Visit of Indian Warships to Bahrain

Indian Naval Ships Deepak, Delhi, Tabar and Trishul are on a month-long deployment to the Gulf to enhance bilateral ties and engage in naval exercises with friendly regional navies. The visiting ships form part of the Indian Navy’s Western Fleet and are based at Mumbai. Of the four ships, INS Deepak and INS Tabar entered Manama today and will stay there till 12 Sep 15, during which the warships will have professional interactions to enhance co-operation and understanding the nuances of naval operations including disaster management and combating maritime threats of terrorism and piracy. Apart from professional interactions, sports and social engagements are also planned, which are aimed at enhancing co-operation and understanding between the Navies.

India has an ancient maritime tradition and maritime interaction with the Gulf dates back to over 4000 years B.C. The Indian Navy today has multi-dimensional capability comprising aircraft carriers, modern ships, submarines, aircraft and marine commandos. A notable feature of the Indian Navy’s force structure is the fact that the overwhelming majority of its ships are designed and constructed in India.

The Indian Navy has close and friendly ties with all navies in the Gulf and has been regularly exercising with many of them. The Indian Navy is also privileged to provide training and hydrographic support to several navies in the region. The involvement of Indian Naval ships in combating piracy off the coast of Somalia since October 2008 has further strengthened bilateral ties and interaction with navies in the region.

India and Bahrain have enjoyed excellent relations characterised by close bilateral ties, deep rooted in shared history and cultural affinities. The relations are sustained and nourished through growing economic linkages, multifaceted cooperation and close people to people contacts. Indians are the largest expatriate community in Bahrain with over 4,00,000 Indian nationals working and contributing towards development of Bahrain. Bahrain is also a very important trade partner of India in the Gulf. Bilateral cooperation also extends to the fields of education, investment, commerce, security and defence cooperation. The current visit seeks to underscore India’s peaceful presence and solidarity with friendly countries in the Gulf and strengthen the existing bonds of friendship between India and Bahrain.

@Penguin how capable is CAMM??...............can it be used in replacement of Barak 1

Does that answer the question?

Our under development maitri SAM (which is indeed MICA VL + our systems) is as capable as CAMM.
@Penguin
Really?

According to MBDA missiles, will have a range of 15-km, a max altitude of 3-km with a sea-skimming mode, with a vertical launch multiple target capability
Maitri (SR-SAM) Project Analysis | idrw.org
LESS range & altitude.

the project ground to air SR-SAM (Short Range Surface-to-Air Missile) missile, an evolution of the VL Mica that must be developed in India with the assistance of MBDA, is discussed and constant back and forth between France and New Delhi since 2007.
...
Evolution of the current VL Mica production at MBDA for export customers, the future SR-SAM should display a larger fuselage section for carrying fuel and increased range. India wants indeed have a weapons display a range of 15-20 km class against different types of ground-air threats.
Will induct Brahmos missile once ready: Raha | Indian Defence Forum
Since MICA VL isn't quad packed, neither will Maitry (if it is a VL Mica evolution and larger than VL Mica)

Just some of the Obvious differences with CAMM.

Current Maitri/MICA Joint development is only for navy. Navy don't need longer range because it is just for point defence.
Larger range/fuselage requirements are clearly for Army/AF.
So,the current Maitri would be export variant of MICS VL with little input form DRDO.
We don't have a UVLS to go for quad pack, it is not a requirement.

According to reports development of next-generation, quick-reaction surface-to-air missile (QRSAM) will have Joint-venture Partnership of 60% French and 40% Indian in $5 billion SRSAM program ‘Maitri’. The missile will sport a smokeless solid rocket motor, low aspect ratio wings and jet vane control for thrust vector control. single shot kill probability (SSKP) of at least 70% for a single missile fired, and 85% for a salvo shot involving two missiles.

But French have already carried out the development of the seeker, thrust-vectoring assemblies, endgame avionics, propulsion for the missile. DRDO likely to get minor Workshare which will not lead to any significant technology contribution towards the missile program. While Missile will be produced locally in India under Transfer of Technology (TOT) India will end up paying Royalties for next 3 decades to France for every missile produced.

PS:i'm talking about CAMM base variant.
any other significant difference ?

YOU claim maitri is as capable as CAMM > YOU proove that.
NOT VICE VERSA

I have proved maitri is as capable as CAMM in terms of Indian Navy requirements.
You are also correct in a regular MICA Vs CAMM scenario. (Development of both is a decade apart and incidentally by the same company :p:)
subjective and objective ways of looking things muh..? :coffee:
 
not really
The official at MBDA also said that the "Make in India" project is apt for the deal.
He added that while the range of SRSAM will be of 40 km, Akash's range is only 25 km
France hopeful of $6-billion Maitri missile project - timesofindia-economictimes.

Even Mica VL is 20 km and has attitude of 11 km MICA (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia compared to CAMM, on which SRSAM suppose to based on

Since MICA VL isn't quad packed, neither will Maitry (if it is a VL Mica evolution and larger than VL Mica)

Maitri can be made for quad pack like CAMM .....

And if you look at the specs of MICA VL VS CAMM they are quite similar
Specifications

Weight CAMM: 99 kg MICA VL: 112 kg
Length CAMM: 3.2 m MICA VL: 3.1 m
Diameter CAMM: 166 mm MICA VL: 160 mm
Operational range CAMM: <1–25+ km MICA VL: 20 km
Speed CAMM: 3 Mach MICA VL: 3 Mach
Made CAMM: 2016 MICA VL: 1996
