Lockheed Martin is delivering F-35 Lightning IIs with a “robust” but not yet combat-capable version of the Technology Refresh-3 (TR-3) software, according to the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), which administers acquisitions on behalf of the aircraft's customers.

The new software build marks an improvement over the TR-3 hardware and software load delivered starting in July, when the JPO resumed accepting aircraft following a year-long suspension. The improvements include updates to displays, added computer memory, and increased processing power, the JPO told Janes .

The JPO and Lockheed Martin said in a joint statement that they have “reached an agreement for the acceptance and delivery of TR-3-enabled aircraft with robust combat training capability. As part of the agreement, the JPO will withhold a portion of final aircraft delivery payments from Lockheed Martin until TR-3 combat capability is qualified and delivered”.

The JPO said that the withheld payments amount to approximately USD5 million per aircraft, which will be held back until a combat-ready version of TR-3 is delivered.

“Additionally, Lockheed Martin and its industry partners are making significant investments in development labs and digital infrastructure that benefit the F-35 enterprise's speed and agility in fielding capabilities to the most advanced and connected fighter jet,” the statement said.

Lockheed Martin declined to detail the investments.

PM Modi to be briefed about creating a new top post for armed forces

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to be briefed about the process to create the post of a new General for armed forces during the annual Combined Commanders Conference (CCC) to be held at Dehradun in next couple of weeks.

Authorities from the National Security Council and the Defence ministry are working on the proposal for creation of the post of permanent, chairman chiefs of staffs committee, who would equivalent to the chiefs of Army, Navy and Air Force.

"A presentation on this issue is expected to be made to the prime minister during the meet which is seen as moving towards reforms in the higher defence management in the country," sources told Mail Today.

The permanent, COSC would be a four-star officer who would be given the responsibility of tackling joint issues of the services like training of troops, acquisition of weapon systems and joint operations by the services.

Also read: Government may assign post at par with Army chief to superseded Lt Gen Praveen Bakshi

Sources said the process of appointing the new officer is likely to depend on the direction issued by the prime minister in this regard.

Defence ministry sources have been saying that if the process is initiated timely, Lt Gen Pravin Bakshi, who was superseded by the government while appointing new Army chief, can also be considered for the post.

The meeting is expected to be held at the campus of the illustrious Indian Military Academy in Dehradoon which is the training institution of all permanent commission officers in the force.

This is the second time that the meeting is being held outside the confines of the South Block on the advice of Modi who wanted to hold the annual conference at operational assets or military bases and not just Delhi.

During the conference, all senior army commander-rank officers of the three services along with the officials of the triservices formations are addressed by the prime minister and given the direction of the national security policy by the government top brass.

This will be also the first combined commander conference of the three service chiefs as in-charge of the Indian Navy, Air Force and Army last year.

Navy Chief Admiral Sunil Lanba took over on May 31, while General Bipin Rawat and Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa took over as chiefs on the last day of 2016.

The three services are also likely to brief Modi on the progress made by them in their respective areas in the last two years including modernisation of weaponry and also the efforts made by them in doing away with critical shortages.

The surgical strikes by the Army in Myanmar and Pakistan, the situation on the Line of Actual Control and the terrorism situation in Jammu and Kashmir and Northeast are likely to be discussed at the meeting. Some of the suggestions made by the Shekatkar committee are also likely to be taken up for discussion at the meet.

CDS AS PRESENT GOVERNMENT UNDERSTANDS

This is what I felt about creation of CDS and given below is what I wrote yesterday. Please go through. Comments are welcome.

How can a four star General be designated as Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), selection criteria for the coveted job (not rank) notwithstanding. CDS may have strategic forces and other triservice organisations (INDU being one such) under him as slso be a single point contact on matters pertaining to Defence and above all be advisor to the Government on matters military.

Will CDS then not be like a dignified CISC with rank upgrade. With all the "half baked" ingredients how the government is calling such a "military human", CDS. In military, one is either under some one or he he is not, there is nothing like first among equals.

