Transformation of Indian Naval Aviation Post New Inductions Rikeesh Sharma* The need for credible surveillance over the high seas forms the bedrock and foundation of infallible maritime security, and Maritime Reconnaissance (MR) is the basic input for any successful maritime operation. For the last two decades, Indian naval aviation assets have been dependant on the Ilyushin (IL), the Tuplov (TU) aircraft, the Kamov (KM) 31 and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The Fleet Air Defence has also received a fillip by the induction of the MIG 29Ks. At the same time, the need for Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance (LRMR) tasking has taken a giant leap forward with the Indian Ocean becoming a common operational ground and a global common for numerous navies.

But now, the Growler’s in danger. Without funding for new Growlers, the production line will close at the end of 2016, leaving the U.S. Vineta Plume Navy without future Growlers. Closing the line would also affect nearly 60,000 jobs around the country and leave the military without competing sources for additional fi ghter aircraft. The time to act is now.

    US-2: The JMSDF Air-Sea Rescue Flying Boat US-2: The JMSDF Air-Sea Rescue Flying Boat A Proud Technological Tradition and Prospects for the Future Kazumine Akimoto, Senior Research Fellow, Ocean Policy Research Foundation Yuko Takada, Maritime Affairs Division, Ocean Policy Research Foundation Amphibious aircraft for air-sea rescue operations in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) fleet have flown on over 960 search-and-rescue missions to date and have saved numerous lives, among the most prominent being newscaster Jiro Shinbo and blind sailor Mitsuhiro Iwamoto, whose yacht Eorasu Issue capsized in the Pacific on June 21, 2013. The latest model, the US-2, is considered the world’s finest flying boat developed with leading-edge technology. The Ministry of Defense has approved the sharing of this technology with the civilian sector, and with the government considering the easing of its Three Principles on Arms Exports, other countries, including India, have shown interest in acquiring the aircraft. Amphibious flying boats are highly versatile, and the range of potential uses—not only in Japan but also in many other countries—is expanding, from policing illegal fishing operations and surveying the marine environment to providing disaster relief. On August 2, 2013, the authors visited the Konan Plant of ShinMaywa Industries in Kobe where the US-2 is being manufactured and were given an explanation of the aircraft’s technology, its features and performance, applications, market demand, and technological and usage prospects. The authors also visited the JMSDF Atsugi Air Base on October 10 to inspect a US-2 that was on standby for a rescue operation and interviewed its crew.
