HWT = high altitude Wind tunnel... not hyperso...

from my side, add FTB also to the list.. some maritime c295 for navy ,

HWT in the tweet is for Heavy Weight Torpedo

Selling to larpers is a better strategy than waiting for orders from the Army.

Getting plenty of orders from army,navy j&k police I don't know if airforce has ever been seen with Armasen gear

You can buy from Armasen idk if they sell to civilians but it's available on their website with a price.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has surpassed Rs 1 lakh crore in procurement through the Government e-Market (GeM) portal, with nearly half of the transactions occurring in the current fiscal year.

AON given for:

1- New generation of Anti-tank mines having seismic sensor and provision of remote deactivation.
2- Procurement of Canister Launched Anti-Armour Loiter Munition System.
3- Procurement of Air Defence Tactical Control Radar
4- Procurement of Medium Range Maritime Reconnaissance and Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft.
5- Procurement of Active Towed Array Sonar .
6- Procurement of Heavy Weight Torpedoes for enhancing the attacking capabilities of Kalvari Class submarines.
7- Follow On Support (FOS) and Repair Replenishment support through Follow On Supply Support (FOSS) for 24 MH60R aircraft under Foreign Military Sale route with the US Government.
8- Procurement of Flight Refueller Aircraft.
9- Procurement of Software Defined Radios for the ICG

The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), under the chairmanship of Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh, accorded approval for Acceptance of Necessity (AoNs) for various capital acquisition proposals amounting to Rs 84,560 crore. In the true spirit of ‘Aatmanirbharta’, the approvals accorded on February 16, 2024 lay special emphasis on procurement of various equipment from Indian vendors.

The DAC has accorded AoN under Buy {Indian-Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured (IDDM)} category for procurement of a new generation of Anti-tank mines having seismic sensor and provision of remote deactivation with additional safety features. In order to enhance the operational efficiency and domination in the Tactical Battle Area for engaging targets that are Beyond Visual Line of Sight by the Mechanised Forces, the AoN under Buy (Indian-IDDM) category has been accorded for procurement of Canister Launched Anti-Armour Loiter Munition System.

Further, to strengthen the Air Defence Systems, especially the capabilities to detect slow, small and low-flying targets as well as surveillance, detection & tracking of different targets, the AoN has been accorded for procurement of Air Defence Tactical Control Radar under Buy (Indian-IDDM) category.

The AoN for procurement of Medium Range Maritime Reconnaissance and Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft, through Buy and Make category, has been granted by the DAC for strengthening the surveillance and interdiction capabilities of the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) over the country’s vast maritime area.

Further, to keep the Indian Naval Ships one step ahead of the threats posed by the adversaries, the AoN under Buy (Indian) category has been accorded for procurement of Active Towed Array Sonar having capabilities to operate at low frequencies and various depths for long range detections of adversary submarines. The AoN has also been accorded for procurement of Heavy Weight Torpedoes for enhancing the attacking capabilities of Kalvari Class submarines. The AoN for sustainment support through Follow On Support (FOS) and Repair Replenishment support through Follow On Supply Support (FOSS) for 24 MH60R aircraft under Foreign Military Sale route with the US Government has also been accorded.

The DAC accorded AoN for procurement of Flight Refueller Aircraft for enhancing the operational capabilities and reach of the Indian Air Force. The AoN under Buy (Indian-IDDM) category for procurement of Software Defined Radios for the ICG has also been granted. This will fulfill the requirement of the ICG for having a high-speed communication with secure networking capability for seamless information exchange between the ICG and the Indian Navy units.

To create a friendly defence start-up ecosystem and promote procurement of Advanced technologies from start-ups and MSMEs developed under the Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) and Technology Development Fund schemes, the DAC has approved amendments in the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020 w.r.t. benchmarking and cost computation, payment schedule, procurement quantity etc. This will provide the much-needed incentive along with a supportive business environment for the start-ups and MSMEs under iDEX and TDF schemes, truly in the spirit of ‘Ease of Doing Business’.

15x MPA for 29,000 crores.

Am not being able to digest above price tag. So did my own little research.

We bought 56× Airbus C-295 for INR 21,935 crore... Approx 391 crores a piece... let's say bcoz of INR losing in value vs USD and inflation over the yrs... by the time deal is inked the price of the C-295 reaches 500 crores in INR.

500 * 15 is still 7500 crore.

Now the sensors... the most widely used airborne maritime surveillance radar today is Leonardo seaspray 7500E which costs approx $9 million a piece

9 * 15 = 135 million... or 1100 crores approx

Let's keep another 3000 crores for Electro optical sensors, MAWS, RWR, Magnetic anomaly detectors, sonobuoys, torpedoes etc...

With very difficultly(over estimating prices of individual items)... the cost of above all adds to 13000 crores...

So where's the remaining 16,000 crores going?

You are looking at direct purchase here.
What about tenders?

Why are you taking only 15 aircraft in calculation?

So no itcm and netra mk1a

 

[Chinmoy]

It's in the news item that 15 aircraft are being sought.

Ok.

The 22,000 Cr was for IAF transport fleet.

But IN and ICG, it would undergo changes in sensor package which you yourself mentioned. These sensors in all probability is from indigenous source. So basically Airbus would be charging you additionally for consultation, modification and testing to be done.

But this is AON approval which means MoD has earmarked 29,000 Cr for the project. In case like this, if your requirement is for 100 rs, you generally quote 300 rs and gets an approval for 200rs.

 

[Chinmoy]

So no itcm and netra mk1a

These are capital acquisition projects.
Where is Netra Mk1A for acquisition?

Ig there were reports of itcm and netra mk1a being cleared by dac this week
