Facing challenge at sea, navy embarks on long road to upgrade chopper fleet
Navy’s push for 24 multi-role helicopters worth Rs 10,000 crore is aimed at adding more air power

The navy is preparing a fresh case for buying new multi-role helicopters (MRH) after failed attempts to fill a key area of deficiency in its capabilities, a senior navy officer said.
The MRH is expected to be the future mainstay of the navy’s anti-submarine, anti-ship warfare and airborne early-warning capabilities that have seen a worrying and persistent deterioration over the last decade.
The new push for 24 MRH worth over Rs 10,000 crore is aimed at replacing the Sea King 42/42A helicopters that were retired almost around two decades ago.
“The replacement is overdue. It was around 15 years ago that the navy moved a case to get new MRH. It’s a very crucial operational requirement,” said vice admiral (retd) Shekhar Sinha, a naval aviator and former Western Naval Command chief.
The Sea King 42/42A models came with aircraft carrier INS Viraat. Bought from the UK, the Viraat was commissioned as the navy’s second carrier in 1987 and retired last year.
The navy came very close to hammering out a deal for 16 Sikorsky S-70B Seahawks a year ago, but the negotiations fell through, forcing the project to return to the drawing board. The takeover of Sikorsky Aircraft by Lockheed Martin affected price negotiations as the defence ministry’s commercial negotiation committee had to deal with a new management, navy sources said.
Shortage of MRH has forced the navy to ration its helicopter resources. “The navy has to beg, borrow and steal to keep the show going,” Sinha said.
It is unclear at this stage what course the navy will take to purchase the new helicopters — whether it will go in for a government-to-government (G2G) deal or float a global tender.
Sources said the US administration has offered the S-70B Seahawk to India under a G2G deal, also known as the foreign military sales programme.
A G2G deal is a contract between two governments that does away with the need to float a tender. Such transactions may be complicated in their conception and execution but are more transparent to financial scrutiny.
Apart from MRH, the navy needs to invest thousands of crores to buy naval utility helicopters (NUH) and naval multi-role helicopters (NMRH).
The navy requires 111 NUH to replace its outdated fleet of French-designed Chetak choppers. A fresh effort to buy these ship-borne utility helicopters got underway in October, with the defence ministry according its “acceptance of necessity” (AoN) to a Rs 21,738-crore programme to replace the Chetaks.
The AoN is only the first step towards buying a weapon or platform in a complex acquisition procedure that can sometimes take up to a decade to translate into a final contract.
“I don’t think AoN is a big deal. There are several programmes that were granted AoN years ago but we are nowhere close to buying those weapons and systems,” said another senior navy officer on condition of anonymity.
What’s worrying is that the majority of India’s 140 warships are operating without integral utility helicopters. These five-tonne class choppers are used for several purposes, including search and rescue operations, medical evacuation, anti-piracy and anti-terrorism operations, communication duties, humanitarian assistance and surveillance.
The US, European and Russian suppliers are expected to compete for the NUH programme by stitching up alliances with Indian firms under the government’s ‘strategic partnership’ model.
Sixteen of the choppers will be bought in flyaway condition from a foreign military contractor, and the remaining 95 will be locally built in partnership with an Indian firm.
The navy had released two requests for information for 123 NMRH and 111 NUH this August, seeking details to build the helicopters in the country.
Naval helicopters come with special modifications such as foldable blades for shipboard storage, wheeled landing gear and airframe resistant to salt water corrosion.
Building capability can take years and if decisions are not taken on time, the military suffers. If India were to clinch the NUH deal today, the last of the 111 twin-engine choppers will still take 13 years to arrive.
An older plan to import 56 NUH was scrapped as the government wanted to pursue the programme under the Make in India banner. Besides, the navy had modified its requirements.
Similarly, a previous NMRH tender for 126 helicopters was withdrawn to power the Make in India plan. The NMRH project is expected to move forward under the ‘strategic partnership’ model at a later juncture. The NMRH mission range covers anti-submarine warfare, anti-ship warfare, electronic warfare and carrying marine commandos — roles performed by the navy’s Sea King 42B/42C variants.
Naval helicopter programmes have to be accelerated to overcome shortcomings and keep the force mission ready, said BS Randhawa, a retired vice admiral.
“Remember submarine and surface activity, including Chinese presence, has risen sharply in the Indian Ocean region,” Randhawa said.
“If a warship is not armed with choppers, it’s a serious capability gap. These choppers are a potent part of a vessel in terms of extending its range and overall capabilities for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare,” a top navy officer said.
The navy also operates a mix of 20 Russian-made Kamov-28 and Kamov-31 helicopters for anti-submarine warfare and electronic warfare respectively. The Kamov-28 fleet is undergoing a midlife upgrade at a cost of Rs 2,000 crore.