And therefore it would be just about OK to call or designate the the person as Military Advisor to Government (MAG) or Chief Military Advisor (CMA) or something similar, but designating the person as CDS and his duties /envisaged role fall woefully short of the requirements.

I suppose I am dead right to suggest that if a matter/matters military and as important as the appointment of CDS is left to a "policeman" to the core, his Jems Bond type past notwithstanding, only such "Bhartaa" can be expected.

My personal view is that this government treats each of the sister services like say BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP and so on and Chiefs of each of the three sister services, as just DGs of the CPOs just mentioned.

From what one reads in the newspapers and if that is what the so called CDS is going to be like, then it would be better not to have one. It is not like the demand for OROP that is OK even if it is five pensions though demand was for one pension, indeed even that has been withheld if not denied.

What was the hurry to give this utterly confused CDS rank/designation/appointment; that we did it, but in fact you messed it up.

As stated, if CDS is not to be boss of of the three services then he is not the CDS, he will at best be as the present CISC is, only difference being that CDS will be equal in rank to the Chiefs with hardly anything/ nothing under Command.

What the government has actually achieved is that it has put a barrier between the government and three service chiefs. And that barrier is CDS. Incidentally, what will be the role of Defence Secretary, the Babu?

Was that the aim of the government or has the government floundered through its own thoughtless doings.

Yet another way dogs help the military: aeromedical patient evacuations

#Poop4U

They're physically and emotionally wounded -- most likely suffering from post-traumatic stress. Members of the United States military who serve abroad often return to the U.S. to treat their injuries and must be transported by aeromedical evacuation between medical facilities. Those who undergo these types of evacuations are in states of both chronic and acute stress.

While much is known about the benefits of animal-assisted interventions in a variety of health care settings, there is limited evidence of the biological and psychosocial effects of this form of interaction in the military population, particularly in an aeromedical staging facility setting.

A study led by a Florida Atlantic University researcher in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, Cheryl A. Krause-Parello, Ph.D., R.N., and collaborators, sought to test the feasibility and effectiveness of animal-assisted interventions to reduce stress in aeromedical staging facilities. For the study, they teamed up with a local not-for-profit animal organization that trains therapy dogs to visit health care facilities, libraries, and other community based settings with a certified dog handler.

"We know that stress can impede healing, which is why it's so important for practicing clinicians in aeromedical staging facilities and other health care settings to examine ways to reduce patient stress," said Krause-Parello, senior author, founder and director of Canines Providing Assistance to Wounded Warriors (C-P.A.W.W.) at FAU, the Sharon Phillips Raddock Distinguished Professor of Holistic Health in FAU's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, and a faculty fellow in FAU's Institute for Human Health and Disease Intervention (I-HEALTH), one of the university's four research pillars. "If animal-assisted intervention is effective in reducing stress, then this novel, innovative, and noninvasive intervention could easily be incorporated into these and other military settings."

For the study, recently published in the journal Stress and Health, the researchers examined the stress biomarkers cortisol, which affect the cardiovascular system and result in higher blood pressure, alpha-amylase, an enzyme, and immunoglobulin A, a blood protein that impacts the immune system, which were collected at regular intervals. The study sample included 120 military members ages 18 to 55 years old who were undergoing aeromedical evacuation. The majority of the male and female participants were in the Army (56.2 percent) followed by the Air Force (30.6 percent), Navy (7.4 percent), and Marine Corps (5 percent).

Results showed that an animal-assisted intervention in aeromedical staging facilities is both feasible and effective at reducing stress. Cortisol levels decreased significantly in the study participants following a 20-minute animal-assisted intervention. Patients with higher post-traumatic stress had a greater reduction in stress associated with immunoglobulin A, compared to those in the control group. Patients who participated in animal-assisted intervention experienced greater decreases in stress biomarkers than those who participated in the control group, regardless of post-traumatic stress symptom severity.

