This is for the Amca project.

The HD stands for high definition. Besides functioning as maws, it will also improve the situational awareness of the pilot. He can see through the floor of the cockpit. See everything that's going on around him .

But the pic for representation by alpha is of eots na
Just to avoid confusion
Coz das more or less advanced version of maws

 

[johnj]

What's scope of putting Prachand or Rudra-like attack helis on various OPV or Corvette style vessels here ? I mean for attacking nearby shore-based threats and all

HUGE
IN new MH-60R "Romeo" comes with hellfire missile, its like naval Rudra with helina
Ah1z naval attack helicopter is like naval prachand

Ig they are planning to display such situational awareness on screen but it's would be better if they could develop a helmet for it

Ah1z naval attack helicopter is like naval prachand

I see, then I wonder if IN would ever look at Prachand or Rudra forks (naval variants with folding blades and rear tail section maybe?) for these kind of roles in future...
MH-60R is nice but it's a big utility, general purpose 'jack-ov-all' type heli - but having a Prachand-N with dhrvastra, rockets and that 20mm gun would be far better combo for an attack heli for offshore targets me thinks

I'm interested in this because russia and china made efforts in this direction, even though it didn't see some adoption in their navies...
ruusis made a dedicated naval variant of their Ka-52 called Ka-52K

due to lack of interest by ruusi navy they didn't show some adoption, then there were rumours that chinese were interested in these and put a quote for 36 some of them for delivery
not sure if the deal was made and so; but it shows that others are considering over putting an attack heli on their naval vessels,
what about us in all this ?

''see through floor '' - its like F35 helmet vision

IN considering acquiring 4 LHDs

 

[ezsasa]

105mm ??
may be- 155mm Towed Gun System, mainstay of Artillery forces, + ammunitions under iddm, atags + ammunitions

my bad, had forgotten that replacing 1800 IFG was part of FARP.
post corrected.

ADE spent hundreds of crores and ten years but failed in Tapas. Now it wants a pvt Co to do their job in 5 month

This will only be useful if we develop an actual concept of amphibious warfare (currently lacking, we have a few ships but not very practical).
Might happen once we get LHDs

Hundreds of crores is peanuts compared to how much other countries spend on their military programs without worrying much of it's outcome

I understand, but in absence of that maybe we could put it on small tonnage boats like Corvettes and so, in association with landing crafts these could give a work-able amphibious warfare group for starters?

Hmm. Would they be survivable and would single/double hlis be a potent attack force?

Yes , its the F-35 EOTS.

First pic of INS Vikrant with MFSTAR installed.

In the back, the LRMFR of INS Anvesh can be seen.

Long range multi function radar is a S band aesa radar meant primarily for the developement of phase 2 BMD interceptors. INS Anvesh is primarily meant for PGAD.

Some people really believed j16 would be limited to A2G ground role while j11 will be the one doing A2A fights.
Here is j16 with 10 AAMs and a freakin 1700+ trms AESA a composite airframe and RAM coatings.
Better and longer range AAMs.
These will eat the MKIs for breakfast.
