B'lore: Forces in internal security only as last resort- Defence Minister


Bangalore, Feb 2 (IANS) Armed forces could be used for internal security duties only as a last resort, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said Tuesday.

"Internal security is the primary concern of state police and paramilitary forces," he told reporters here after witnessing a flight display of the light combat aircraft (LCA) 'Tejas' trainer version, the prototype-version and the first of the eight fighters being produced for induction in the Indian Air Force by 2014.

"Even in Jammu and Kashmir, state police was being strengthened so that armed forces were left to take care of border and forward areas," Antony said.

Noting that "as a policy, armed forces are deployed on borders and forward areas to protect the country", he said forces do help in rescue and relief operations in times of natural calamities.

India beefing up security in border areas: Antony

Bangalore, Feb 2 (IANS) Defence Minister A.K. Antony Tuesday said security in all border areas, including Arunachal Pradesh, was being strengthened to meet any eventuality or threat.

"We are strengthening security apparatus on all borders across land, sea and air to meet any eventuality or threat," he said.

Antony was talking to reporters here after witnessing the flight display of several aircraft being produced for induction in the Indian Air Force by 2014.

The defence minister said strengthening security on borders was an act of deterrence and not for confrontation. India, he noted, was for maintaining friendly relations with all its neighbours.

"The security beef up is not just in Arunachal Pradesh, which is an integral part of India. The beef up was to increase our deterrence against any eventuality," Antony asserted.



India spent more on defence acquisitions this fiscal: Antony

Bangalore, Feb 2 (IANS) India spent more on defence acquisitions this year than last year to equip its armed forces with the latest arsenal, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said Tuesday.

"We have spent highest percentage of funds for defence acquisitions this fiscal (2009-10) so far. It is more compared to what we spent in the last fiscal (2008-09)," Antony told reporters here.

Asserting that there was no budget constraint for defence acquisitions, Antony said the government would spend more in the ensuing fiscal and thereafter to modernise the armed forces with the latest weapons.

Antony, however, ruled out having a rolling budget for defence expenditure.

IAF orders another 750 Akash SAMs

Bangalore, Feb 2 (IANS) The Indian Air Force (IAF) has ordered an additional 750 Akash medium-range surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) from state-run defence behemoth Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) at a cost of Rs.42.79 billion ($925 million), it was announced here Tuesday.

"A decision to place this fresh order with BEL was taken after the IAF expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Akash missiles that are deployed in two squadrons," Defence Minister A.K. Antony said Tuesday.

The IAF will deploy 125 missiles each in six squadrons as and when BEL delivers them.

"The first order for 250 missiles was placed last year on a pilot basis. The IAF has decided to deploy the weapon in more squadrons for optimal use," Antony said after inaugurating the digital flight control (DFC) computer facility at BEL here.

BEL chairman and managing director Ashwani Kumar Datt said that the first order was worth Rs.12.21 billion.

Designed and developed by the state-run Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Akash missile defence system is part of the country's integrated guided missile development programme.

"The missile can target an enemy aircraft up to 30 km away, at altitudes up to 18,000 meters and can be fired from both tracked and wheeled platforms," Datt told reporters on the margins of the function.

The missile is capable of carrying conventional as well as nuclear warheads with a payload of 60 kg.

On the occasion, BEL also handed over to the defence minister an advanced gun fire control system for the Indian Navy.

India to test-fly AWACS in 2012


Bangalore, Feb 2 (PTI)

The indigenous Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) System integrated onboard the Brazilian jet aircraft EMB145 as per IAF requirement would be flight tested in 2012, a key official involved in the project said.


The AEW&C system (also called AWACS - Airborne Warning and Control System) is being developed by the Bangalore-based Centre or Airborne Systems (CABS), a lab under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the IAF.

Under a deal signed between India and Brazil in 2008, Embraer aircraft manufacturer would modify its EMB145 to carry Active Array Antenna Unit by India on the aircraft's fuselage. Three modified EMB-145 aircraft would be developed under the agreement.

"AEW&C's flying platform is the modified EMB145, which will take to skies later this year. It is scheduled to be delivered to us in Aug 2011," CABS Director S Christopher said here on Tuesday.

Defence Minister A K Antony inaugurated System Test and Integration Rig (STIR) complex at CABS for testing airborne systems.

Christopher said: "...our mission systems will be ready by this year. It will be tested in this rig in 2011, followed by flight testing in 2012".

