Y los suecos ofrecen a la India una version avanzada del SAAB 2000 MPA con radar AESA y el misil RBS-15.

The Saab 2000 multi-role Maritime Patrol Aircraft equipped with the fifth generation AESA and RBS-15 Anti-Ship missiles is being offered to the Indian Navy to meet the growing challenges in India's maritime domain stretching across 2 million square km. Combining endurance with capability, the Saab 2000 is an ideal partner for the Indian Navy's requirement of an aircraft with long range, extended time on station, fast response, long service life and anti surface warfare capabilities.

The Saab 2000 MPA is a high performer providing lot of operational flexibilities for various operation scenarios.

The Saab 2000 MPA has a cruising speed of 350 knots, it can climb to an altitude of 20,000 ft in 10 minutes, reaching operating area 1,000 nautical miles afar within three hours. It can operate from high altitude airfields, taking off with maximum load and fuel even at very hot temperatures. Flight safety is maintained throughout all flight conditions, including single engine operations, where the aircraft can maintain altitude at 20,000 ft.

The Saab 2000 MPA can operate at a maximum range exceeding 2000 nautical miles, with mission endurance exceeding 9.5 hours.

The Saab 2000 MPA can carry out a mission covering a 200 nm Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for 5.5 hours at an altitude of 2,000 ft, or longer patrol times at higher altitudes even up to 31000 ft. The aircraft on offer comes with promised 35,000 flight hours and a guaranteed support for 25 years by SAAB. The Saab 2000 MPA comes equipped with Saab RBS15 anti-ship missile system. Its unique Command & Control (C2) system facilitates a seamless planning of missile launching zones, trajectories and target seeking activities.

The missile launching sequence and priming are controlled by customized Store Management Unit. Saab 2000 MPA which is being offered for India's Medium Range Maritime Reconnaissance (MRMR) program will be equipped with the state-of-art Selex Fifth Generation AESA radar and RBS-15 Anti Ship Missile.

The Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar onboard SAAB 2000 MPA is a modern high performance system that supports the full range of maritime surveillance and coherent imaging modes used for both naval and overland operations. The AESA radar provides Saab 2000 MPA with Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) capability with customized interrogator functions. The AESA surveillance radar is supported by a Saab R4A AIS transponder receiver/transmitter system for locating and identifying any naval activity. The AIS system also provides an encrypted data link. For close range detection, identification and recording of surface objects and activities, Saab 2000 MPA incorporates Electro-Optic (HDTV) and Thermal Imager sensors. The Saab 2000 MPA system incorporates an ELINT system providing the capability to intercept and collect intelligence information consisting of detailed information of e.g. complex emitters active signal components, the relationship and the dynamics between active signal components. The Saab 2000 MPA on offer is also equipped with an ESM system for automatic identification of RF signal sources and Direction Finding of RF signal sources with high accuracy. For self protection, a SPS system is installed including radar warning receivers, missile approach warning sensors, laser warning sensors as well as chaff and flare dispensers.

A raiz de la aparicion de un hilo sobre C-295 AWACS me he atrevido a sugerir que este tema en concreto, y AWACS para España y paises medianos en general, se trate alli, y aqui nos centremos en el sustituto del P-3, incluyendo MARPAT, lucha antisubmarina, misiones expedicionarias de los actuales P-3, estado operativo del Grupo 22...

Solo es una sugerencia, lo dejo en las manos de los "contribuidores" habituales.

Saludos

P.D. Es que a este paso usaremos este hilo para hablar del catering de Iberia

India busca 4 LHD,s:

Indian Navy launches Request For Proposal for 4 amphibious vessels (LHD type)

Several international groups should answer the request for proposal. French shipbuilder DCNS with its Mistral class (BPC) already serving with the French Navy and soon with the Russian Navy, the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri with its Multifunctional Ship (MS), Spain's Navantia will likely offer the Buque of Proyecciones Estratégica (BPE) and South Koreans shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries could offer their amphibious assault ship from Dokdo class.

Parece ser que lo quieren para portahelicopteros y buque anfibio, y también que los franceses parten con cierta ventaja.

