Eyeing a contract for IAF's single-engine fighter jets, Swedish defence giant Saab today said it will set up in India one of the most advanced aircraft production facilities globally if its Gripen E multi-role jet wins the deal.


Top Saab officials said the company has already finalised a blue-print for setting up the hub which will manufacture Gripen E for India and the global market besides having separate facilities to design, develop, modify and enhance new fighters for the future.

The government has already issued Request for Information (RFI) to procure a fleet of single-engine fighters for IAF and US defence form Lockheed Martin will be a major competitor for Saab for the deal.

Lockheed Martin has offered to completely shift a F-16 production line to India for manufacture of the fighters. Kent-Ake Molin, Director of Sales and Marketing of Gripen, projecting Gripen E as the "best" multi-role fighter for IAF, said the aircraft manufacturing hub conceived by Saab for India will be the most modern facility in the world with a major focus on technology transfer.

Saab is also looking at supplying the Indian Navy a naval version of Gripen with advanced features and capablility to take off from aircraft carriers.

Asked whether technology transfer would be difficult as Gripen jet engine has components developed by US defence majors, particularly under Donald Trump's presidency, Molin said there was no reason to worry and concerns regarding the issue are misplaced.

He said India's light combat aircraft has US components and any such issues will be resolved. Saab had offered Gripen for the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft deal which was eventually awarded to French Dassault's Rafale.

Molin said the facility for India would include a dedicated Gripen Design Centre, a major production facility equipped with the latest manufacturing technologies and robotics systems, a radar and sensor centre, final assembly plus test and verification centres, among others.

It will also have repair and overhaul and design services, he said, adding the fighter technology ecosystem would support the full spectrum of production capabilities for India, including parts manufacturing and sub-assembly.

Exuding confidence of winning the deal, Molin said Saab has already held talks with 80-100 companies in India for the mega production facility and that the company has already given a presentation to the government about its plan.

Another Saab official said the company has finalised a deal for maintenance of electronic warfare (EW) suit for Advanced Light Helicopter Dhruv developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.

Top Saab executive Tony Ogivy said the firm would incubate partnerships between its global supply chain and Indian suppliers. "Saab would also foster R&D partnerships for next-generation platform, system and sub-system design and development across the industry. To support the Gripen facilities and the wider aerospace industry, Saab will set up a training academy for pilots, technicians and aerospace engineers," said Molin.

He said the company would be in a position to start work on its plans for the facility within a month of getting the contract. Saab has started to identify and evaluate Tier II and Tier III partners from all over India. The firm has already evaluated potential sites in a number of states and has entered into discussions with several state governments.

First Indigenous Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) in IOC Configuration to be Handed over to IAF During Aero India 2017

The first indigenous Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) in IOC configuration shall be handed over to the Indian Air Force (IAF), on 14th February during Aero India 2017 at Yelahanka Air base in Bengaluru. This was announced by Chairman DRDO and Secretary Department of Defence (R&D), Dr. S. Christopher while addressing the media in Bengaluru today, during the curtain raiser on DRDO’s participation in Aero India-2017.

The Airborne Surveillance System is a game changer in air warfare. The AEW&C System is a system of systems populated with state-of-the art Active Electronically Scanned Radar, Secondary Surveillance Radar, Electronic and Communication Counter Measures, LOS (Line of Sight) and beyond LOS data link, voice communication system and self protection suite, built on an Emb-145 platform, having an air to air refueling capability to enhance surveillance time. A Complex tactical software has been developed for fusion of information from the sensors, to provide the air situation picture along with intelligence to handle identification/classification threat assessment. Battle management functions are built in house to work as a network centric system of Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS) node.

This system has been developed and evaluated through collaborative efforts between DRDO and the IAF, with coordination for certification clearance and quality assurance by CEMILAC and DGAQA. The AEW&C system has undergone all weather and environmental trials and has been accepted by the IAF for induction.

Chowdary; Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rajiv Pratap Rudy; Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat; Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal B.S. Dhanoa; Defence Secretary G. Mohan Kumar; and Secretary, Defence Production, A.K. Gupta.

The Confederation of Indian Industry, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and the PHD Chamber of Commerce have organised three sessions on February 15 focussing on manufacturing in India and the readiness of small businesses for foraying into aerospace. Swiss, the U.K. and Polish teams have planned business sessions with Indian companies.

Delegates will be coming in from Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brazil, Brunei, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Oman, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Sudan, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, the UAE, the U.K., the U.S., and Uzbekistan.


Four aerobatic teams

Two Indian, a British and a Scandinavian aerobatic teams are slated to enthral crowds during Aero India next week.

Local pride will be from Indian Air Force’s Sarang helicopter team and popular Surya Kiran team. Surya Kiran had not performed at the 2015 show.

Sweden’s Scandinavian Airshow team and the British Evolvkos Aerobatic Team are the other two that will enthral the crowds.

Dassault Aviation said three Rafales will be present — a single-seat Rafale C and two twin-seat Rafale B. A daily flight solo display will be performed.

U.K. Defence Minister to lead 20-member team

British Minister for Defence Procurement Harriett Baldwin will lead a 20-member U.K. business delegation. They will focus on tie-ups with Indian companies in defence, aviation and security sections, said an official statement.

“The U.K. and India have much to offer one another in defence: from manufacturing collaboration and simplified export controls, to military cooperation, training and research partnerships.”

The two countries signed a Defence and International Security Partnership in November 2015. With defence exports worth £7.7 billion, the U.K. is the second highest defence exporter.
