Highlights Of Aero India 2013 Expo

TRISHUL: Highlights Of Aero India 2013 Expo
The SAR sensor for the subsonic long-range Nirbhay cruise missile is also on display.

Posted below is the latest design configuration of the Rustom-2 MALE-UAV.

Although Aero India is an aerospace exhibition, this did not prevent companies like the MoD-owned Mazagon Docks Ltd (MDL) from exhibiting its products and services. It can now be confirmed that user's sea trials of the first of three Project 15A DDGs will get underway at last this March, and its commissioning ceremony will takeplace anytime between this May and August. Meanwhile, bulk-fabrication ofmodules for the first of four Project 15B DDGs is now well underway.
Below is the definitive design configuration of the Indian Navy's GSAT-7 fleet communications satellite.

Below are two posters from TATAPower SED regarding its air-defence artillery business successes.


Although the 'Swathi' weapons locating radar (below) has successfully completed its user-trials, BEL hasyet to receive a formal production contract for 28 units, since the Indian Army now wants to mount this WLR on a new 8 x 8 truck, insteadof the existing TATRA 8 x 8.

Posted below is the DRDO's integrated radar-cum-EW systems testing range at Chitraguda.

A new smaller X-band RF-seeker (below) is now being developed for the air-launched version of BrahMos-1 supersonic land-attack cruise missile.

Posted below is all relevant data on the WRCE engine for futuristic DRDO-developed UAVs.

Below is the antenna-array design of the Ashwin AESA-based low-level 'gapfiller'radar now being developed by LRDE.

Below is the cannisterised twin-launcher meant for the MBDA-built PARS-3LR ATGM, which has been designed and fabricated indigenously by anIndia-based SME. This launcher, if selected, will go onboard the Rudra helicopter-gunship.

Below is the panoramic commander's sightmeant for use by the NAMICA vehicle. The sight has been designedand developed by VEM Industries PvtLtd. VEM has also fabricated the PDVexo-atmospheric interceptor's Ka-band RF seeker(see below).


Meanwhile, Bharat Forge Ltd, the flagship company, of India's Kalyani Group, and Elbit Systems Land and C4I Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Israel's Elbit Systems Ltd, on February 7, 2013 announced a strategic cooperation under which a new Joint Venture Company (JVC) will be established, to address India's Ministry of Defence and otherpotential Indian government customers' requirements for the most advanced artillery and mortars systems solutions.The JVC will offer solutions in the field artillery howitzer and mortars segment based on Elbit Systems' cutting edge technologically advanced products operationally usedworldwide, such asthe ATHOS 155/52Towed Gun System, the ATMOS 155/52 Mounted Gun System and the upgraded 130mm M-46 to a 155/45 howitzer (Project KARAN). The JVC will also role out a range of futuristic products like the Advanced Indian Gun System. The JVC will bring together Elbit Systems' cutting edge technology and system integration capabilities and Bharat Forge's advanced capabilities in the areas of design, engineering, manufacturing, testing and validation. "The Strategic Cooperation between Elbit Systems and Bharat Forge, and specifically the JVC,will address Indian defence requirements with operationally proven systems from Elbit Systemsthat have been customised and adapted for Indianconditions and manufactured at the world-class manufacturing facility for end-to–end solutions for artillery systems and armoured vehicles upgrades established by Bharat Forge recently in India," said Baba Kalyani, Chairman and Managing Director of Bharat Forge Ltd. Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, Elbit Systems' Executive Vice President – President and CEO Designee, and formerly General Manager of Elbit Systems Land and C4I Division, noted:"We are proud to combine Bharat Forge's systems integration and manufacturing expertise with Elbit Systems' proven technology. We believe that offering innovative solutions, based on our combined vast operational experience and technological capabilities will position the JVC as a leading supplier to India's Ministry of Defence and other potential Indian government customers".
Posted below are other brief updates:
1) The HTT-40 basic turboprop trainer's (BTT), full-scale mock-up that is being displayed by HAL has tandem-seat glass cockpits supplied by HALBIT Avionics and HAL intends touse the Pratt & Whitney Canada-built PT6 engine. However, the CAS of the IAF this afternoon publicly stated that the IAF has no need or requirement for the HTT-40.
2) The SR-SAM project, although running behind schedule by six years (due to the DRDO's pool of scientists and engineers being pre-occupied with the Barak-2 LR-SAM project since 2006), is expected to gain some steam later this year. The SR-SAM will have a maximum range of 25km.
3) Selection of vendors for supplying various EW sub-systems for the Tejas Mk2 MRCA will take place by this October.
4) Powerplant for the HAL-developed LUH will be the Turbomeca-developed Ardiden-1U.

Aero India 2013: Elbit unveils marinised Hermes 900 for Indian Navy requirement

Israeli company Elbit showcased a new maritime patrol mission suite for its Hermes 900 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at the Aero India Airshow 2013 in Bangalore.

Images of the Hermes 900 on the Elbit stand at Yelahanka airbase showed it deploying life rafts and equipped with a maritime patrol radar suite featuring the Selex Galileo Gabianno T200 X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR).

The set-up takes advantage of the Hermes 900"²s 350 kg payload. As well as the SAR, payloads include an automatic identification system (AIS), an electro-optical multisensor payload, and electronic surveillance systems. Elbit said in a release that it also has "redundant line-of-sight and satellite communications [SATCOM] links and radio relay, enabling the operator to 'talk through' to vessels at sea".

The SATCOM link would enable the aircraft to be operated at low altitudes at extended ranges, allowing it, for example, to fly beneath the cloud base at long distances offshore.

Ran Tavor, vice-president of Asia-Pacific and CIS business at Elbit, told IHS Jane's on 6 February that developing the Hermes 900"²s maritime mission suite involved embedding parts of a naval C4I network in the system's ground control stations (GCS).