Saludos.

Rusia ofrece al gobierno de la India el nuevo prometedor submarino "Amur-1650", tanto para la venta como la construcción bajo licencia.

Bueno con las capacidades reflejadas por el fabricante lo hacen muy competente y pertenece a una cuarta generación.

http://www.itar-tass.com/c96/299555.html

Con los problemas que tiene,no se si será tan prometedor.

[Vanguardia]

Alto pana Vanguardia, partiendo de las muy buenas relaciones que existen entre Rusia –India, no creo que los rusos se pongan a ofertar un sistema que no es te listo como tal, donde además son socios en otros desarrollos, ya que perjudicaría sus relaciones tan estrechas, donde hasta le están arrendando submarinos nucleares, acuérdate que hay una licitación internacional abierta referente a submarinos de cuarta generación.

Rusia no molestaría a su mayor socio y aliado.Pero si pueden tener roces,pero en todas las casas se cuecen habas.

Rusia,ya a intentado colarsela a algún aliado,como fue el caso de Argelia y los MIG29.

El único punto fuerte que le veo a la nueva clase de SSK Rusos,es que pueden portar el misil de crucero Brahmos,que tanto interés esta despertando en las fuerzas armadas de India.

La corporación aeronáutica rusa MiG, cito “Este diciembre vamos a completar la entrega de los aviones contratados en 2004 a la Armada india. Ya hemos iniciado la producción del lote siguiente, conforme a un contrato suscrito en marzo de 2010”, además hasta la fecha, la empresa rusa suministró a India 14 de los 16 aviones MiG-29K/KUB previstos en el primer contrato. El próximo lote, evaluado en 1,5 mil millones de dólares, será de 29 cazas.

Bueno con esto la Armada de la India completara los primeros 16 aviones MiG-29K/KUB, para su portaviones Viraat.

http://sp.rian.ru/Defensa/20111220/152277098.html

No son para el Viraat. El Viraat (ex-HMS Hermes) es un portaviones STOVL solamente y opera Harriers. Compraron los MIG-29K para operarlos desde el Vikramaditya (ex-Almirante Gorshkov). Ahora solo falta que les entregen el dichoso barco y que no les den otra sorpresa. Y por sorpresa entiéndase demora de varios años, duplicarles el precio, o ambas. Otra vez.

After 23 years, INS Viraat on its last leg

The 28,000 tonne aircraft carrier INS Viraat will be withdrawn from service after 23 years in the water, with a survey to assess the internal condition of the carrier’s hull already being commissioned.

Results of the review will be examined at a high-level conference next month following which a call be taken on a time-bound withdrawal of the carrier. “How long the hull could service will be checked,” a senior Navy officer said.

The carrier was commissioned in the Royal Navy in 1959 and later inducted into the Indian Navy in 1987. Since then, the carrier has undergone four major and one minor refit, the last one in July 2011. The Navy intended to use the carrier till 2020, which far exceeds its shelf life, sources said.

However, with Russian origin aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya scheduled to be inducted on December 4, 2012, INS Viraat, in all likelihood, will be withdrawn from service before 2020.

Dwindling number of Sea Harrier jets, which were upgraded recently, that fly from INS Viraat’s deck has also contributed to the early retirement of the carrier. At present, India has less than a dozen operational Sea Harriers.

The upgraded aircraft are capable of air-to-air refueling and carrying “beyond visual range missiles.” In February, air defence capability of the Viraat and potential of the Harriers were tested in an exercise in a networked environment.

INS Vikramaditya, built at a cost of $2.35 billion, will have a life span of 40 years. The carrier will have 100 per cent new pipeline, 100 per cent new cabling and 80 per cent new hull. However, internal structure of the hull can not be changed.

After its takeover by India in December, the carrier is scheduled to stay in the Russian yard for some more time for the completion of “pre-passage technical works.” It will arrive in India in the first half of 2013.

A fleet of MiG-29K naval fighters designated for INS Vikramaditya have already arrived. The on-board arrester wire of the carrier has been designed to support the MiGs and indigenous naval version of the Light Combat Aircraft.