"The response to the animal-assisted intervention in our study was overwhelmingly positive," said Krause-Parello. "Study participants told us that they enjoyed interacting with the dogs, and the staff at the aeromedical staging facility also enjoyed visits from the dogs and their handlers."

Chronic stress is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from numerous physical and mental health disorders including heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, ulcer, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

"Results from this cutting-edge, nurse-led study by Dr. Krause-Parello and her colleagues offer promising, significant contributions to the field and to the military to support care of wounded service members. The finding that the animal-assisted intervention significantly reduced stress levels in post-traumatic stress symptom severity is powerful, especially in light of high rates of PTSD, cost of treatment, and the related co-morbidities," said Safiya George, Ph.D., R.N., dean of FAU's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.

The study was conducted in collaboration with researchers from the University of Maryland School of Nursing; the Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing, Uniformed Services University; TriService Nursing Research Program, Uniformed Services University; and Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

US-India Relations at the Crossroads

U.S. Secretary of Condition Mike Pompeo is scheduled to go to New Delhi this week to get ready the floor for a meeting among Primary Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G-20 conference on June 29 in Osaka. S. Jaishankar, India’s new overseas minister, will have to persuade Pompeo that the unnecessarily tricky-line trade policies of the Trump administration will only cloud the geopolitical guarantee of a closer strategic alignment involving India and the United States.

It is time to redefine the parameters of Indo-American ties. Pompeo needs to be instructed unambiguously that if trade tensions are allowed to persist, the pretty basis of Indo-U.S. strategic partnership will be identified as into concern. It is not in Washington’s pursuits for trade frictions to powerfully travel India’s domestic political debates in policymaking toward the United States.

Modi has started his second phrase as prime minister at a minute when the Trump administration’s unilateralist impulses are uncontrollable. As Trump’s marketing campaign for the U.S. presidential election up coming yr is very likely to be much more muscular and nationalistic than Modi’s marketing campaign this calendar year, India’s romantic relationship with the United States is at a crossroads. Even with a good deal of positive momentum, lots of sticky troubles threaten long run progress in Indo-U.S. relations.

On the positive side, ties between India and the United States have viewed considerable enhancement in the very last two many years with a convergence of sights on quite a few concerns. Successive presidents from Invoice Clinton through Donald Trump have ensured that the task of deepening ties between the India and the U.S. continues to be on track. Instantly just after assuming the presidency, Trump commenced to woo Modi, who missing no time in carving out a private marriage with him. The Trump administration designed India suitable for defense-linked technologies beneath a “strategic trade authorization,” going a move further more than the Obama administration, which experienced designated India as a “major protection spouse.”

The expression “Indo-Pacific region” has now replaced the time period “Asia-Pacific region” in the American diplomatic lexicon. The Trump administration has consistently explained India as a single of its big allies in the Indo-Pacific area it renamed the previous U.S. Pacific Command as Indo-Pacific Command, emphasizing the strategic linkage concerning the Indian and Pacific Oceans. There is increased clarity now that the arc of authoritarian resilience threatening each India and the U.S. is no extended localized to the Asian landmass but can likely stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean. The democratic voices in territories falling in between these huge oceans are calling for the generation of new stability architecture premised on international legislation.

There has been a developing realization in Washington that nearer ties with India can enable the United States develop into much better the moment again in Asia, where by China has begun to flex its army muscles. On the other hand, India feels constrained in its solutions because of to China’s expanding world wide footprints. As New Delhi is striving tricky to make its existence felt at the global amount with improved engagements, China’s reluctance to accept India’s world-wide rise is getting a unfavorable impression on India’s engagement in its fast community. India seeks to ameliorate numerous of its strategic difficulties by deepening ties with the United States.

Modi’s prior tenure witnessed a collection of protection-associated agreements that would allow the two countries’ militaries to operate closer with each other. Continuing the momentum, the Modi authorities would like the U.S. to support India add extra teeth to its military services abilities. This is significantly vital for India to develop into a internet company of security in the Indo-Pacific region.