BANGALORE, JULY 17. A "universal test rig" set up at the Helicopter Division of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. in Bangalore promises to handle much of the testing needs of the Indian Navy.
The Rs. 70-crore test facility will save the Navy some Rs. 6 crore a year when the rig becomes operational early next year, a senior naval officer told presspersons here on Saturday.
S.V. Gopalachari, Deputy Chief of Naval Staff and head of the Navy's Directorate of Naval Air Material, inaugurated the rig supplied by a German firm, ZF Luftfahrttechnik.
Initially, the rig would serve as a "Sea King Transmission Test Facility" for the Navy's 26 made Sea King helicopters, N.R. Mohanty, chairman of HAL, said.
The Navy operated a squadron of Sea Kings based on the aircraft carrier, INS Viraat, in Mumbai.
They were put on frontline ships for "anti-submarine warfare," Vice-Admiral Gopalachari said. So far, the gearboxes were being sent to Westland, the firm that made them, in the U.K. Now, HAL's helicopter division would be equipped to test them here, Mr. Mohanty said.
Testing the gearboxes involves simulating actual flight conditions to check if they are holding up to required standards on various parameters, including the tremendous thrust the rotors generate when they lift a helicopter up.
Ashok K. Baweja, Director of Design and Development at HAL, said: "Since we have bought a universal rig, modifications can be made to the rig to test gearboxes of other helicopters too." Such aircraft included the HAL's indigenous Advanced Light Helicopters (ALHs) and some 26 Russian-made Kamov family of helicopters, Mr. Baweja said. HAL was to supply 10 ALHs to the Navy by the end of the 10th plan, the Vice-Admiral said, including four that would be used for anti-submarine warfare. Those ALHs would be equipped with torpedoes and depth charges.
The Navy was also looking for an air-to-surface missile. "We don't have an air-to-surface missile right now. We are looking for one and when we get one it will be integrated into the ALH's weaponry," he said.
The Navy was looking at buying another 16 Sea King helicopters.
"We are short of these medium-range helicopters, which have their own SONAR (sound navigation and ranging), and we will be buying them second-hand, he said. These aircraft would go on ships including a large aircraft carrier, Admiral Gorshkov, which India is buying from Russia, and a smaller indigenous carrier being built in Cochin.
The "Air Defence Ship" (ADS) was expected to be ready by 2010, the Vice-Admiral said.
The ADS is planned to be a 40,000-ton class carrier equipped with a "ski-jump," a short upwardly inclined runway for aircraft.
It will carry between 20 and 25 aircraft, including fighters such as the MiG 29 K, the Light Combat Aircraft (Navy), and helicopters such as Sea King, Chetak, and the ALH.
A second ADS may also be built, Vice-Admiral Gopalachari said.

This development comes days after the IAF issue the RFP to HAL for manufacturing 83 Tejas Light Combat Aircraft
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Friday received a Request for Proposal (RFP) for 15 limited series Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) from the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Army.
This development comes days after the IAF issue the RFP to HAL for manufacturing 83 Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) in Mk-1A configuration.
LCH is a 5.5 tonne class multirole attack helicopter developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and is intended to play a major role in providing close air support to ground forces. It is the only attack helicopter in the world which can operate at heights of 12,000 feet. Presently, four technology demonstrators are under flight testing.
The limited series production is a precursor for full fledged serial production. Of the 15 helicopters, five are for the Army and 10 for the IAF.
On August 26 this year then Defence Minister Arun Jaitley launched the production of LCH at Bengaluru and the Initial Operational Configuration (IOC) documents of the basic version were handed over to HAL.
The IAF has out forward a requirement for 65 LCH and the Army for 114 of these attack helicopters.

Jan 31, 2018, 08.00 PM IST
The development of indigenous AFCS is a HAL funded project and would replace the high value imported system, HAL CMD T Suvarna Raju said.
BENGALURU: HAL today said it has carried out the first flight of Light Combat Helicopter (Technology Demonstrator-2) with the Automatic Flight Control System designed by it, for the first time in the country.
The maiden flight was 'flawless' and flew for 20 minutes with the engagement of the system throughout, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited said in a press release.
Wing Commander( Retd) Unni K Pillai, Chief Test Pilot and Group Captain (Retd) Rajesh Verma, Test Pilot were at the controls of LCH, it said.
The development of indigenous AFCS is a HAL funded project and would replace the high value imported system, HAL CMD T Suvarna Raju said.
"The AFCS is a digital four axis flight control system capable of performing control and stability augmentation function and auto-pilot modes of helicopters."
"The indigenous development of the Hardware, Software and Control Law is a fully in-house effort of HAL R&D Centres - RWR&DC and MCSRDC at Bengaluru, SLRDC at Hyderabad and Korwa Division," he said.
Representatives from certification agencies and senior officers from HAL were present during the flight.
HAL said it has already indigenised the Cockpit Display System on LCH, namely Integrated Architecture Display System (IADS) with the participation of Indian private industries and that development flight testing was under progress.
The Initial Operational Clearance for LCH was given on August 26, 2017 in the presence of the Union Defence Minister.

To enhance capacity of Light combat helicopter from 8 to 16 per year: HAL
Will be manufacturing light combat aircraft (LCA), which will strengthen its business prospects of the company, said M Chamola, Officiating CMD, HAL.
CNBC TV18@moneycontrolcom
Defence firm Hindustan AeronauticsAero hit the IPO Street. HAL is a 100 percent government held Navratna Company and the largest defence public sector undertakings in terms of value of production.
M Chamola, Officiating CMD, HAL in an interview to CNBC-TV18 shared the details about their expansion plans. The company currently has 20 production units and 11 research and development center, he said.
Talking about Greenfield, brownfield expansions, he said a new facility to manufacture light combat helicopter (LCH) will be coming up near Tumkur, Bengaluru and enhance manufacturing capacity from 8 to 16 helicopters
He said the government plans to dilute 10 percent through IPO and therefore the proceeds will go to them.
They will be manufacturing light combat aircraft (LCA) which will strengthen its business prospects of the company, said Chamola.
The issue is available at a price band of Rs 1215-1240 and has an issues size is Rs 4113-4198 crore for. Post the issue the implied market cap of the company would be at Rs 40,628-41464 crore.
Talking about capacity expansion, he said it will be around Rs 1300 crore annually and Rs 5000 crore cummulatively over the next five years.
Chamola said the current orderbook for the company stands at Rs 68000 crore and 90 percent of the orders for the company are from defence, while 10 percent are civil orders. Going forward around Rs 60,000 crore orders are expected.