The indigenous AEW&C system would detect, identify and classify threats present in the surveillance

Earlier, speaking after inaugurating the System Test and Integration Rig (STIR) complex of the Centre of Airborne Systems, a lab of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) here, he said importing defence systems is to meet the country's immediate operational requirements.

"However, imports can never be a permanent solution. DRDO must therefore build long-term capabilities and focus on quality, rather than quantity. It must build up intrinsic design and development capability while developing these systems", Antony said.

India to buy more BrahMos missiles | Top Russian news and analysis online | 'RIA Novosti' newswire

India has plans to introduce into its armed forces the new BrahMos missile, the head of the BrahMos Aerospace company, Sivathanu Pillai, told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

Established in 1998, BrahMos Aerospace, a joint Indian-Russian venture, produces and markets BrahMos supersonic missiles. The sea-based and land-based versions have been successfully tested and put into service with the Indian Army and Navy.

Earlier on Tuesday, Russia's security chief, Nikolai Patrushev, visited the BrahMos headquarters in New Delhi. BrahMos is an acronym for the cities of Brahmaputra and Moscow.

The missile, known as BrahMos Block-2, can have a top speed of over Mach 5, which could make it virtually impossible to intercept, and can effectively engage even slightly visible ground targets. It has been designed primarily to meet the needs of the army.

"The army officials said they were pleased with last year's ground trials of the missile, and approved of putting it into service," Pillai said.

The company has also been developing another version of the missile for Air Force, the BrahMos-A missile, with a reduced mass and increased aerodynamic stability. The Indian Air Force chose the Russian-made SU-30 MKI Flanker-H multirole fighter as the trial platform for the missile.

"[This] version of the missile is now ready. Air trials will commence in 2011, and by 2012, we are planning to fit the missiles onto aircraft," Pillai said.

The required modifications of the SU-30 MKI for integration with the BrahMos-A missile system are being carried out by the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Russia's Sukhoi Design Bureau.

Analysts estimate that India could purchase up to 1,000 BrahMos missiles for its armed forces in the next decade, and export some 500 to other countries during the same period.

Efforts to bring in more NRI scientists: Antony


The DRDO, particularly its Life sciences cluster of laboratories, has recently taken up aggressive efforts to promote recruitment of NRI scientists, after the period of 2010-20 was declared as the "decade of innovations" to sustain scientific temper and promote innovations, Antony said.

The challenge today lies in synergising efforts and contributions of DRDO, academia and industry in working out an acceptable, realisable model, which could be used for building up an indigenous capability in defence technologies, he said.

Agni 5 ballistic missile to be tested in early 2011





much has been said and been reported in the media about our Agni5 missile but i'm going to talk about the positives of the missile to give a last minute brush-up on this missile on the developing stage.

1) The missile will carry 3 MIRV warheads that could hit the given target or the set of different targets with precision

2)The Agni-3 missile has filled the vital gaps in India's defence capability while Agni-5 will take it a step further, as we are on par with the European nations and China when it comes to possession of missile system capability, Only the USA is ahead of us.

3)The development of Agni-5 will put India on an advantageous position in the region as it could hit any target within the geopolitical system

4) It has a state-of-the-art inertial guidance, highly accurate sensors with high immunity from jamming. The ASL is also working on new warhead technologies that could be used for Agni-5. The warheads will be capable of hitting the given targets piercing through the anti-ballistic missile defence system of the enemy. They are capable of fooling the radar system.

5)There will be decoy warheads which will be fired along with the genuine ones. The idea is to divert the attention of the enemy's defence system. The enemy will lose its anti-ballistic missiles firing at the decoy warheads while the real warheads will hit the targets, destroying the enemy's capability. The warheads will also pass through the atmosphere dodging the enemy's missiles.

This 5,000-km range missile has already been developed. The missile will be tested from the Wheeler Island only after scientists get the government nod early 2011. And this has already scared the **** out of chinese defence planners as this has made them worried because the missile is highly manouverable and can hit targets anywhere in the northern most region of China if its moved to the north-eastern part of India.

Antony wants reverse brain-drain


COIMBATORE: Defence Minister A K Antony has appealed to the scientists of Indian-origin working abroad to return to India to work in its national research and development laboratories. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) had taken up “aggressively” recruitment of non-resident Indian scientists in its research labs, he added.


The Defence Minister was here to inaugurate the DRDO-Bharathiar University Centre for Life Sciences, established at a cost of Rs 18 crore, at the Bharathiar University on Tuesday. The Centre was the first of the three DRDO centres to become fully functional.