The Standard Exchange and Cooperation Arrangement (BESA), the final of the three “foundational agreements,” is probable to be signed shortly. The Logistics Trade Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA), which permits the Indian and American forces to use just about every other’s facilities, was signed in 2016. The Communications Compatibility and Protection Arrangement (COMCASA), which permits the United States to transfer interaction equipment to India for the protected transmission of data and serious-time information, was signed for the duration of the inaugural “two-in addition-two” talks in 2018.

American issues about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s most formidable geopolitical challenge, the Belt and Street initiative (BRI), have observed echoes in New Delhi, which views the initiative as undermining India’s protection passions. India and the U.S. appear to be decided to counter China’s maritime expansion, which is witnessed as a risk to their trade routes in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Beijing is more and more utilizing the carrot and adhere coverage for rising its geopolitical impact in nations around the world in South Asia and the Indian Ocean location.

It is predicted that at the finish of this year India and the United States will perform a new bilateral triservices workout, which was declared at two-furthermore-two dialogue. Final thirty day period, two Indian naval ships – INS Kolkata and INS Shakti – participated in a joint naval exercising with the United States, the Philippines, and Japan. This important naval celebration has been considered as India supplying help to the Philippines in its statements about disputed areas of South China Sea.

The Quadrilateral grouping, uniting India, the U.S., Australia, and Japan, has been revived with meetings staying held at typical intervals. The Trump administration has been additional vocal than past administrations when it comes to U.S. assistance for New Delhi’s combat versus terrorism. The listing of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as an intercontinental terrorist by the UN is an instance of uncritical American assist to India. The Trump administration has also thrown its fat driving the Global Financial Fund (IMF) to fortify the Money Action Task Pressure (FATF) needs on Pakistan. Not long ago, the White Dwelling has built it obvious to Islamabad that the onus for regional peace is on Pakistan, which really should acquire irreversible actions to shut down terrorist teams. In other terms, American views on Pakistan feel a whole lot nearer to India’s pondering, and this is an achievement.

Hence Modi finds it much simpler to deepen ties with the United States as assist for closer ties with America has developed among the India’s strategic elite. He has been remarkably effective in projecting a solid impression of India, placing New Delhi in a major position to play a larger sized job on the intercontinental stage. Subsequent his huge electoral victory, Modi will discover additional maneuvering space to resist Chinese assertiveness although deepening ties with Washington. But it does not necessarily mean that the partnership is free of charge of frictions, as rhetorical ambition and simple constraint are two diverse things. Despite an unmistakably constructive convert in Indo-U.S. relations, Modi will locate that the United States is mounting tension on India on numerous flanks.

India cannot guarantee its international increase with no a secure worldwide financial order, but Trump’s The usa is tough the fundamental foundations of economic globalization. The U.S.-China trade and engineering conflict is climbing, with enormous effects for a world financial system now under anxiety from several directions. Washington would seem to relish bullying standard American allies, as has come to be a norm in its overseas coverage carry out in the course of the last several many years.

The Trump administration’s really thoughtless approach toward its allies by degrading the strategic price of NATO, threatening to impose tariffs on the European Union items in relationship with trade disputes, unilateral withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal against European consensus, and elevating uncertainties about America’s determination to Japan and South Korea are just a couple of noticeable illustrations of the senseless application of “America first” plan. With Washington flexing its financial muscular tissues, India has started to face heat.

New Delhi has been forced to end concessional oil imports from each Iran and Venezuela, and these large-handed American techniques have led to sharp increase in India’s oil import bill. India’s power protection demands a secure Center East and New Delhi are unable to be anticipated to downgrade its profile in the location. But far more that, the U.S. makes an attempt to undercut India’s strategic ties with Iran are heading to pose critical difficulties for Indian international plan. The common considerations of India and Iran about menace of jihadist terrorism emanating from Pakistani territory make Iran an important geopolitical spouse of India.

