  • SIPRI Yearbook 2018: Armaments, Disarmament and International
    world nuclear forces 267 VI. Indian nuclear forces shannon n. kile and hans m. kristensen India is estimated to have a growing arsenal of 130–40 nuclear weapons (see table 6.7). This figure is based on calculations of India’s inventory of weapon-grade plutonium and the number of operational nuclear-capable delivery systems. India is widely believed to be gradually expanding the size of its nuclear weapon stockpile as well as its infrastructure for producing nuclear warheads. Military fissile material production India’s nuclear weapons are believed to be plutonium-based. The plutonium was produced at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay, Mumbai, by the 40-megawatt-thermal (MW(t)) heavy water CIRUS reactor, which was shut down at the end of 2010, and the 100-MW(t) Dhruva heavy water reactor. India operates a plutonium reprocessing plant for military purposes at the BARC.1 India plans to build six fast breeder reactors by the 2030s, which will significantly increase its capacity to produce plutonium that could be used for building weapons.2 An unsafeguarded 500-megawatt-electric (MW(e)) prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) is being built at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) complex at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu. The PFBR is expected to be commissioned in mid-2018 following a series of technical delays.3 The IGCAR has announced that a fast reactor fuel cycle facility will be built at Kalpakkam to reprocess spent fuel from the PFBR and future fast breeder reactors. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned by 2022.4 India is currently expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities.

  • Indian Army Successfully Carries out Trials of Third Generation NAG Missiles
    Sat, 20 July 2019 Indian Army successfully carries out trials of third generation NAG missiles The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019 By Manjeet Singh Negi The Indian Army has successfully carried out its summer user trials of third Generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile NAG at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges. The trials of the missiles, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), were conducted between July 7 to July 18, 2019. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the user-evaluation teams and the DRDO for the successful completion of the user trials. The NAG missile has been developed to engage highly fortified enemy tanks in all weather conditions with day and night capabilities and with a minimum range of 500m and maximum range of 4 km. It is a third-generation fire-and-forget-class missile and uses an imaging infrared seeker in lock-on- before-launch mode. The missile is launched from the NAG missile carrier (NAMICA) which is capable of carrying up to six combat missiles. The robust imaging algorithm has made the missile hit the target at a distance of 4 km even in severe summer desert conditions which is unique in its class. As part of the NAG summer user trials, six missions were conducted under extreme temperature conditions of the Pokhran Ranges. All the missiles have met the mission objectives including minimum range, maximum range, indirect attack as well as top attack modes and achieved a direct hit on the target.

Way forward 18 SIDM Final - Print.indd 3 9/23/2020 10:02:13 PM Foreword - SIDM Since the announcement of the Make in India Vision by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in 2014, a renewed zeal and optimism has spread across the private sector. Besides the existing players creating series of success stories in Make-in-India, many new entrants have entered the sector to be part of India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem. In the last few years, the Indian industry has grown leaps and bounds through indigenous manufacturing exploiting inhouse innovations as well as strategic partner- ships through collaboration with foreign OEMs of choice. A very significant growth multiplier over the past five years is visible in the defence exports arena. The Industry is further energized with the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ along with the recent easing of FDI regulations in the defence sector, as a strategic direction to future. With proactive and industry friendly policies (DPEEP) and procedures (DAP), tax incentivisation (lower tax rates for new manufactur- ing companies), labour reforms and reform in company Law in quick suc- cession, promoting acquisition of indigenous defence goods by prioritizing Indigenous offerings, all in place and having articulated a target of achieving a USD25 billion defence industry by 2025, India is has provided the required impetus not only to indigenise its own market but also significantly contrib- ute towards the growth of its share in the global defence market.

  • In Fl Ndia's Lies Far Brahm Rther, F Mos Cr Faster Ruise M Than O Missile Others
    Tue, 04 Feb 2020 India’s BrahMos cruise missile flies farther, faster than others The name is derived frrom India’s Brahmaputra and Russia’s Moskva rivers By Anil Bhat In 1998, India signed an agreement with Russia to design, develop, manufacture and market BrahMos, a supersonic cruise missile system jointly developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia’s NPOM, launchable from land, aircraft, ships and submarines. BrahMos is a modification of Soviet-era anti-ship missiles (Oniks, Yakont) developed by the Reutov Design Bureau in the late 1980s. The name is derived from India’s Brahmaputra and Russia’s Moskva rivers. The first test launch was conducted on June 12, 2001, at the Chandipur range in Odisha, India, and subsequently, the production of missiles began at enterprises in both countries. Development of these cruise missiles is a natural progression for India, in seeking to develop various platforms for its military arsenal, either on its own or with a partner — but nevertheless, in India, and thus it became the first Make in India venture. BrahMos is technically a ramjet-powered supersonic cruise missile with a solid propellant booster that can be launched from land-based canisters, submarines, ships and now aircraft. Travelling at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0, it is the world’s fastest cruise missile, about three-and-a-half times faster than the American subsonic Harpoon cruise missile. Since its maiden successful test firing conducted on June 12, 2001, BrahMos has undergone a record number of over 70 flight tests to date from land, sea, sub-sea and air platforms, thereby validating its multifarious capability to completely annihilate high-value ground and sea-based targets with ultimate speed, pin-point accuracy and devastating firepower in all weather conditions by day and night.

One can therefore broadly say that India has been the world’s leading arms importer over the past decade.

Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5c7911bp Journal IGCC Defense Innovation Briefs, 2014(7) Author BITZINGER, Richard A. Publication Date 2014 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California IGCC Defense Innovation Briefs January 2014 The State of Defense Innovation in India: Can It Catch Up with Global Leaders? Richard A. BITZINGER S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies India, like China, is an aspiring great power that has long harbored the goal of possessing a technologically ad- vanced self-sufficient arms industry—a quest for autarky and stature that has the country’s determination of one day becoming a major arms-producing nation, capable of meeting most, if not all its requirements for self-defense through indigenous means. As India’s economic power has expanded, and as its technological prowess in certain areas (such as information technologies) has grown, it has become more determined than ever to create a world- class, globally competitive defense industry.1 Like China, India possesses one of the largest and most broad-based defense industries in the developing world. It produces fighter aircraft, surface combatants, submarines, tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, artillery systems, and small arms.
