Indian Navy issues RFI for CIWS

[Abingdonboy]

4 P15B (2 systems each), 7 P17A (2 systems each), 1 IAC (3 systems) > 8+14+3=25

This 25 is purely an initial order, whatever CIWS is selected will become the standard (gun) CIWS for the entire IN going foreword so the IN's future/planned IACs, LPDs, tankers etc will all be outfitted with this new generation of CIWS.

So? Where does it say so?

Sorry, say what?

Incidentally, I think India also operates Flycatcher with land forces.

And was incorporating it into some of its domestic SAM vehicles (Trishul missile)

Bharat manufactures the Signaal Flycatcher land FCS radar It is being used for initial tests of the Trishul missile

Where did that info come from, how does it detract from my idea of where the 25 systems will go?

What I said doesn't detract at all from your ideas at all sir.

I think a missile based CIWS like FL-3000N which arms all latest Chinese warships should be pursued.

I was wondering when China will offer us the J-20.

 

[Penguin]

I would hardly expect India to purchase key defence systems from China.

Vikhr-k? Doesn't that use an antitank missile? AT-16 Scallion?

SeaRAM

Another possible Russian system: Naval Pantsir

That's Rafael's Typhoon 30mm gun in it's latest version, on offer via Pipavav

Millenium

I think it is not only ruled out because of the caliber, but also because Rheinmetall air defence is (afaik) still black listed.

I think it is not only ruled out because of the caliber, but also because Rheinmetall air defence is (afaik) still black listed.

Indeed that was the BEA Systems Next Generation Mk 38 Gun Mount, the Mk 38 Mod 3. Mk 38 is the American designation for Rafael’s Typhoon gun system.

As for Millenium, I noted the specification rules it out, without speculating on the reasons behind the caliber specification. It also means 40mm systems are excluded e.g. Italian Oto Melara Dardo with twin Breda 40mm cannon, and the Swedish Bofors 40mm Mk4 and 57mm Mk3 (both also via BEA Systems). Air burst capabilities permit the engagement of concealed targets, small, fast-maneuvering naval craft as well as anti-ship cruise missile. It also rules out Oto 76mm Strales/Davide, at least in CIWS role.

Wonder is Sea Zenith (tilted quad 25mm KBB cannon) is still marketed, or Myriad (tilted twin 25mm gatlings). All Oerlikon Contraves products.
