India, Russia In Advanced Talks For $1.1 Billion Chopper Deal
India and Russia are in advanced talks to seal a $ 1.1-billion deal for new medium lift helicopters to be used by both the defence and home ministry, with a likelihood of it being inked at an upcoming bilateral summit that will see Russian President Vladimir Putin travelling to the capital in October.
The deal for 48 additional Mi-17 V5 choppers – which currently are the backbone of the air force’s heliborne transport fleet – has been in discussions since 2015, with both the ministries raising a demand for helicopters to be used for a range of missions. These include troop support missions in the mountain regions as well as critical air transport for the fight against Naxal extremism.

RIL Founder Dhirubhai Ambani’s 5 Evergreen Quotes That Will Poke You To Dream Big
Dhirubhai Ambani, founder of India’s second most valued enterprise by market capitalisation Reliance Industries started the company with a meagre Rs 1,000. Sharing that it was Dhirubhai Ambani’s dream to see Reliance Industries turn into a world-class conglomerate, chairman Mukesh Ambani noted that his father had realised his dream in his own lifetime.
“My father founded Reliance in 1966 with one just employee and with a meagre capital of only Rs 1000, or about USD 130 at that time. Even then, his dream was to build Reliance as a world-class and world-scale Indian business conglomerate. He realised his dream in his own lifetime,” Mukesh Ambani said at Financial Times ArcelorMittal Boldness in Business Awards in March this year.

L&T, Reliance Officials First Called For Bid Opening, Then Sent Back Sans Explanation
On the eve of the monsoon session, the defence ministry has decided to play it safe, postponing a decision on a warship deal that would have given the winner a Rs 20,000-crore contract under the Make in India initiative.
The commercial bidding process for four amphibious warships to be made in India has been stuck for over a year now after L&T and Reliance Naval & Engineering Limited (RNEL) were shortlisted by the ministry.
In a day of u-turns, top executives of both the companies were summoned to South Block for the opening of commercial bids, which would have decided the winner of the contract. A relatively short notice of a few days was given to the executives to be present for the purpose.

India’s Navy Has A Problem: An Aircraft Carrier Shortage
On July 9th, the trade publication IHS Jane’s reported that India will no longer commission its second indigenous aircraft carrier (IAC-2) in the 2030-2032 timeframe as it was previously scheduled to do.
According to the report, the delay is “due to steadily declining budgets, technological hurdles, and, above all, enduring delays by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in approving the program.”
Similarly, the local media outlet, Rediff News, reported on the same day that owing to declining budgets “national security planners are reluctant to green light crucial power projection platforms, notably India’s second indigenous aircraft carrier (IAC-2), which should have already been under construction to join the fleet by about 2030.”

DRDO Looks To Engage Firms For Border Surveillance System
https://defenceaviationpost.com/drdo-looks-to-engage-firms-for-border-surveillance-system/The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is looking towards the industry for the commercial production and marketing of a border surveillance system (BOSS) developed by it.
Two prototypes of the system, developed by DRDO’s Dehradun-based Instruments Research and Development Establishment, were deployed in Ladakh for trials for over a year, sources said. Following requisite modifications and upgrading, the DRDO now wants it operationalised.
“Since DRDO is not a production agency, we are looking at transferring the technology to interested parties, both in private and public sector that can manufacture the system,” a senior DRDO scientist said. “We are willing to engage up to three firms for the project,” he added.

Make In India VS Service In Russia: Indian Navy Unhappy With Locally Serviced Submarines?
With prime minister Modi’s Make in India program promising better services and goods manufactured in the country, the defence ministry is debating using it over foreign services for their submarines.
Officials remain undecided on whether to send two Indian Navy Kilo-class submarines for service life extension and medium refit to original manufacturer Russia or get it done in India under the ‘Make in India’ program.
The Rs 2,400-crore project will increase the lifespan of the super quiet conventional submarines by 10 years. If the project is awarded to an Indian shipyard, it will bring a windfall in terms of technology and skill to the country.

Why The Indian Air Force Is In Dire Need Of Combat Enablers
Lost in the din of public discourse about the depleting squadron strength of the Indian Air Force is the equally dire need of combat enablers, without which the IAF would be severely handicapped in bringing force to bear in an optimal manner.
While a Flight Refuelling Aircraft (FRA) enhances strike ranges of fighters, an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) platform creates a composite air picture by fusing the radar pictures from all ground- and air-based radars with its own.
This composite air picture, along with feeds from onboard communication and electronic sensors, is used by the AWACS to direct own strikes against the adversary as also control own fighters to intercept his incoming raids.

DRDO’s Unique Surveillance System To Guard Border At High Altitude
Surveillance along the border, which has been a concern for the security forces, can now be intensified with a new system developed by India’s premier Research and Development agency – Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The border surveillance system designed and developed by Dehradun- based Instruments Research and Development Establishment (IRDE) has many unique features for monitoring border areas at high altitude.
The system facilitates monitoring and surveillance of border areas by automatically detecting intrusion. It helps ease patrolling in harsh zero temperature areas and providing the armed forces the much-needed relief.
