Listening to the Ocean: India Starts Undersea Project to Monitor Rival Subs

India intends to construct a seabed-based surveillance sensor array. This would monitor all submarine or naval ships patrolling the South China Sea and Indian Ocean Region.

New Delhi (Sputnik) – Indian PM Narendra Modi's government has given its approval to a project under which it will start laying an undersea optical fiber cable to strategically important locations in the Indian Ocean region.

“Union Cabinet has given its approval for the provision of a direct communication link through a dedicated submarine Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) between India's mainland (Chennai) and Port Blair and five other islands viz. Little Andaman, Car Nicobar, Havelock, Kamorta and Great Nicobar,” reads a statement released by Indian government.

Geography and the location of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal safeguard India's eastern seaboard. The estimated cost of the project is USD 165 mln, including operational expenses for 5 years. The project is likely to be completed by December 2018.

Government sources told to Sputnik that Japan International Cooperation Agency is expected to fund the project. Following its completion, India would construct its own array of seabed-based surveillance sensors stretching from Indonesia’s Sumatra Island to Indira Point in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The seabed based surveillance sensors would monitor all submarine or naval ships patrolling the South China Sea and Indian Ocean Region.

Currently satellites are the only medium for providing telecommunications connectivity between the mainland and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, but the available bandwidth is limited to 1 Gbps.

Reviving an old thread because the PN is modernizing and needs to plan on how to push out into its EEZ and beyond. Satellite communications are becoming more cheaper and the need to protect CPEC traffic will be the responsibility of the PN. It needs to find a way to do it cheaper and with quicker reaction times if it is to convince Chinese commercial partners of shifting factories to Pakistani SEZs in an ever changing world.

Laying sensors tethered to the undersea continental shelf is probably the most efficient means of getting at the different salinity layers. Relaying the delay quick enough for it to be processed and become actionable for other assets to investigate will be the issue for the PN in the years to come. This is not just for military purposes but to keep an eye on any activity in our EEZ.

The time has come that Pakistan and China should look into setting an underwater great wall for the Pakistani Coast. The systems has had a few years to mature, and there have probably been enough time for upgrades to be fielded. The Advantage of a system where the sensor portion is taken off the shoulders of the "shooter" platform is the shooter platform can be a smaller even unmanned system to swarm the enemy force.

The technology is there to power these sensors through submarine cables, and relay the data back

but for further out sensors, relaying data via satellites would be more prudent.

Guided by data from underwater and shore based sensors as well as space based sensors and relayed on multiple secure datalinks, a swarm of cheap small AIP submarines could lay in wait with modern Torpedos and Anti-ship cruise missiles, like wolf packs of old; reborn in the form of designs like the Andrasta SSK. laying a few hundred kilometers off shore, they could free up the other assets to persue offensive operations.

Furthermore: the PN really needs to build over the horizon surface radars at multiple sites to get another means of checking the surface traffic. The surface radar could potentially be enhanced with the new Chinese Quantum Chips to better resolution and improved range.

Running the underwater data and surface radar data through a supercomputer, and spot checking the suspicious target with satellite Photo(EO) and/or SAR when available, the right assets can be deployed to investigate the contact. (a small fleet of cube-sats with these sensors can allow one satellite to pass overhead at least hourly)

Here is literally the anaysis of Chinese Over the Horizon technology
