Indian Navy fights with an ageing submarine fleet | idrw.org

The incident on board the Sindhurakshak is considered to be a big blow for the Indian Navy, considering the ageing fleet of submarines that the Navy operates with. The current condition is such that it very difficult or rather nearly impossible to have all the submarines in fully operational condition.

Naval officials said most of the existing fleet of Indian submarines were brought in the late 80's and are on the verge of being decommissioned. In 1999, the Cabinet Committee on Security had worked out a 30-year plan to build submarines for the navy.

According to the envisaged plan, 12 new submarines were to be inducted to the navy by 2012, and was to be supplemented with 12 more submarines by 2030. But the navy which soon went out of favour of the government's priority, coupled with red tape has seen that the Navy has not received a single new submarine since it commissioned INS Sindhurashtra in 2000.

The explosion on INS Sindhurakshak has made the alarm bells ring as the Scorpene project has been running way beyond schedule, and the Navy would soon have to retire its 10 Kilo class Russian and four German HDW submarines in a phased manner. Also the Rs.50,000 crore P-75I is yet to be approved, and would take at least another 12 years for the first submarine to be built, said sources in the Navy.

A senior navy officer, requesting anonymity said, "There are chances that India will have to operate with about six submarines by 2020." This figure is way less to the near 18 submarines that the Indian Navy needs to act as a deterrent to the ever growing naval capabilities of both China and Pakistan.

L&T pioneers torpedo-tube AUV, Navy interested

The Indian Navy is now keenly tracking an advanced programme unveiled at the recently concluded Defexpo event: the Adamya autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed and built in-house by L&T Heavy Engineering. While the navy has a stated requirement for AUVs, the Adamya has caught its attention for a reason. According to L&T, "Adamya is the next step into the world of unmanned naval warfare and coastal defence. Its unique design allows it to be launched from the torpedo tube of a submarine—a pioneering feat globally." L&T has highlighted several features on the Adamya to the Navy, including the fact that the vehicle's modular design and depth-rated shells enable mission customisation as per the Navy's needs without having to resort to pressure-proofing of the internal electronic systems. Other qualities include short turnaround time and ability to be air-shipped conveniently. The Adamya is being pitched for naval applications that include hydrographic survey (the Hydrography Dept. incidentally is also looking for AUVs), mine countermeasures, intelligence- surveillance-reconnaissance (ISR), offshore survey, clandestine monitoring, environmental monitoring and optional anti- submarine warfare. The 18.7 feet, 850 kg platform sports an endurance of 8 hours at 4 knots (with maximum forward speed of 6 knots) with a customisable depth rating of 500 metres.

No decision yet on Naval station at Vizhinjam

Nod awaited from Ministry of Defence

A waiting game on part of the officials of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is holding up a key project for the Navy and an economic win-win situation for Kerala.

The Navy is keen to carve out a base with 500 m of berthing space within the proposed Vizhinjam port, for which it received in-principle approval from the State government for development on a cost-sharing basis in March last year. The MoD has been dragging its feet on granting clearance and is unlikely to do so now in view of the imminent Lok Sabha polls, sources say................................................................................................

INS Saryu completes anti-piracy run within warranty period

KOLKATA: It may not be the best of times for the Indian Navy but there have been achievements over the last year that it can seek some solace in. Take the case of the INS Saryu, an Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) based at Port Blair under the Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) for instance. It set sail for the Gulf of Aden in 2013 for anti-piracy operations within months of commissioning.

"This was the first ever ship of the Indian Navy to have participated in anti-piracy operations while still under warranty. It is one of a new class of ships, designed and built in India by the Goa Shipyard Ltd. It was commissioned in January, 2013. Trials were completed in May, 2013. Immediately after this, it went for surveillance operations to the southern group of islands. This lasted for 20 days. A few months later, we set sail for the Gulf of Aden," said Commodore Amanpreet Singh, the commissioning captain of INS Saryu.