In his inaugural address, he said, “The Indian-origin scientists working abroad must be encouraged to return and work in the national research and development laboratories, universities and other scientific institutions to support the collaborative research programmes of the DRDO.”

Thus, the brain drain of the past could be converted into a “brain gain” for the future, he said.

In fact, the DRDO, especially its Life Sciences cluster of laboratories, had taken up vigorous efforts to promote recruitment of non-resident Indian scientists, Antony said, noting that the decade 2010-2020 was declared as the ‘Decade of Innovations’ to sustain the scientific temper and promote innovative thinking

- A. K. Antony inaugurates STIR facility at Centre for Airborne Systems

Bangalore: Defence minister AK Antony today inaugurated the System Test and Integration Rig (STIR) Complex at the Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS). The STIR facility is created to provide an environmental condition as close to aircraft as possible for evaluation of all the AEW&C systems before their integration on to the platform for flight evaluation.

The minister, after witnessing the flight display of the LCA, said that the Cabinet committee on security, after going through the progress of LCA has cleared nearly Rs 8000 crores for the future further development of LCA variants and a new engine.
"By the end of this year the IOC of LCA is going to be a reality. By the end of 2012 final operation clearance will also be there. Air Force has given orders for 20 LCAs. Now the DSC has cleared for another 20 and very soon it will be taken to the cabinet for final clearance," AK Antony said.

"The aircraft will have to undergo rigorous trials before it becomes a complete fighting machine. The LCA team, along with organisations like the Air Force, ADA, HAL, DRDO and many other national laboratories like National Aerospace Laboratory and private industries are working together to make the aircraft operational," he said.

"Our aero engine from GTRE has matured to the level that it will go to flying test bed trials later this year," said Dr. Dipankar Banerjee, CC R&D (ANS) & DS. The minister said that the development of military engine is crucial to our efforts to achieve self-reliance.

"We must realise the strategic nature of the technology and assets being built up in aeronautical laboratories. We may import systems to meet our immediate operational requirements. However, imports can never be a permanent solution. DRDO must therefore build long-term capabilities and focus on quality, rather than quantity. It must build up intrinsic design and development capability while developing these systems," AK Antony said.

"We need to have a very strong industrial base. We need manufacturing capability to produce, apart from the electronics, cooling devices, integration systems etc," said Dr VK Saraswat, DG of DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister, while referring to the AEW&C programme.

"Our programs are nurtured and partnered by the armed forces particularly the IAF, the Navaratnas HAL & BEL and national grid of industry and R&D institutions. We are strongly supported by Astra Microwave and Data Patterns for example in the AEW&C programme," said Dr. Dipankar Banerjee.

He said that they were developing a new generation of manned and unmanned combat aircraft, airborne systems for surveillance that will stay aloft for a day to weeks and months at altitudes from 25,000 ft to the stratosphere for wide area, all weather, continuous intelligence coverage to new propulsion systems and avionics, which will provide pilots with all round, all weather awareness of their environment and protection from threats.

"These will bring in a host of technologies from invisibility to radar to intelligent materials that will tell you continuously about the health of the aircraft structure. A whole new set of challenges await the men and women of DRDO, its engineers, administrators, scientists and construction experts," he added.

Dr. Dipankar Banerjee also said that the Karnataka Govt. has recently provided 4200 acres of land at Chitradurga (near the upcoming IISc) for a new aeronautical test range for unmanned air vehicles. Work has already started at this facility and will be ready in the next 3 years.

"The enormous cost and effort that has gone into creation of STIR is not just meant for AEW&C programme. It is generic enough for effective use by future AWACS programmes and can be easily scaled up for any specific requirement," said Dr S Cristopher, Director CABS. "Consequent to sanction of AEW&C programme to CABS in Oct 2004, appropriate infrastructural facilities were quickly raised. Important among them are the AEW&C complex, AEW&C hangar extension, avionics laboratory and finally Ststem Test and Integration Rig (STIR) Complex," he said.

The Defence Minister also inaugurated ‘Digital Flight Control Computer’ manufacturing facility in BEL and handed over a Gun Fire Control System (GFCS) to the Indian Navy. Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) will get an order, valued at Rs 4,279 crore, from the Indian Air Force (IAF) for supply of an additional 750 Akash medium-range surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) for six squadrons. (Each squadron will have 125 missiles.)

DRDO is looking to expand academia-industry partnerships

CHENNAI: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is looking to expand partnerships with academia and industry for design and development of products for the armed forces, A. Sivathanu Pillai, Chief Controller, Research and Development, DRDO, said on Thursday.

