Final nod soon for Navy’s advanced stealth frigate

India’s largest ever indigenous defence contract is shortly expected to get final approval with the Navy freezing the design and specifications for the P 17 A stealth warships and completing all commercial negotiations for the project.

Top Navy designers who have been working on the project have confirmed that the project is expected to get final clearances from the Cabinet Committee of Security (CCS) shortly after which construction of seven modern warships will commence at shipyards in Kolkata and Mumbai.

The mega project, that was expected to be worth Rs 45,000 crore when it was cleared by the Defence Acquisition Committee (DAC) in 2009, is billed as a game changer for the Indian ship-building industry not only for being the most expensive Indian warship yet but also because it will give shipyards the critical technology of modular construction that enables a rapid production rate.

The Navy’s top ship designer, the Director General of Naval Design Rear Admiral A K Saxena, said Friday the P 17 A class frigates would be in the 6,700-ton category and would have the latest in stealth features, including fully concealed weapon systems and sensors.

“The warships will have the latest stealth features as well as advanced indigenous weapon systems. The modular construction methodology that GRSE (Kolkata) and MDL (Mumbai) have acquired will ensure the warships will be built in a reduced time-frame,” a senior Navy officer said. While GRSE will construct three ships, four will be constructed by MDL.

The new generation warships, which will be based on the P 17 ‘Shivalik’ class that has already been inducted but will be larger at 149 metre with a draught of 5.3 metre, are currently running behind schedule by at least two years.

As per the original plan approved by the Defence Ministry in 2009, the shipyards were to commence production by 2011 after the two shipyards had absorbed modular construction technology. The last of the seven frigates were to be inducted by 2021.

The frigates are expected to be equipped with the latest version of the Brahmos missile, possibly the hypersonic variant if developed on time.

Complete the Kolkatas first,which have been in waters for god knows how many years。:azn:
 
After the nod the stocks of Isreali defence firms will shoot up, because of the $10 bill they will be supplying $9 bill of equipment. All missiles, sonars, electronics will be imported and so will be the steel. Value addition from India will come in form of basic welding and putting foreign kits together.

:rofl: dude what are u smoking ? india produce own warship grade steel now ,hack we even used our own steel in aircraft carrier. as the article says it will use , brahmosh , maybe nirbhay in future both indian , sonar will be indian , you can see wiki for it , most of the electronic will be indian too , maybe few ASEA radars will be come from isreal, get a life or prove your words by posting some links.

C'mon man give India some credit beside some basic welding and painting :lol:, at least the ship look stealthy to me, I hope the artistic sketch is done by Indians.

Bro Indian shipyars import 80% of their equipment. From engines to almost all radars and missiles. Indian contribution is bare minimum. Accept it.

Regarding engines,how many countries have Marine Gas Turbines ??
Is Brahmos a foreign missile,and is the SONAR,EW suite,weapons control radar and fire control radar foreign??

Lol bro I am engineer and have worked in the industry and know how it works. All these licensed production is basically assembling of foreign kits and nothing else. Except for Nirbhay and the steel is there anything that is developed in India.
 
@acetophenol thanks bro,and add to that

Hull Mounted Sonar Advanced (HUMSA)

HUMSA is the enhanced version of the state-of-the-art Hull Mounted Panoramic Sonar designed for the Indian Navy in the nineties. This family of medium range active-cum-passive dual band sonars, optimised for both shallow and deep-water operations has proved its efficacy even in the highly variable tropical waters for more than a decade. HUMSA's advanced signal processing techniques are responsible for its superior performance. The sonar uses multiple transmission modes for short and long-range surveillance. It also provides selective sector illumination to minimize interference in case of multi ship operation. The sonar can be factory-tuned to operate at any frequency. It can be configured for dual or single operator mode and hence can be fitted in ships of various tonnages. A built-in signal simulator enables the performance evaluation before sea going and also provides operator training and confidence building. The sonar can be supplied with wide range of cylindrical transducers to meet the specific requirements

HUMSA NG is a technology upgrade of HUMSA with lower frequency transducers and state-of-the art electronics containing POWER PC processors and SHARC signal processing boards.
