Defense Secretary Ashton Carter recent visit to India might have provided India much-needed boost in developing Second Indigenously developed Aircraft Carrier. Carter and Parrikar “agreed to expedite discussions to take forward cooperation on jet engines, aircraft carrier design and construction, and other areas”
While the possible sale of Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) developed by General Atomics was agreed upon by both. United States also has agreed to play a lead role in helping in developing a modern Aircraft carrier which can really challenge Chinese Navy in the region.
United States has quietly also agreed to help in designing of the ship since INS Vishal will be the largest Warship construction which India will undertake and US has vast experience in construction of even bigger Super Aircraft carriers. Indian Navy’s Naval Design Bureau (NDB) which has been tasked to design new aircraft carrier is already taking active help from Us counterparts to freeze final design of new ship.
INS Vishal which will be 65,000-tonne warship also will feature CATOBAR (catapult assisted take-off but arrested recovery) configuration for launching fighters as well as heavier aircraft from its deck. India till now only operated STOBAR (short take-off but arrested recovery) Aircraft carriers and CATOBAR Aircraft carriers always have been strong domain of United states navy and that is one of the reasons ,why Us will play a crucial role in design of INS Vishal from its initial stage .
US in principal also agreed to India’s demand to provide New Advance Electronic Warfare Suite for the new aircraft carrier, which will be similar to one installed on the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford.
While INS Vishal is still a decade away for becoming a reality yet. India and US have agreed to hold further talks for further cooperation in development of new aircraft carrier which US strongly believes will be instrumental against rising threats from Chinese Navy in the region and is more then determined to help India develop it.
