印度基洛級潛艇成功試射俱樂部-S巡航導彈
http://www.sina.com.cn 2008年07月30日 11:01 中國船舶資訊中心

　　[據俄羅斯RIA Novosti通訊社2008年7月29日報導] “辛杜維佳”號潛艇在俄羅斯完成檢查之後，將於8月5日啟程返回印度。

　　“辛杜維佳”號潛艇是印度從俄羅斯採購的877型“基洛”級常規潛艇，從2005年開始，“辛杜維佳”號潛艇就在茲韋茲多奇卡船廠進行改裝。

　　由於新裝備的SS-N-27“俱樂部-S”巡航導彈的一些參數不合要求，檢查工作推遲了6個月。2007年11月，俄羅斯連續進行了6次交付前的“俱樂部”導彈發射試驗，可是由於導彈沒有發現目標而都失敗了，因此，在全部問題解決之前，印度拒絕接收該艘潛艇。

　　“俱樂部-S”亞音速巡航導彈可以從533毫米魚雷發射管或垂直發射管內發射，射程為160海裏(約200千米)，使用一個ARGS-54主動雷達自導頭及衛星和慣性制導。新的發射試驗在7月中旬完成，並取得了成功。“辛杜維佳”是印度第四艘在茲韋茲多奇卡船廠完成改裝的潛艇。

　　此次升級專案包括對潛艇進行全部的拆卸檢修，包括艇體結構，以及對控制系統、聲呐、電子戰系統和綜合武器控制系統進行升級，此次升級大約花費8000萬美元。

　　俄羅斯的“基洛”級常規潛艇作為安靜型潛艇獲得了世界的認可，已經有中國、印度、伊朗、波蘭、羅馬尼亞和阿爾及利亞訂購了該級潛艇。(中國船舶資訊中心 楊龍塾)

Indian submarine to join navy after delayed refit in Russia
12:09 | 29/ 07/ 2008

ST. PETERSBURG, July 29 (RIA Novosti) - The INS Sindhuvijay diesel-electric submarine will set sail for India on August 5 to rejoin the Indian navy after an extensive overhaul at a shipyard in northern Russia, the company said on Tuesday.

The Project 877EKM Kilo-class submarine had been undergoing a refit at the Zvezdochka shipyard in Severodvinsk since 2005.

The overhaul was delayed for six months due to the unacceptable performance of its new SS-N-27 Club-S cruise missiles. In six consecutive pre-delivery test firings in September - November 2007, the Club missiles failed to find their targets and India refused to accept the delivery until all the problems had been fixed.

The Club-S subsonic cruise missile is designed for launch from a 533 mm torpedo tube, or a vertical launch tube. It has a range of 160 nautical miles (about 220 km). It uses an ARGS-54 active radar seeker and Glonass satellite and inertial guidance.

The new trials were completed in mid-July and were successful.

Sindhuvijay is the 4th Indian navy submarine to have been refitted at the Zvyozdochka shipyard.

The upgrade program also involved a complete overhaul of the submarine, including its hull structure, as well as improved control systems, sonars, electronic warfare systems, and an integrated weapon control system. The upgrades reportedly cost about $80 million.

Russia's Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines have gained a reputation as extremely quiet boats, and have been purchased by China, India, Iran, Poland, Romania and Algeria.

俄推遲一年交付核潛艇要求印度增加租借費用
http://www.sina.com.cn 2008年07月24日 09:56 中國國防科技資訊網

　　據《簡氏國際海軍》2008年7月22日報導 準備租給印度海軍的一艘“阿庫拉”(971型)核潛艇已經開始在俄羅斯阿莫爾的共青城船廠進行系泊試驗。

　　據官方消息：“Nerpa”號預計在2009年9月交付給印度海軍，比預定的時間表晚一年多。

　　印度向俄羅斯租的這艘核潛艇很可能重新命名為 Chakra號，租期為10年，租金大約7億美元。

　　系泊試驗在6月11日開始，緊接著是海試，14個月後將交付給印度海軍，屆時印度將成為繼美國、俄羅斯、法國、英國以及中國之後第六個擁有核潛艇的國家。

　　海軍方面稱潛艇交付時間的推遲是由於費用分歧引起的。由於國內通脹以及美元的貶值，俄羅斯要求增加印度費用。

　　印度3組核潛艇艇員總共約300人，近18個月來一直在聖彼德堡附近Sosnovy Bor的預定設施內進行潛艇操作培訓。

　　這些設施也用於培訓印度第二艘核潛艇的艇員，第二艘核潛艇是印度本土建造的先進技術艇(ATV)，該艇在印度東部中心城市維薩卡派特南(Vishakhapatnam)建造，目前已接近完成。(中國船舶資訊中心 陳建峰)

