aircraft to India within 48 months of the original contract signing, which took place in January 2009. India is the first international customer for the P-8.
Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a leading Indian defense electronics major, is a government-owned Navratna company. BEL is engaged in the design, development and manufacture of a wide range of cutting-edge C4I solutions, military communication systems, radars and sonars, naval systems, and electronic warfare systems, for use by defense services, paramilitary organizations and other government entities.
