Security upped as Vikrant enters critical testing before sea trials

[Zapper]

As the country’s first Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) Vikrant undergoes engine test for advanced-level basin trials before venturing into the sea for trials by end of 2020, Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) has put in tight security measures including biometric access for staff to prevent a repeat of September 2019 sabotage incident. The probe by National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the stealing of the hardware drives of Integrated Platform Management System (IMPS) from the vessel has so far not yielded any result. But, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) clarified that the stolen parts were certain Commercially Off The shelf hardware items from Multi Function Consoles (MFCs) of the IPMS.

Sources told TNIE that the security parameters at the Shipyard have been revised by implementing additional measures as the aircraft carrier has entered a critical stage of operational protocol before the commencement of sea trials. “Apart from biometric access control, additional force has also been deployed for strengthening the security.

Only key persons will be given access to compartments inside the vessel containing sensitive hardware and softwares,” an official said. A core team comprising Central Industrial Security Force, Intelligence Bureau and Kerala Police is regularly reviewing the security of the shipyard. “Strict monitoring is being done on third party vendors who are associated with various projects,” the official said.


An MoD statement said trials of gas turbines, main engines and power generation systems were conducted successfully. “IAC had successfully completed the pre-contractors sea trials dry dock work package in December 2019. Basin trials are conducted for proving of the propulsion, transmission and shafting systems and is scheduled in early half of 2020. The aircraft carrier would be ready to commence the sea trials once the basin trials are successfully completed,” the statement said.

What is Basin trial?
Basin trial is the testing of the ship’s machinery and equipment in floating conditions before the commencement of sea trials

What is sea trials?
Series of tests are carried out in the sea after final outfitting and launching of the vessel before the formal induction into the Indian Navy

Time for Pakistan to purchase more subs with nuke torpedoes.

And India to induct more Submarine hunter ships to clean under water threat.

Great.......

What!! indians even stole equipment from their own aircraft carrier lol bwhahaha.

Anyways those are sitting ducks without a proper fleet. Easy targets for next 10 years until indian navy has a decent protrction group for ducks like these. All it would take is 1 hypersonic cruise missile.

Please give same advise to China as well...... They are also making easy targets as well... One brahmos missile will be enough.

Lol have u see the protection groups on chinese carriers you cant even dream of coming 400 radius to them.. while indian ducks can be sunk from 800 km away by pakistan armed forces.

Pak navy-- ohh Pls, thank you!

I Am just responding to troll...... If dont know how indian and China navy works then pls dont troll...

If you can additional knowledge then would be appreciable.

For Indian navy, China is a tough container and in case war with China, we will fight in Indian ocean and Indian navy will have the advantage.

Im not here to state forbidden info. But in public knowledge all it takes is 1 hypersonic missile to sink a decently guarded carrier. Indian protection groups are so so easy to bypass. Those are sitting ducks (carriers) until carrier protection groups are made . Which i im sure india is working towards jn next 10 years. But for 10 years a window to sink those things is there for Pakistan Armed forces

India
The navy's new carrier battle group centered on Vikramaditya consists of the modern Kolkata class destroyers, Shivalik and Talwar-class frigates, Kamorta-class anti-submarine warfare corvettes and new tankers. INS Chakra and diesel submarines.

China
At present China's only two aircraft carriers, the modified Kuznetsov-class Liaoning and Shandong, use Type 052C or Type 052D destroyers for air defense, Type 054A frigates for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, 1–2 Type 093 nuclear attack submarines, and 1 Type 901 supply ship

India ==== China
Kolkata class destroyers =====Type 052C or Type 052D destroyers

INS Chakra and diesel submarines.=========1–2 Type 093 nuclear attack submarines,
Kamorta-class anti-submarine warfare corvettes and new tankers.===== Type 054A frigates

-------------------------------
Taking the both naval scenario if Indian aircraft can suck then same China aircraft can suck as well.. Do not find difference in both battle groups.

Both use almost same type of battle group ships with weapons systems... but I am much aware, these are not easy targets as you claim.

Do you really feel the necessity to respond to trolls? Most members here are only there to hijack any and all India related news. It's upto you to get triggered by trolls, heat up the convo and end up getting banned or resort to healthy and constructive debates with appropriate members

We seriously need counter for Chinese type 55.... that's very scary.... btw which fighter jets will be deployed on Vikrant? MIG 29 or naval Tejas?

Mig 29k, during the time but navy wants more better aircraft i.e Rafael M or F 18 types fighters...

Make sure
1. All hatch are closed (INS Arihant)
2. Not anchored next to INS Sindhurakshak

No trolling, just sincere advice

It’s no doubt that India is a superpower already.
China is so scared, and have to put more attention to USA...
