The Barak-8 system that's supposed to be installed on board the junks won't be ready before 2017.

Deliveries are expected to be concluded by 2017

Naval Barak-8 Missiles, Israel - Naval Technology

The Barak-8 is a long-range anti-air and anti-missile naval defence system being developed jointly by IAI and India's Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO). Designed to defend ships from aircraft, unmanned air systems and anti-ship missiles, the missile is expected to enter service with the Indian navy during 2013. Barak-8 missiles will be installed on the three Project 15A Kolkata-class guided-missile destroyers under construction at the Mazagon shipyard in India. Delivery of the first vessel is scheduled for 2013.

Israeli, Indian firms sign Barak-8 missile pact

India has 2 different programs that could use the new longer-range Barak missile. The naval Barak-NG, or LR-SAM deal, was the first. Signed in 2006, it’s worth INR 26.06 billion (about $591 million at then-conversion) as of December 2009.The Barak-8′s follow-on project involves a land-based system, intended to replace old Russian systems.
Nov 9/09: MR-SAM. Reports surface again that Israel and India have signed a deal for the Barak-8 missile system, which appears to be the Army’s MR-SAM project. Indian reports quote an Israel official, who says that India signed a $1.1 billion contract in April 2009, with delivery expected by 2017.

Seems like the Sea Wasp has the smoking problems completely solved. This must give better combustion and fuel management.

Naval fleet goes on a month-long expedition

New Delhi, dhns:
Indian Navy's eastern fleet has gone on a month-long overseas deployment touching Thailand and Singapore among other countries, days before Defence Minister A K Antony goes on a trip to these nations in a bid to bolster India's “look east” policy to counter China in the Indian Ocean.

Four Indian warships—stealth frigate INS Satpura, destroyer INS Ranvijay, missile Corvette INS Kirch and tanker INS Shakti—are on a month-long deployment during which they will travel up to South China Sea. Headed by the fleet commander Rear Admiral P Ajith Kumar, the fleet reached port Klang in Malaysia on May 25 after touching base at Singapore. The fleet will conduct a passing-exercise with Royal Malaysian Navy.

While Satpura and Kirch arrived from Singapore after participating in a maritime exhibition and a bilateral naval exercise, Ranvijay and Shakti quietly sailed from Port Blair on May 21 when Chinese premier Li Keqiang was holding talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on regional security, sources told Deccan Herald.

The four warships will set sail for Vietnam on Wednesday and subsequently head to Manila in the Philippines. The ship's deployment from mid-May to end June in the South China Sea and the Western Pacific waters would reinforce military ties with Asean countries in addition to showcasing the Indian Navy's capabilities. India will soon become the first Asian nation to deploy two aircraft carriers. With the INS Viraat receiving three years of life and the INS Vikramaditya to arrive by the first quarter of 2014, India will be in a position to further flex its maritime muscles. The eastern fleet's deployment assumes significance as it coincided with Chinese premier Li Keqiang's maiden visit to India and immediately preceded by Antony's tour to Singapore and Thailand.

The defence minister will stop at both countries while returning from Australia, a known US ally. Antony will be the first Indian defence minister to visit Australia, which is now planning a bilateral naval exercise in the Indian Ocean.

The visit was originally planned in March but was pushed ahead due to the VVIP helicopter deal controversy that necessitated Antony's presence in India. The defence minister will travel to Australia on June 3. Following his visit, the Indian Navy is likely to participate in a fleet review in Australia by 2013 end. India attended two Australian navy exercise—Exercise Kakadu (2010) and Exercise Dougong (2002)—as an observer.

Though India and Australia had agreed to hold naval exercises in the Indian Ocean, details of the exercise are still in the planning phase. The Indian Navy invited Australia to take part in the five-nation Malabar exercise in 2007, which triggered angry reactions from China.

Navantia Gets US Help To Fix Overweight Sub

US-based Electric Boat has signed on to work with Spanish shipbuilder Navantia to devise a fix for the company’s overweight S-80 submarine, the Spanish Defence Ministry said, after engineers discovered the sub is so heavy it could not resurface if submerged.

But as work proceeds urgently to identify the precise nature of the problem and slim down the sub, one analyst said weight is not the only issue. The air-independent propulsion (AIP) system onboard also is underperforming, he said.

“It was meant to allow the submarine to stay underway for 28 days but only manages one week,” said Rafael Bardaji, head of the Madrid-based Strategic Studies Group, a private think tank. “This is the main advantage of the submarine, and it does not work.”...

Which should rule out any chances for the S80 in India.
