Sridhar,

I'm not proposing water jets. I'm proposing nothing.
The question is simple - What makes it stealthy(apart from batteries) ?

 

[Sridhar]

It has got water jet propulsion check my news post above. Other than that its smaller size and slower speed may give the required stealth.

 

[jackfoster220]

It is a dead project.

Fire mishap on INS Sindhurakshak due to explosion in battery: Navy

Press Trust Of India
New Delhi, February 27, 2010
First Published: 11:20 IST(27/2/2010)
Last Updated: 11:24 IST(27/2/2010)
The fire mishap on INS Sindhurakshak in Visakhapatnam that left a sailor dead and two others injured was caused by an explosion in its battery compartment, Navy officials said in New Delhi on Saturday.
Sindhurakshak, a Russian-origin Kilo class submarine, was in the Visakhapatnam harbour for a routine maintenance when the mishap occurred on Friday evening.
"It was due to a defective battery and Leading Electrical Technician Kump Dand was killed," the official said.
India had bought the 2300-tonne submarine from Russia as part of an early 1980s deal and commissioned it in 1997. It
is the ninth of the 10 Sindhugosh class diesel-electric powered vessel that the Navy has in its 16-vessel submarine
fleet.
Sindhurakshak is scheduled for a major mid-life refit later this year as part of a programme for this class of
vessels which began in 1997 with Sindhuvir.
In January 2008, another vessel from this class, INS Sindhugosh, collided with a merchant vessel off Mumbai while
participating in a naval exercise.
The boat collided with the cargo ship as it was surfacing in a silent mode with its radio and radar switched
off.
The damage caused to the submarine during the mishap resulted in it being off service for about a month.

Indian Navy to upgrade logistics management system

New Delhi: Indian Navy is planning to upgrade the existing Integrated Logistics Management System (ILMS) to ILMS Version 2.0 across the country.
The ILMS Version 2.0 is planned to be an enhancement of the existing version and will support provisioning, procurement, warehousing, bill processing and audit to strengthen material management processes.

The new application will help in managing material management functions of Indian Navy at six depots and 250 ships/establishments spread across the country.
The project would involve implementation and maintenance of ERP solution across all depots, ships and establishments.

The ILMS project includes system software, application software, customisation, training, hardware supply, implementation, commissioning and maintenance support.
The ILMS project's ERP will also integrate with business intelligence, analytics, management information system, decision support system to meet the requirements of depots and ship/establishments.
Plans are to also integrate Ship Logistics Management System (SLMS) with ILMS Version 2.0.
The present ILMS was implemented in December, 1997 across five depots at Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Kochi, Karwar, Port Blair and Delhi for logistics and material management functions. It started with 200 users and presently supports 1,400 users on a daily basis.

NorthropGrumman Tells Indian Navy NRUAV Not Mature, Buy FireScout Instead

Northrop-Grumman has made multiple presentations to the Indian Navy explaining why the IAI-HAL Naval Rotory UAV (NRUAV) based on the Chetak airframe is a bad idea. Remember, the NRUAV is a programme that has considerable Indian investment, not to mention a fully Indian-built helicopter airframe. I heard from a couple of my sources in the Navy that the Americans were making a powerful pitch against the NRUAV, so I sent NG an e-mail a few days ago.

Mike Fuqua, Northrop's Business Development Director (Tactical Unmanned Systems) replied, "Northrop Grumman is aware of the initiative announced by the Indian Government regarding NRUAV. However, we are convinced that once the issues of complexity, capability, maturity and reliability are evaluated, the Indian Navy will recognize that Fire Scout will provide the best, most cost effective, and most rapid VTUAV capability for their forces at sea."

The NRUAV is currently in its trial stage, and is still some way off from sea trials. However, the Indian Navy has fully backed the programme and has invested in it as well. At the same time, Fuqua said, "The Indian Navy has shown interest in the Fire Scout VTUAV and Northrop Grumman has been engaged with the Indian Navy to discuss capabilities. We have provided briefings and answered questions from the highest level of the Indian Navy, at their request."