美國建議為印度海軍兩栖戰艦安裝鐳射反導系統
http://www.sina.com.cn 2008年07月23日 08:40 東方網

　　據《印度斯坦時報》報導，美國雷神公司日前建議印度海軍在其新裝備的“加拉希瓦”號兩栖戰艦上安裝“密集陣”鐳射反導彈系統。

　　雷神公司發言人指出，新型的“密集陣”戰術鐳射反導彈系統可以光速攔截敵方來襲導彈，能夠有效充實“加拉希瓦”號上目前由兩座老式“密集陣”構成的近程防禦系統。

　　據悉，老式的“密集陣”近程防禦系統由一門六管機關炮、一部目標探測和跟蹤雷達站和一套可根據威脅程度計算目標飛行軌跡的控制系統。

　　而據雷神公司評估，用鐳射發射器替換多管機關炮可大幅提升正套反導系統的作戰效能。

　　雷神公司此前曾表示願意幫助印海軍將其現役的“密集陣”系統升級至Block 1B的標準，包括安裝前視紅外攝像機、更換控制系統和炮管等。

　　需要提醒的是，在近日舉行的“范堡羅-2008”國際航展上，雷神公司副總裁邁克•布恩曾宣佈，針對戰術鐳射反導彈系統的評估測試將於今年秋季開始，之後，將開始其批量生產工作。

　　據專家們預測，新一代的陸基“密集陣”系統將首先裝備駐紮在伊拉克和阿富汗的美軍部隊。

　　“加拉希瓦”號兩栖戰艦由印度政府在2005年耗資約4823萬美元從美國購入，原是美海軍的“特林頓”號兩栖船塢運輸艦。該艦可以搭載全副武裝的968名海軍陸戰隊官兵及其攻擊裝備。還能裝載4艘人員登陸艇(LCPL)或車輛登陸艇(LCVP)；2艘氣墊登陸艇(LCAC)，或9艘LCM-6型機械化登陸艇，或4艘LCM-8型機械化登陸艇，或20輛兩栖裝甲輸送車(LVT)。可為印海軍提供更強勁的兩栖作戰能力。此外，“加拉希瓦”號兩栖戰艦還能開展災難救援行動。當海上發生近海石油設施火災或者是海洋性氣團事故等災難時，它還能作為指揮和控制平臺使用，這也使得印度海軍同時具備了大規模救災和人道救援能力。

　　對於印度海軍而言，“加拉希瓦”號的服役標誌著其在海運和空運能力上的飛躍，為印海軍和遠征力量的運輸、投送提供了平臺。長173米、排水量16900噸的“加拉希瓦”號目前是印海軍中僅次於“維拉特”號航空母艦的第2大艦艇。(北斗）

Navy can use laser to blast missiles

Sat, Jul 19 01:20 AM

The laser is emerging out of the realm of sci-fi to debut in combat. For the first time, coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are planning to unleash the technology's vast potential to combat threat of insurgent missile and rocket attacks.

Signalling a revolution in military hardware, India too can grab a slice of that technology with the United States proposing to equip the navy's second-largest warship INS Jalashwa with a new generation laser system that would enable it to blast enemy missiles in the sky. The new weapon can easily be mounted alongside the Jalashwa's Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS) for shooting down incoming targets at the speed of light, claimed US defence firm Raytheon that has found military application for the laser.

The Phalanx currently uses advanced radar and computer technology to locate, identify and direct a stream of 20 mm armour-piercing projectiles to the target. Admiral Walter F. Doran (retd), head of Raytheon's Asia business, told HT at the Farnborough international airshow that the laser system slaved to the Phalanx (also built by Raytheon) would significantly enhance the Jalashwa's defence capabilities to decimate incoming threats.

