According to DRDO officials, the sonar developed for shallow water craft has been designated the HMS-X2. Interestingly, the compact integrated ship sonar system developed by DRDO has attracted interest from Southeast Asian navies as well countries from the Latin America region too. The system, known as the HMS-X2, has been presented to Southeast Asian navies operating 500 to 1,500 tonne surface vessels. The sonar is a compact, export version of the HMS-X being installed on the Myanmar Navy’s Aung Zeya-class guided-missile frigates.

NPOL is also producing HUMSA NG Sonars which are deployed on-board naval ships and submarines (Ushus). Advanced Light Towed Array Sonar (ALTAS), Low Frequency Dunking Sonar (LFDS), Advanced Active Cum Passive Hull mounted Sonars, Shallow water sonar, Diver detection and diver deterrence sonars are also under development.

HUMSA-NG is an advanced Active cum Passive integrated sonar system proposed to be fitted on a wide variety of Indian Navy platforms such as the Project 17, Project 15A and Project 28 class ships. HUMSA-NG is an advanced version of the existing HUMSA sonar presently fitted on P16, P15, Ranjit and Talwar Class of ships.

Why Is India’s Navy Chief Visiting Myanmar?
Admiral Sunil Lanba is on a four-day trip to the Southeast Asian state to advance naval ties.

By Prashanth Parameswaran
November 02, 2016


India’s navy chief is on a four day official visit to Myanmar from November 1 to November 4. According to a press release by the Indian Navy, the visit by Admiral Sunil Lanba is intended to “consolidate and enhance the bilateral maritime relations between India and Myanmar.”

Lanba will hold bilateral discussions with Myanmar’s first vice president, as well as the deputy commander-in-chief of Myanmar’s defense forces and the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Navy. He will also address students at the National Defense College and visit several military facilities, including the Defense Services Academy, Naval Training Command, and the indigenously-built Myanmar Navy Frigate UMS Aung Zeya.

Lanba’s visit is just the latest sign of the deepening of cooperation between India and Myanmar both in general as well as in the maritime realm more specifically. The momentum in Indo-Myanmar relations is partly coming out of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s so-called Act Est Policy – a more action-oriented variation on the ‘Look East’ policy first formulated under then-premier Narasimha Rao in the 1990s, which seeks to strengthen relationships with ASEAN specifically and East Asia more generally.

But it has also been an acknowledgement of the increasing prospects for Indo-Myanmar cooperation in the maritime domain more specifically. Both countries have shared a long maritime boundary in the strategically significant Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal, and maritime issues have become a growing part of bilateral defense discussions, even if tangible progress has been quite slow in some aspects (See: “India, Myanmar Eye Future Defense Cooperation”).

In February, in a major but little-noticed development, the two navies signed a pact to formalize coordinated patrols between them, making Myanmar just the third country with which India has such an agreement (the other two are Indonesia and Thailand) (See: “India, Myanmar Ink New Naval Patrol Pact”).

New Delhi is keen to highlight its growing naval relationship with Naypyidaw amid Lanba’s visit. His trip coincides with the port call of Indian naval ships now on their overseas deployment in Myanmar. The Indian Navy press release specified that this is a significant even as it marks the first time that officers from the Myanmar Navy have embarked on Indian naval ships as part of an international training exchange program. Lanba will also host a reception for dignitaries from Myanmar on board the Indian naval ships in Yangon.

Furthermore, the UMS Aung Zeya, which Lanba is visiting as part of the trip, is a good example of India’s capacity-building partnership with the Myanmar Navy. Though indigenously built, the Aung Zeya has sensors made by M/s Bharat Electronics Limited. India has been continuing its assistance in military hardware and equipment, with a damage control simulator built by M/s Goa Shipyard Limited commissioned back in May.

General Rawat is likely to address student officers of National Defence College which is a premier institution grooming the future senior leadership of Myanmar Defence Services.

New Delhi: Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat today left for Myanmar on a four-day visit during which he will hold talks with top military leaders there to further ramp up defence and security cooperation between the two countries.

Myanmar is one of India's strategic neighbours and shares a 1,640-km-long border with a number of northeastern states including militancy-hit Nagaland and Manipur.

Army sources said Gen Rawat will hold talks with top military brass of Myanmar and will explore ways to further broaden security and defence engagements, particularly between the two armies.


Myanmar's President Htin Kyaw had visited India in August last year during which the two countries had agreed to step up bilateral coordination between border guarding forces to ensure security in the areas along the border.

India has been concerned over some militant groups from the North-East region taking shelter in Myanmar. The country has been assuring India that it would not allow any insurgent group to use its territory against India.

The issue of cross border activities by certain insurgent groups might figure during talks between Rawat and Myanmar's military leadership.

In June, 2015 the Indian Army had carried out an operation in areas near the Indo-Myanmar against the NSCN (K) militants, days after militants had killed 18 Army men in Manipur.

It will take some time as our production lines are full with domestic orders for a long time to come. BrahMos is making additional manufacturing facility to address this but until that is made, export countries would have to wait.