Addressing faculty and students of the University of Madras, Guindy campus, Dr. Pillai said partnerships with academia had resulted in the development of several products with sophisticated military applications. According to Dr. Pillai, the technology for about 200 products under the Missile Technology Control Regime had been indigenously developed through three-way partnerships among the DRDO, academia and industry.

He cited as examples the “phase shifter” technology used in real war scenarios developed with IIT-Delhi and the algorithm for a non-parabolic path developed for the surface-to-surface missile Prithvi.

He urged the University of Madras to do a Stanford by building core competencies in niche areas of research. Some of the areas for which the DRDO was seeking collaboration with academia were robotics, smart materials and nano-sciences.

Dr. Pillai also wanted the university to align its research programmes with the national missions in priority areas such as energy, environment, water and healthcare. He advised youth to shed the defeatist mindset of going abroad to pursue careers or higher research. He pointed out that almost 38 per cent of scientists at NASA were from India.

Dr. Pillai stressed the need for creating a conducive environment for research in the country. He assured researchers that funds were not a constraint.

The scientist’s talk on the topic ‘Can Madras University Generate Nobel Laureates in the Coming Years’ was hosted as part of the Promotion of University Research and Scientific Excellence programme support by the Department of Science and Technology. Dr. Pillai later felicitated teachers from various departments on the Guindy campus.

Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam said it was proposed to develop the nano sciences department and set up a common laboratory facility for 17 affiliate varsities. S. Sriman Narayanan, Dean of Research, spoke.

India Stresses Missile Development | AVIATION WEEK


India has become a major consumer, producer and developer of advanced technology. With indigenous defense programs coming to fruition, partnerships with key global contractors, a clever use of offsets (DTI October 2007, p. 22) and billions of dollars slated for procurement, India and its leading scientific agency, the Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO), are becoming world-class players in the development and application of advanced technology.

India has been upgrading its military capabilities in recent years, driven by its growing economy and challenges ranging from border conflicts with Pakistan and China to terrorism. One area in particular, aerospace, is returning major dividends to air, ground and naval forces as measured by advances in force projection, striking power and deterrence.

The DRDO will spend $10 billion over the next seven years on strategic and tactical missiles, including the Astra air-to-air missile, BrahMos supersonic cruise missile (DTI December 2007, p. 17), Akash surface-to-air missile (SAM), Nag antitank guided missile and the Shourya surface-to-surface ballistic missile.

Missile research got a boost when the Defense Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL)—part of DRDO—developed the Akash in the 1990s and added technology upgrades last year that increased its range. The Indian Air Force (IAF) placed an order with government-owned Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) and its partners for two squadrons of Akash SAMs, which have a range of 30 km. (18 mi.). The delivery timeline is 36 months.

“The order will be cleared by 2011,” says Prahlada, chief controller of the DRDO, who uses one name. “This is the first time [an indigenous] SAM for air defense has been ordered. This has also convinced the army to look at Akash.” (An interview with Prahlada appeared in DTI January/February 2006, p. 40.)

A long-range SAM (70 km.) is in the pipeline through a joint development program with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) that started last year. The program involves DRDO labs in Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad. IAI will contribute most of the technology.

Having successfully test-fired the Agni-3 surface-to-surface missile (range 3,000 km.), DRDO is looking at the Agni-5, which has derivative technology for larger payloads and longer range. The Agni-5 will be a solid-fuel ballistic missile with multiple warheads. Two of its three stages will be made of composites. Its range will be over 5,000 km. The first flight-test version is expected by 2010.

The missile is being developed for deterrence, not as an offensive weapon, says V.K. Saraswat, who oversees research and development on missiles and strategic systems at DRDO. “The Agni-3 and Agni-5 will have countermeasures, reentry maneuver capabilities and stealth.”

Sixty percent of Agni-5 subsystems will be similar to those in the Agni-3. The rest of the missile will have advanced technologies such as a locally developed ring-laser gyroscope and accelerometer for navigation and guidance.

The recent test-firing of the new Shourya ballistic missile was another success for DRDO. Shourya, developed for use by the army, is designed to provide a credible second-strike capability. Its range is reportedly 600 km. DRDO has not said if it can carry nuclear warheads, but the missile reportedly has high maneuverability and an anti-missile intercept capability.

