BEML and Indian Navy Forge Strategic MoU to Strengthen Indigenous Marine Engineering https://lnkd.in/d8A7SiBZ #BEML #IndianNavy #MarineEngineering #DefenseProduction #SelfReliance BEML and the Indian Navy have entered into a landmark MoU aimed at revolutionizing indigenous marine engineering. This strategic partnership focuses on enhancing the design, development, and production of advanced marine equipment, bolstering self-reliance in defense technology, and reducing dependence on foreign imports. Explore how this collaboration will shape the future of India's naval capabilities and defense infrastructure.

According to the Indian government's recent announcement, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy achieved significant milestones in the development of the Vertical Launch Short Range Surface to Air Missile (VLSRSAM) system. The back-to-back flight tests conducted off the coast of Odisha showcased the missile's advanced capabilities, including its vertical launch feature that provides 360-degree coverage without requiring the launcher to be repositioned. This design not only enhances operational efficiency but also optimizes space on naval vessels for additional equipment installation. With a range of up to 40 kilometers, the VL-SRSAM is equipped with cutting-edge guidance systems for precise target tracking, making it a crucial asset in the Indian Navy's short-range air defense strategy. Furthermore, its indigenous development underscores India's commitment to self-reliance and aligns with the "Make in India" initiative by reducing reliance on foreign technology. The successful tests underscore the missile's potential to enhance naval defense capabilities, offering a modern, cost-effective solution for safeguarding maritime interests. The VL-SRSAM's technical specifications, including its compact size, solid-fuel propulsion, and high-explosive warhead, position it as a formidable asset in modern naval warfare scenarios. #defense #defence #military #ship #ships #naval #marines #maritime #vessel #militarytechnology #technology #technologies #navy #defenseindustry #defensetechnology #missile #missiles #india #solidfuelpropulsion #indiannavy

🇪🇸⚓️👏 Exail has signed a contract with Navantia, S.A., S.M.E to supply its Gecdis-W Warship Electronic Chart Display and Information System for the Spanish Navy's S80 Plus-class submarines. Described as a “cooperational navigational asset,” the system will enhance the submarines' electronic navigational charting capabilities while on long-duration stealth missions. "Aligned with the S80 submarines’ core design objectives of stealth, endurance, and operational flexibility in remote and potentially hostile areas, our WECDIS system is set to contribute to the operational effectiveness and safety in submarine navigation within challenging underwater environments," Exail Regional Sales Manager Alexandre Maia said. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #spain #exail #navangia #submarine #submarines #maritimedefense #maritimedefence #navy #naval

📣 CNO releases NAVPLAN 2024! The Chief of Naval Operations has outlined her strategic vision for the Navy ⭐️ NAVPLAN 2024 prioritizes readiness for potential conflict with China by 2027 while also strengthening the Navy's long-term warfighting advantage. Key focus areas: 👉Project 33: Implementing seven initiatives to improve readiness. 1️⃣ Ready the force by eliminating ship, submarine, aircraft maintenance delays 2️⃣ Scale, robotic and autonomous systems to iterate more platforms that speed 3️⃣ Create the command centers are fleets need to win on a distributed battlefield 4️⃣ Recruit and retain the force we need to get more players on the field 5️⃣ Deliver a quality of service commensurate with the sacrifices of our sailors 6️⃣ Train for combat as we plan to fight, in the real world and virtually 7️⃣ Restore the critical infrastructure that sustains and projects the fight from sure 👉Joint Warfighting: Enhancing the Navy's contribution to overall military operations. https://lnkd.in/eKTQBefK #NAVPLAN2024 #USNavy #Warfighting #China #Readiness #TeamOrlando

#IndianNavy issues ₹60,000 cr mega tender to Indian shipyards, @MazagonDockLtd and @LarsenToubro to build 6 submarines in collaboration with Germany and Spain and begins trials. @IndianNavy aims to have attack submarines with fuel cells equipped with Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) technology to replace the ageing fleet. AIP is vital as it significantly decreases the risk of detection by the enemy by keeping the #submarines underwater for longer periods and enables the submarine fleet to have bigger vessels with more advanced capabilities. Besides, the Indian Navy is strengthening the fleet of 16 conventional submarines while another 6 #KalvariClass French #ScorpeneSubmarines are under constructions with Mazagon Dock. As China increases naval forays in the #IndianOceanRegion and gives AIP-equipped 8 Hangor submarines to Pakistan, Indian Navy begins augmenting India’s #MaritimeSecurity under P75 Submarine program.

The Spanish Navy has decided to forgo plans to equip its S-80 submarines with the Boeing submarine-launched Harpoon missiles as initially intended. This decision follows the U.S. Navy's announcement to discontinue the submarine-launched Harpoon programme and withdraw the missile from service in the medium term. Instead, the Navy is considering adopting the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) developed by Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. Already selected for Spain’s future F-100 frigates, the NSM is now being evaluated for use in its submarine-launched variant. To this end, the Navy has tasked Navantia, S.A., S.M.E, a Spanish shipbuilding company, with conducting a technical study to integrate the NSM into the S-80 series submarines. This contract, valued at EUR 240,000, builds on an earlier allocation of nearly half a million euros for preliminary integration activities.

🇩🇪⛴️ Thales has awarded HENSOLDT a contract to deliver additional naval radars for the German Navy’s upcoming F126 frigates. The 200-million-euro deal follows a 2022 contract that ordered non-rotating radars with four fixed antenna arrays for the fleet’s initial four vessels. The latest acquisition will supply two more warships to be built under the program, revealed in June 2024. “Our TRS-4D and its high-end components will be deployed on six German Navy ships in the future and offer the customer a high degree of commonality,” Hensoldt Naval & Ground Radars Head Markus Rothmaier said. “We are already working on the radars for the four frigates on a daily basis and are delighted that the option for two more has been taken up.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #germany #hensoldt #thales

🛳️🤩 BELGIUM NAVAL & ROBOTICS has started initial sea trials of the City-class mine countermeasure vessel in a joint procurement between Belgium and the Netherlands. Launched in 2019, the initiative will produce 12 advanced minehunter ships, half of which will be delivered to Brussels and the other half to Amsterdam. Work for the fleet’s design and construction is being facilitated by PIRIOU and Belgium Naval & Robotics’ parent company NAVAL GROUP, while the unmanned mission systems are led by Exail. "This first test campaign for a production ship is a technically very important and symbolically very powerful moment: it is the first time that a ship of this type has taken to sea, and this has been possible thanks to the mobilization of our teams and our partners since the construction of this ship was launched three years ago," Naval Goup's onboard manager for this test campaign Clémence Picard Destelan said. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #belgium #netherlands #shipbuilding #naval #navy #maritimedefense #maritimedefence #mines #navalgroup
