Light Strike Vehicle RFI

[abingdonboy]

Any updates on the LSV (light strike vehicle) buy for the IA's SFs? It's depressing to 1.2 litre Gypsies being used in this role as they are currently.

Otokar Cobra is also a nice vehicle, comes with amphibious kit as well, can be kitted with Anti tank missiles, HMGs, 20mm canons etc.

I think seems like the best we can get for SF units, I think over all its the best we can get off the shelf and offcourse pimp it up for rougher Indian conditions.

I checked COBRA's specification. What's wrong with it why army has not selected it for trial? Any idea?

Cobra manufactured by turks, When a RFI is launched companies from the globe submit there proposals ..

Turks did not did so, Hence not part of the tender ..

There has been no RFP till date. To create a final requirement several RFIs can be called, without calling for an RFP. Only RFIs had been called in this project and the 2008 trials were most likely demo trials.

I know about the demo which is prevalent in army in case of most of the product but can you enlighten me more about demo trials are they suppose to be such extensive as in case of lsv?if they were demo trials they were done in 2008 now is 2014 is such a long gap normal?I mean would there be trial again after rfp or just the lowest bidder among all of them would be chosen after they submit their proposals.

Demo trials can be extensive as well. many manufacturers send their products to the prospective users for Demo so that their feedbacks can be incorporated before the actual procurement. Demos also enable the user to create realistic requirements. After Demos, RFIs and other inquiries, some departments prepare a state of the art or a similar report about the industry/product segment. Based on that, and operational requirements, qualitative requirements are generated resulting in an RFP. RFP has two parts, technical proposal and commercial proposal. The technical bid is qualified via trials and have to be cleared by a technical evaluation committee (TEC). The commercial bids are opened only for those proposals who have cleared TEC evaluations, following which L1 is cleared for further negotiations.

[arnabmit]

Kalyani Garuda 105mm sub-ton ultra-light field gun, can be mounted on the chosen LSV platform from the below:

This could be an invaluable asset for the mountains and for strike corps!

@Kunal Biswas do you think they can be made to take up anti-armor role in direct-fire mode, if required?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

If i am not mistaking, Its range is lesser than 80mm motar ..

It would have been logical if they mounted a Infantry motar on LSV ..

 

[arnabmit]

Sir, isn't the range of 81mm LR mortar 8km and that of the LFG/IFG is 18km?

The Garuda is an upgraded version of the LFG/IFG with soft-recoil, FCS and range.