India’s attempts to arrive at Central Asia are also most likely to endure if New Delhi’s ties with Tehran present downward craze. So much, the United States has exempted the Iranian port of Chabahar – which allows India bypass Pakistan to build a transportation corridor to Afghanistan – from punitive sanctions, but a lot of in India stay deeply suspicious of America’s upcoming intentions. If Chabahar port stops receiving preferential therapy, it would be a typical situation of small-term American unilateralism trumping prolonged-expression strategic thinking.

The United States has also been essential of India’s bid to invest in the Russian created S-400 air defense technique. Washington argues that if India buys the S-400, it will violate the Countering America’s Adversaries Via Sanctions Act (CAATSA) America’s ties with Turkey are also beneath strain as the latter is preparing to invest in the similar S-400 program. Former US Protection Secretary James Mattis was the greatest advocate for a presidential waiver for India, but his absence from the Trump administration has designed the threat of CAATSA sanctions a real chance. The major obstacle New Delhi faces is that if it defies American diktat, there would be economic sanctions as perfectly as limitations on large-tech protection cooperation with Washington. But if India cancels the S-400 deal, its common ties with Russia are bound to suffer.

Trade ties are also a resource of tensions. India has been a massive beneficiary of the Generalized Process of Preferences (GSP) method, but the Trump administration is moving ahead to end it. The GSP is a preferential trade software that provides creating nations like India simpler entry to the American current market by lessening obligations on their exports. Meeting several American trade demands on professional medical units is not probable without having possessing a deleterious impact. Washington also wishes India to unwind e-commerce regulations. Numerous rounds of talks on a in depth trade package have unsuccessful to produce any breakthrough.

So far, the energy of Indo-U.S. strategic marriage has allowed total ties to endure the jolts on the commercial side. But America’s provocative and unilateral steps in the economic sphere will only exacerbate the Modi government’s troubles in balancing India’s multifaceted interactions with Iran and Russia. If the contemplating in Washington is that these actions would pressure India to turn out to be additional intently aligned with American place, then it is an in essence defective way to breathe a refreshing life into the Pax Americana. Each time Trump requires a strictly transactional technique to India, bilateral ties will appear under strain, and the variations in between Washington and New Delhi will then look too substantial and the need for a typical method way too weak. It for that reason requirements no further elaboration that the role of Iran and Russia in the Indo-U.S. bilateral dynamics needs to be addressed urgently.

Possibly most importantly, the real risk is that if the Trump administration does not soften its quarrelsome trade perspective towards India, it may conclusion up projecting an impression of The us as unreliable and insensitive. Hyper-nationalism and a combative technique has basically defined the motivational framework of Modi’s foreign coverage. As a result America’s narrowly-conceived steps may revive the dormant inclination in India’s diplomatic institution for the vigorous pursuit of “strategic autonomy.”

If a extra coherent reaction to the BRI in the type of various infrastructure initiatives is to emerge in in close proximity to long term, the United States can not carry on to behave like an arrogant, nonchalant, and unilateral actor. It is tempting to propose that the U.S. should give incentives and rewards to India somewhat than proceed to make demands, if it is really major about reversing China’s financial and strategic onslaught.

The Indo-U.S. ties have collected momentum fuelled by strategic realities and political convergence. Strategic dialogues and military services exercises in between the two have turn into far more advanced and elaborate. Thus, leaders on equally sides need to chart out a pragmatic vision of what is achievable more than the up coming fifty percent decade, with concrete measures along the way. The interlocutors of the Modi governing administration should convincingly argue right before Pompeo that a extensive-phrase American commitment to India in the Indo-Pacific location is the only way to operationalize the large prospective in Indo-U.S. strategic partnership into concrete policy outcomes while planning India as a credible counterweight to the Chinese electrical power in Asia.