Installed on all US combatant ships, the Phalanx provides a warship last-chance defence against anti-ship missiles and close-in-air and surface threats that may have penetrated other fleet defences. The reason British MoD and US military want to equip their forces with laser power is the obvious advantages it enjoys over bullets - the laser can shoot forever as long as there is electricity.

News GalleryKolkata, Jul 17: Indian navy added two new warships to its fleet. The Water Jet Fast Attack Crafts (WJFAC) INS Cinque and INS Chariyam were launched by the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSE) at the Khidderpore docks here.

The warships are the first part of the 10-ship series, each costing 500 million rupees, to be delivered to the Navy by October 2010. INS Cinque - named after a pristine Island sanctuary in the Andamans and INS Chariyam - named after an Islet in Lakshadweep, are an improved version of the Fast Attack Crafts with a speed in excess of 35 knots, designed in-house by GRSE. According to Vice Admiral B S Randhawa, India's vast coastline an island territories demand extensive patrolling and monitoring and WJFAC were the best suited for the purpose.

"They have very high speed and long endurance. These ships are extremely useful for patrolling especially in coastal waters in the island territory of Andaman Nicobar and Lakshadweep. As well as in areas like the sea-lanes between India and Sri Lanka," he said.

The ships will be fitted with CRN-91 Gun along with sensors.

The first two ships in this series, INS car Nicobar and INS Chetlat, which were launched in November' 2007, are at the fitting-out stage and are scheduled to be commissioned in the navy from November' 2008.

印度獲法國同意轉移潛艇製造技術
中央社╱中央社 2008-07-18 21:58
     
（中央社記者郭傳信新德里十八日專電）據印度民營最大商業通訊社印度亞洲新聞社今天報導，法國艦艇建造局已同意將製造「（魚＋由）魚級（或稱天蠍級）」傳統動力潛艇的技術全部轉移給印度，並且承諾正在印度船廠製造的六艘「（魚＋由）魚級」潛艇，將會如期在二零一七年之前交貨。

報導說，法國艦艇建造局主席彭柏甫表示，轉移技術不是問題，法國會完全遵守合約義務，甚至會將還沒有被要求的裝備，加裝到潛艇上。

據報導，彭柏甫是在接受媒體訪談時，作了上述表示。他說，法國政府並沒有對技術轉移作任何設限。

印度是於二零零五年十月間，與法國簽訂一項約三十億美元的合約，購買六艘由法國和義大利設計並配備法國「飛魚（EXOCET）」系列反艦飛彈的「（魚＋由）魚級」潛艇，並在印度組裝，法國則提供若干印度造船廠無法生產的潛艇關鍵組件。

報導說，彭柏甫每隔半年會到印度視察潛艇製造進度。位於印度第一大城孟買的海軍艦艇製造廠馬札岡船塢公司，已獲授權建造這六艘潛艇。

其他報導稍早說，在馬札岡船塢的潛艇興建工程，是在去年開始，目前進度正常，法國艦艇建造局已派駐十餘名工程師協助監督，並計劃增派至三十人。

據報導，法國有意爭取印度海軍的第二批訂單，希望出售新一代的「（魚＋由）魚級」潛艇，具有發射更遠程飛彈的能力。

報導引述彭柏甫的話說，法國必須轉移技術給印度工程人員，包括從繪圖開始，因為印度至今已將近二十年沒有製造潛艇。據報導，印度最後一次製造潛艇是在一九八零年代末期，當時在德國協助下建造了兩艘潛艇。

Full transfer of Scorpene submarines' technology: French firm

Fri, Jul 18 12:44 PM

New Delhi, July 18 (IANS) French warship major DCNS says it will fully transfer technology for its Scorpene submarines that are being built in this country for the Indian Navy and that the six boats contracted for will be delivered on schedule by 2017.

'Transfer of technology is not an issue. We will fully abide by our contractual obligations and even go a step further by providing equipment that has not even been asked for but will aid in the construction of the submarines,' said DCNS chairperson and CEO Jean-Marie Poimboeuf.

'We have already started to transfer technology. This is a big challenge but we are totally confident we will achieve what we have set out to do,' Paris-based Poimboeuf told IANS in an interview here.

