Artillery and missile systems
[edit]
Anti-tank missile FGM-148 Javelin is on order from the USA under Foreign Military Sales. India will buy some of the
systems off-the-shelf, while a much larger number will be indigenously manufactured under licensed production. While the exact number of Javelin systems to be inducted is yet to be decided, it could be more than 60,000. The Army has a shortfall of around 44,000 ATGMs. [59] The plan to go in for the American FGM-148 Javelin ATGMs has "virtually been shelved" because of Washington's reluctance to provide full military knowhow – licensed "transfer of technology (ToT) – to allow India to indigenously manufacture the "tank k illers in large numbers after an initial off-the-shelf purchase. [60] Under the Field Artillery Rationalization Plan, Indian Army plans to procure 3000 to 4000 155 mm towed, wheeled and tracked artillery systems. [citation needed ] The requirement for artillery guns to be met with indigenous development and production. [61] Production of crucial bi-modular charge system will be started soon at Nalanda ordnance factory. HEMRL, a DRDO lab has developed the technology indigenously. [62] Shaurya Prahaar Agni-IV Agni-V – Intercontinental version of the Agni missile system. The missile was test fired for the first time on 19 April 2012 and is expected to be inducted by 2014–15.
Infantry equipment
[edit]
A deal worth $5.75 million was signed with M/S B&T Switzerland for the acquisition of 1,568 advanced sub-machine guns for the Ghatak Platoons of Infantry Battalions [63] Modern Sub Machine Carbine- to replace the Indian sterling sub machine gun clones . [64] Futuristic In fantry Soldier As a System (F-INSAS) is the Indian Army's
principal modernisation program from 2012 to 2020. In the first phase, to be completed by 2012,the infantry soldiers will be equipped with modular weapon systems that will have multi-functions. The Indian Army intends to modernise its entire 465 infantry and paramilitary battalions by 2020 with this program. Indian Army has requirement for 300,000 modular body armour and ballistic helmets primarily for their Infantry regiments. RFI's have been issued. 1000 Anti materiel rifles are to acquired for which global RFI's have been issued by the MOD. Army has issued RFI's for multi-caliber assault rifles probably to be used as the weapon system in the F-INSAS program.
The TATA Groups contribution to FINSAS.
Indian army is looking for a heavy machine gun, RFIs for a new HMG have been sent to agencies that include Rosoboronexport for the Degtyarev Kord 12.7mm HMG, General Dynamics for the still in-development M806 HMG and also the Browning M2E50 [65]
Aviation
[edit]
Light Utility Helicopter : The Indian army has projected a requirement for up to 197 light helicopters to replace its
ageing fleet of Chetaks and Cheetahs. The Indian Army chose theEurocopter AS 550 under a US$550 million contract in summer of 2007. Under this contract 60 helicopters were to be supplied from Eurocopter in fly-away condition and the rest were to be assembled by HAL in India. This order was later scrapped due to allegations of unfair field trials from competing company Bell Helicopters. [66][67] Five global helicopter majors are in the fray to sell India 197 multi-role, light helicopters, in a deal worth 30 billion (US$549.0 million). Eurocopter AS550 Fennec; Kamov Ka-226, Agusta A109 Power or A119 Koala and McDonnell
Douglas Helicopter Systems (MD 520N) have been given time till 19 December 2008 to submit proposals. Weighing less than three tonnes when armed, these multi-role, light turbine helicopters will replace the 1970s vintage Chetak and Cheetah helicopters operated by the Army Aviation Corps and the Air Force. They will undertake tasks such as reconnaissance and observation, casualty evacuation, electronic warfare, escort duties , anti-insurgency operations and ferrying personnel to and from the battlefield. Of the 197 helicopters, which are to be bought in a fly away condition and via knock down kits, 133 are for the Army, while 64 will be delivered to the Air Force. The helicopter deal is part of a mega modernisation programme which will see the Army eventually receiving 197 helicopters and the Indian Air Force getting 188. The deal also includes an offset clause, under which the successful vendor must source defence-related goods and services to the value of 50 per cent of the deal from Indian companies. The process – including discussions on offset proposals, technical evaluation, short-listing by the Defence Ministry, hot weather and winter trails – is expected to be completed by the middle of 2010. [68] Light Combat Helicopter : The LCH is a derivative of the HAL Dhruv, which was inducted into the Indian armed forces.
Using a successful and proven helicopter as the base platform is expected to conserve the project costs for the LCH, which is pegged at 3.76 billion (US$68.8 million). [citation needed ] The HAL Dhruv weaponised version (WSI) is also being inducted in the Indian Army. [citation needed ] The LCH was expected to be ready for the Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) by December 2010 with the Final Operational Clearance (FOC) in 2011. However, the revised timeframes hold that the 5.5-tonne LCH should be ready for induction into IAF by 2012–2013. [69] The first prototype of LCH completed its first ground run on 4 February. [when?][70] HAL has a firm order to deliver 65 LCH to the IAF and 114 to the Army. [71]