DRDO has completed two unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programs, Lakshya and Nishant. It is developing Rustom, a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV that can fly at 9,000 meters (30,000 ft.) for 24 hr., and cover 350 km. (220 mi.) at 225 kph. (140 mph.). Payloads will include electro-optic sensors, synthetic aperture and maritime patrol radar, and electronic and communication intelligence. Rustom will fly in the next two years, Prahlada says.

Meanwhile, the long-delayed Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) will be phased into service in 2012, says Defense Minister A.K. Antony. The first two squadrons will be equipped with the GE F404 engine, which many experts claim is too small for LCA. Plans are to eventually replace the engine (see interview with IAF chief Fali Homi Major, p. 54).



Working prototype of the Zhuk-AE antenna will be on display in a MiG-35 at Aero India.Credit: MIG

India is a major market for Russian arms, so manufacturers are lining up to exhibit at Aero India in Bangalore. Visitors to the show (Feb. 11-15) will have a chance to see the MiG-35 prototype that made its debut there two years ago. This time the aircraft will have a working Zhuk-AE advanced electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, not a mock-up.

The MiG-35 is competing in the IAF tender for 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA). The order, estimated at around $10 billion, could give a significant boost to MiG Corp. The company, recovering from Algeria’s cancellation of MiG-29SMT deliveries, recently received 15 billion rubles (about $456 million) in subsidies from the government, and installed a new CEO, Mikhail Pogosyan, from rival Sukhoi.

Despite the fact that the MiG-35 inherited the airframe of the MiG-29, designers say it will be a new aircraft with 50% greater range and doubled weapons load. The all-dimensional thrust-vector control, demonstrated on a MiG-29OVT prototype, is an option. But the main innovation will be the AESA radar developed by Phazotron-NIIR of Moscow. The Zhuk-AE was developed for the MiG-35. Unlike other Zhuks with slot-array antennas, the AE is a multifunction X-band radar with an active phased-array antenna. It tracks and engages air and ground targets, making the MiG-35 a multirole aircraft.

The radar to be shown in Bangalore has a smaller antenna array than planned for a serial product—600 mm. in diameter and only 680 transmit-receive modules instead of 1,064. More space in the nose is needed to accommodate the larger antenna array. Phazotron will decrease the size of the radar amplifier and other equipment, while MiG reduces the size of subsystems in the nose.

With the current small antenna array, the Zhuk-AE detects enemy fighters at 130-140 km. Increasing diameter and the number of modules boosts detection to 250-280 km.

The final version will be installed in two MiG-35s that are going to India for tests in March 2010. But Indian pilots may test the radar earlier—at Aero India they will have a chance to make a demo flight in the MiG-35 with the Zhuk-AE prototype.


Rafael is supplying the Spyder-SR missile system.Credit: RAFAEL ADVANCED DEFENSE SYSTEMS

In an attempt to win the MMRCA tender, Russian manufacturers are ready to transfer all MiG-35 technologies, including the Zhuk-AE radar, for licensed production in India. According to the tender requirements, the winner will deliver only four assembled aircraft. The others are to be manufactured locally.

India and Israel have also launched high-profile programs. Israel is, in fact, India’s second-largest arms supplier.

Two programs are underway between IAI and India: building the Airborne Early Warning (AEW) platform for the Il-76 (started in 2004), and development of the medium-range SAM system (MRSAM) for the IAF, which began in January. The first phase of the $1.2-billion AEW program covers production of three aircraft (the first is due to be delivered in March 2009). India is considering three more worth about $1.1 billion, or opting for the more compact and efficient Conformal AEW configuration similar to the one used by Israel (DTI September 2008, p. 22) and Singapore.

The $1.4-billion MRSAM program is a derivative of the $480-million naval long-range air-defense system (Barak 8) launched in 2006. Both will provide low-, medium- and high-altitude defense at ranges exceeding 70 km. Unlike command-to-line-of-sight missiles, the new system will engage multiple targets—up to 200—simultaneously.

IAI’s Missile & Space Div. is the prime, and will award about $350 million in subcontracting work to India.

Another contract was for Rafael Advanced Defense Systems’ Spyder-SR (short-range) air-defense system. The $260-million program could lead to as many as four battalions of short- and medium-range missiles.

Spyder uses standard air-to-air missiles (Rafael’s Python 5 and Derby) fired from mobile ground launchers. Fielding the missiles in India opens opportunities for introduction of Rafael’s air-to-air weaponry to the navy and air force. Derby missiles are already used on Indian Sea Harriers, while upgrades could be in the offing for Jaguar and Mirage 2000 fighters. Rafael’s missiles are part of the weapon packages proposed by competitors in the MMRCA program.