India and France had in 2005 signed a Rs.130 billion ($3 billion) deal for six Scorpene submarines armed with Exocet anti-ship missiles. It was originally thought that one of these would be in sail-away condition while the remaining five would be manufactured at the state-owned Mazgaon Docks Limited (MDL) at Mumbai. It now transpires that MDL would build all the six vessels.

'There is no restriction at all from the French government (on transferring technology),' Poimboeuf pointed out.

The official is here for a visit he undertakes every six months to monitor the progress in the construction of the first Scorpene submarine at MDL, which began last year.

He has also interacted with defence ministry officials on future contracts - including for the next generation Scorpenes that will be capable of firing long-range air-breathing missiles.

Discussing the challenges in transferring technology, Poimboeuf said this was because the wheel had virtually to be reinvented in training Indian engineers and technicians for the job at hand.

'We had to start from scratch because whatever expertise India had acquired in building submarines had been lost as no boats have been constructed for nearly 20 years,' Poimboeuf explained.

The last time a submarine was built in India was in the late 1980s when MDL constructed under licence two German HDW boats, in addition to two that the Indian Navy had purchased in sail-away condition. MDL was to have constructed a total of four boats but the contract was abruptly terminated following charges that HDW had paid massive kickbacks to secure the Rs.4.20 billion deal.

The four HDW submarines in the Indian Navy's fleet of 16 boats will approach the end of their combat life between 2016 and 2024.

'Today, there is a new generation (of Indian engineers and technicians). We have to start from scratch in training them and are very serious about this,' Poimboeuf said.

Toward this end, DCNS has deployed 15 French engineers at MDL against the six it was obligated to and plans to raise the number to 30 as the project proceeds.

It is also opening a fully owned-subsidiary in Mumbai next month to speed up the technology transfer process and to involve Indian industries by way of joint ventures or outsourcing.

'The subsidiary would not only support the submarine project but work with local companies to indigenise the boats,' Poimboeuf explained.

Speaking about the construction of the first Scorpene, he said its various sections were being built and after integration of the systems they would carry, they would be put together by the end of the year.

'The full integration of all the systems would take another three years, after which sea trials would be conducted over a period of 12-18 months before the vessel is declared fully operational by 2012,' DCNS Vice President (Projects) Pierre Legros explained.

印度將在明年接收首艘俄制阿庫拉級攻擊核潛艇
http://www.sina.com.cn 2008年07月05日 12:16 中國國防科技資訊網

　　據《印度快報》網站2008年7月4日報導 在經過17年的漫長等待後，印度海軍即將在2009年接收第一艘俄羅斯的“阿庫拉”級核潛艇，這將使得印度海軍擁有先進的水下作戰武器，並將增強印度海軍的遠海作戰能力。

　　這艘被命名為“查克拉”號(INS Chakra)的多功能核潛艇於6月11日在俄羅斯阿莫爾河畔共青城船廠開始了廠方的測試，並將很快進行海上測試。據俄羅斯國防部消息透露，該潛艇將在2009年9月交付。據專家稱，“查克拉”號潛艇將可填補由於印度本國的ATV(Advanced Technology Vessel)核潛艇項目的拖延而造成的空白。

　　3名為該潛艇配備的印度海軍船員已經在聖彼德堡附近的索斯諾維-波爾(Sosnovy Bor)潛艇培訓基地接受了訓練。此外，該培訓基地還可用于未來印度ATV潛艇船員的訓練。

　　儘管印度在2004年簽署一份價值6.5億美元的合同為971型(Shchuka-B，北約稱為“阿庫拉”)潛艇建造提供了資金支持，但有關方面這次並沒有透露“查克拉”號潛艇的租借費用。

　　“阿庫拉”(鯊魚)級核潛艇是俄羅斯最安靜的攻擊核潛艇，這艘“查克拉”號潛艇是印度海軍于1988年向前蘇聯租的。1988年1月至1991年3月，前蘇聯曾租借給印度海軍一艘K-43級670型核潛艇(“查理”級)，但在美國的強大壓力下，前蘇聯方面沒有再繼續租借。(中國船舶工業綜合技術經濟研究院 溫佳峰)

