Indian Navy to receive military satellite by year-end

Indian Navy to receive military satellite by year-end :: Brahmand.com

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has fixed the ‘‘launch window’’ of the naval communication and surveillance satellite between December 2010 and March 2011.

"ISRO has assured us the naval satellite, with an around 1,000-nautical mile footprint over Indian Ocean, will be launched as slated. The project cost is Rs 950 crore. IAF and Army satellites will also follow in a couple of years,’’ the paper quoted a senior MoD official as saying, on Wednesday.

India Navy is confident that the dedicated military satellite will surely help the force in improving its C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) capabilities.

The dedicated satellite will help Navy network all its warships, submarines and aircraft among themselves as well as with operational centres ashore through high-speed data-links.

"Maritime threats can then be detected and shared in real-time to ensure swift reaction,'' added the official.

India to Launch First Military Use Satellite Under Defence Space Vision-2020



New Delhi (ABC Live): India has decided to launch its first dedicated military satellite by 2011 under Defence Space Vision-2020.

Information to this effect was shared by Ministry of Defence that Indian Space Research Organization has assured us the naval satellite, with an around 1,000 nautical mile footprint over Indian Ocean, will be launched as slated... The project cost is Rs 950 crore. IAF and Army satellites will follow in a couple of years.''

The dedicated satellite will help Navy network all its warships, submarines and aircraft among themselves as well as with operational centres ashore through high-speed data-links. "Maritime threats can then be detected and shared in real-time to ensure swift reaction,'' said an officer.

Indian armed forces have been already using "dual use'' satellites like Cartosat-I, Cartosat-II and Cartosat-IIA, but after this dedicated military satellite they will get dedicated satellites of their own.

In cureent time there are 300 dedicated or dual-use military satellites present in earth space, out of these 150 belonged to US followed by Russia and China.

Congratulations on this one .

What would be the capabilities of this Sat ?

no available data i tired of searching

Waiting for it. BTW future satellites rather than carrying just military grade communication and surveillance, should also carry instruments to search ships and submarines. IAF and IA will get satellites to search and track aircrafts and missiles with in four years.

I would be very grateful to anyone , who can give some figures for that data-links . Like-

Name or the company behind it
Speed for Uplink and down-link
Range of operation

Any one working in ISRO , or connections in ISRO
Thnx

As far as I know, until now Navy was using mainly INSAT satellites transponders and Inmarsat satellite services. After launching this satellite which will be the most advanced satellite from India, a cooperative product between Navy and DRDO will use complete Indian systems for secure, reliable, high speed network centric warfare. I think the project is entirely ISRO-DRDO-BEL-Indian Navy project.

ISRO strategic department and DRDO also working on many other dedicated projects we must see with in three/four years.