印度向俄租借核子潛艇　可望明年交船
中央社╱中央社 2008-07-03 21:27
    
（中央社記者郭傳信新德里三日專電）據印度半官方「新聞信託社」今天發自莫斯科的報導，印度海軍向俄羅斯租借的一艘「阿古拉」級核子潛艇（北大西洋公約組織代號為「颱風」級），排水量兩萬六千五百噸，租期十年，目前已在俄羅斯船廠進行各項航行測試，可望明年九月正式交給印度。

印度在二零零四年向俄羅斯簽約租借的「阿古拉」級潛水艇，全長一百七十一點五公尺，排水量兩萬六千五百噸，是一艘多功能的攻擊性核潛艇，據稱也是目前全世界潛航噪音最低、也最具殺傷力的巨型潛艇，可以攜帶二十枚多彈頭核子戰略飛彈。

這也是印度海軍第二度向俄羅斯租借核子潛艇。一九八八年，印度曾向前蘇聯租借一艘「K-43」核子潛艇，北約稱之為「查理（Charlie）」，作為訓練自己核潛艇人員使用。但一九九一年三月租約期滿時，前蘇聯總統戈巴契夫因受美國強大壓力，拒絕續約。

據新聞信託社引述俄羅斯國防人士的話說，印度租借的「阿古拉」級潛艇，六月中旬開始已在俄羅斯船廠進行各部門的測驗，隨後是包括潛航在內的各項航行測試，預計可在明年九月交給印度。報導說，印度海軍目前已有若干人員在當地接受訓練。

據俄羅斯專家表示，印度的核潛艇國造計劃落後甚久，這艘多功能的核潛艇可以暫時彌補印度海軍發展核潛計劃的斷層，包括用以訓練印度本土核潛艇部隊的官兵。

報導並未透露印度向俄羅斯租借這艘「阿古拉」級核潛艇的代價。

長久以來，為實際掌控印度洋及躋身海洋大國，印度積極打造藍色海軍，發展核潛艇計劃，並從一九七四年開始，進行核潛艇國造計劃。但至今三十四年過去了，依然未見一艘印度本土核潛艇。

報導說，印度核潛艇國造計劃已進入最後階段。但報導並未透露實際進度和可能的成果。據海軍專家表示，印度準備製造五艘核潛艇，配備核彈頭巡航導彈，核潛艇的排水量是四千噸，長約一百二十四公尺。

據海洋軍事專家評論印度的核潛艇國造計畫表示，印度雖然已有操作核潛艇的經驗，本身對原子能技術的研發也有一定的成就，也有能力製造潛艇船體和得到所需要的傳感器等，但在整合組裝和縮小核子反應爐尺寸以因應窄小船艙方面，顯然遇到瓶頸，在技術方式仍有待突破。

Russia to test aircraft carrier for India's navy in 2011
13:26 | 03/ 06/ 2008

ST. PETERSBURG, June 3 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Sevmash shipyard said on Tuesday it planned to test an aircraft carrier currently being modernized for the Indian navy in 2011.

India contracted the $1.5 billion Admiral Gorshkov for its navy in 2004. After long-running delays and disputes, Russia and India agreed in February to raise refit costs for the aircraft carrier, berthed at Sevmash in north Russia for the past 12 years.

The carrier, renamed the Vikramaditya, is to replace India's INS Viraat carrier, which, although currently operational, is now 50 years old.

"The successful solution of all the financial issues will enable the shipbuilders to sail the aircraft carrier out into the Barents Sea for trials. In the winter of 2012, the ship is expected to be finally refitted and trials will continue in the summer of that year. At the end of 2012, the aircraft carrier is expected to be fully prepared for its transfer to the Indian navy in accordance with the schedule approved by the Russian Navy," Sevmash said.

The contract to deliver the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier to India, which state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport signed with the Indian navy, covers the modernization of the ship and equipping it with modern weaponry, including MiG-29K Fulcrum aircraft and Ka-27 Helix-A and Ka-31 Helix-B anti-submarine helicopters.

After it has been refitted, the Gorshkov is expected to be seaworthy for 30 years.

印度外購武器再遭推遲 法國潛艇延期一年交付

http://www.sina.com.cn 2008年05月29日 07:41 環球網
　　印度斯坦時報5月28日文章，原題：鮋魚級潛艇專案遭遇惡劣氣候

　　在俄羅斯無法在最後期限之前交付戈爾什科夫號航母之後，現在輪到法國讓印度沮喪了。技術轉讓的推遲將使價值1879.8億盧比(約42.7億美元)鮋魚級潛艇項目遭遇“惡劣氣候”。

　　印度海軍可能無法按照計畫在2012年之前接收首艘鮋魚級潛艇了，目前，法國尚未轉讓鮋魚潛艇的設計和圖紙檔等關鍵技術細節。

　　印度海軍高級官員28日確認說，鮋魚級潛艇專案已延期一年。

　　2005年10月份印度和法國簽訂鮋魚級潛艇項目合同。

　　位於孟買的印度馬紮崗船塢有限公司(Mazagon Docks)計畫建造6艘鮋魚級潛艇，此舉將從根本上提高印度自主設計並建造潛艇的能力。

　　法國DCNS公司今年年初還向印度海軍保證，圍繞技術轉讓的問題將會跟進，6艘潛艇中的首艘將於2012年建造完畢，後面5艘將以每年一艘的速度生產。

　　印度海軍現有16艘常規潛艇，包括10艘俄制基洛級潛艇、4艘德國HDW 船廠製造的潛艇和兩艘非常陳舊的“狐步”(Foxtrot)級潛艇。2015年之前，現有16艘潛艇將只剩下10艘，因此“鮋魚”級潛艇項目對印度海軍至關重要( 作者拉祜爾•辛 環球網 張加軍)

印度準備進行全球招標再次購買6艘常規潛艇

http://www.sina.com.cn 2008年05月12日 10:12 中國船舶資訊中心

　　據印度防務網2008年5月10日報導 印度海軍司令蘇裏什•梅塔表示：在已經訂購6艘“鮋魚”級潛艇的基礎上，印度海軍計畫訂購另外的6艘潛艇，此外，海軍還希望在未來裝備自己研製的核潛艇。

　　他表示：印度目前正在推進本土核潛艇技術研製項目，印度海軍希望能夠很快完成這批6艘潛艇潛艇的採購。

　　梅塔在一次記者會上表示：“按照在軍隊中保持一定數量潛艇的計畫，我們將會採購6艘‘鮋魚’級潛艇和6艘另外一種類型的潛艇。”他表示：在“鮋魚”級潛艇的引進過程中存在時間滯後的問題，所以海軍希望這一批採購另外一型潛艇。

　　梅塔表示：“我們需要具備本土建造常規潛艇的能力，印度海軍強烈希望發展本土技術。因此，我們希望我們的船廠能從這些公司獲取技術，隨後能夠用這些技術自己建造潛艇。”

　　梅塔又表示：“海軍希望新的潛艇具備導彈垂直發射能力，印度新的核潛艇可能會裝備核武器，也可能裝備常規武器。”

　　國防研究與發展組織(DRDO)正在負責核潛艇項目，梅塔表示，在獲得三艘航母之前，印度海軍需要更多的飛機、更多的驅逐艦。但與所需資金相比，目前更困擾海軍的是決策制定過程緩慢。(中國船舶資訊中心 楊龍塾)

India to acquire six more submarines: Naval Chief
9 May, 2008, 1356 hrs IST, PTI

MUMBAI: India will soon float global tenders to acquire six submarines but would like to see indigenous development of this technology in the future, Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta said on Friday.

These six submarines would be in addition to the Scorpene submarines, which the Indian navy is expected to acquire soon.

"In accordance with the plan to keep a certain number of submarines in the force, we will be acquiring six of one type (Scorpene) and six of another type," Mehta said at a press conference, marking the end of a two-day-long naval commanders' conference held here.

The development of Scorpene submarines had been delayed and it was now time to look for a second type of submarine, he said.

Mehta said, "We need to have indigenous capability for building these submarines and Indian Navy has been a strong proponent of indigenous development. Therefore, we would expect that our shipyards take over the technology from some of these companies and thereafter build it themselves."

The submarines for which tenders would be floated could also have vertical missile launch capabilities, he added.

The Indian Navy's requirement was small and, therefore, it presently could obtain the submarines from abroad, the admiral said, adding the navy was also hopeful of obtaining nuclear powered submarines in the future.

"The nuclear powered submarines could be equipped either with nuclear or conventional weapons. The present nuclear submarine project was being developed by Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO)," he added.
