Bright beams of sunlight reectedon rows of dignitaries and dele-gates at Delhis Pragati Maidan on

Saturday as Defence Minister A.K. Anto-ny inaugurated Defexpo 08. Fi h in theseries, the biennial defence exhibition of land and naval forces is jointly organisedby Indias Ministry of Defence and theCII. Over 475 exhibitors from more than30 countries are participating at Defexpothis year with 48 official overseas delega-tions scheduled to attend 16 seminars.

In his inaugural speech, Antony high-lighted the growing synergy and coopera-tion between the government, the publicsector and the private sector in the elds

of defence products manufacturing, R&Dand the growing trend of sharing technol-ogy and alliances in defence production.A lot of small, medium and large com-panies from the Indian private sector arenow entering into defence productionand manufacturing and many of these aretying up with foreign rms for technol-ogy and product collaboration. As a resultof these alliances and forging of new rela-

tionships between Indian companies andforeign rms in the defence sector, many Indian players have evolved from beingsub-system suppliers to becoming systemintegrators, the minister said, speakinghighly of the growing capabilities of many Indian companies.

Taking cognisance of the evolving needsand requirements of the defence industry in India, its growing levels of maturity and competence, the minister pointed tothe fresh amendments and changes car-ried out in Indias defence procurementand offset policies in recent years. esepolicies are constantly under review withthe aim to make them more transparentand user-friendly. e Defence Ministerwas accompanied by the Minister of State

for Defence Production, Rao InderjeetSingh, Secretary of Defence Vijay Singh,Secretary Defence Production PradeepKumar and Chairman CII, NationalCommittee on Defence, Atul Kirloskar.

Delivering the vote of thanks, Kirlos-kar said: Today, theres an open environ-ment between the public and the privatesector, which is conducive to the growthand evolution of R&D.

LOCKHEED MARTIN RAISES A TOAST

O n the eve of Defexpo 2008, Lockheed Martinheld a glittering do to highlight the companysgrowing operations and business in India.Emphasising on the companys efforts to increase itsfootprint in India, Ambassador Douglas A. Hartwicksaid, Ever since the opening of Lockheed MartinsIndia office early this year, the company is exploringways to reach out to the government, the industry andthe scientic community in the country. Expressingsatisfaction at the successful conclusion of the C-130Jdeal for the Indian Air Force, Hartwick hoped the dealwould serve as the catalyst for future deals. We bring

a long-term commitment to India and would look outfor forging partnership with the government and theprivate and public sectors in India.

In the course of his presentation, Hartwick observedthat the company was very much in the contention forIndias proposed Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircra(MMRCA) deal. Te F-16 is ideally suited to the re-quirements of Indias defence forces and its congura-tions would optimally match Indian requirements,the ambassador said. He also spoke of how LockheedMartins products, like the Patriot missiles, maritimesystems like the P-3C Orion, MS2 radar/warning/com-bat system and the MH60R surveillance aircra , wouldideally match the needs of the Indian Navy. We are indiscussion with the Indian government with regard to

some of these products which could lend an edge tosurveillance and submarine warfare capability of theIndian forces, he said.

INS MARITIME ROLES

The Indian Navy (IN) isabove all, an instrumentof state policy, and its pri-mary purpose is to safeguard the

nations vital maritime interests.For a very long time, our strategicelite retained the deeply embed-ded perception that India was a continental power.

e opening up of our economy in the early 1990s,and its consequent globalisation, has changed thesearchaic mindsets. It is now obvious that Indias eco-nomic resurgence, based on overseas trade and en-ergy resources, depends heavily on maritime secu-rity. India is as dependant on the seas for economicwell-being and security as any island nation.

In such a scenario, the IN has a vast range of roles toplay in the arena of maritime security, from peacetimedeterrence (both conventional and nuclear) to actualwar ghting and destruction of all threats to our mari-time security. Navies are unique in that their peace-time role is just as important as wartime missions. Itis during times of peace that navies, operating on theborderless medium of the high seas, reach out to neigh-bours, near and distant and create bonds of friendshipthrough deployments/exercises which can prove usefulin times of crisis. e role of navies in swi ly renderinghumanitarian aid during natural disasters is just oneexample of such international cooperation.

Challenges & ConundrumsWhile the new Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP2006) has streamlined and codied many processes,it is not yet evident whether it has actually served tosimplify, abridge or expedite in any way the torturousacquisition methodology followed in India. e opac-

ity, slowness and non-responsive nature of the Indiansystem are possibly the biggest challenges faced by for-eign companies attempting to deal with India.

Foreigners trying to deal with the Indian sys-tem under these conditions denitely need localassistance, but the confusion regarding legality of middlemen and the difficult process of registeringlocal representatives continues to confuse them. emost serious question mark, challenge and conun-drum for a foreign rm, of course, remains that of political corruption, and whether they need to makeillegal payments to gain an Indian contract. is canonly be resolved by bringing total transparency intothe system, including the murky area of collection of election funds by political parties.

However, the government of India needs to con- vey a clear and unambiguous reassurance to foreign vendors (perhaps at the RFP stage) that the systemis completely clean and open, and that they shouldnot get involved with so called power-brokers andmanipulators who claim to exert inuence in highplaces in return for a percentage. In fact, any ap-proach from such parties must be reported by themso that such inuence peddlers can be apprehendedand dealt with under the law of the land.

Level Playing FieldA genuine change of heart (and policies) on the part of the Department of Defence Production & Supplies isnecessary before a level playing eld becomes availableto the private sector. Once the private sector becomes

a player in the defence production sector, this wouldopen up a major opportunity for foreign defence com-panies to re-align their marketing strategies.

CLEAN & OPENPOLICYFormer Indian Navy Chief Admiral Arun Prakashclaried on a variety of current issues

The Indian Policy

Is the policy applicable to all defence imports? No. e policy is applicable only to those purchaseswhere indicative cost is over Rs 300 crore in respect of

Buy, Buy and Make with Transfer of Technology andship-building cases. us, offset threshold has beenxed at Rs 300 crore.What is the value of offset demanded by India? e minimum level xed by India is 30 per cent. How-ever, higher value may be stipulated for specic cases.For example, India is demanding 50 per cent offsetsin the case of 126 ghter aircra under procurement.What happens in case of joint ventures? In the case of joint ventures where Indian rm is bid-ding, the foreign partner will have to discharge offsetobligation. Offsets are not applicable to indigenously developed products offered by Indian companies.How is offset obligation calculated in respect of productswhich contain imported components? For products which contain imported components,only the value addition in India will count towardsoffset obligations.Is there any time limit to complete offset obligation? Offset obligation is to be completed coterminous withthe main contract.How can offset obligation be discharged? rough any of the following routes: Direct purchase of or executing export orders fordefence products and services provided by Indian de-fence industries. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Indian defenceindustries for industrial infrastructure for services,co-development, joint ventures and co-production of defence products. FDI in Indian organisations engaged in defence R&D,

as certied by Defence Offsets Facilitation Agency.What is implied by Indian defence industry? It includes Defence PSUs, the Ordnance Factory Boardand any private defence industry manufacturing theseproducts or components under an industrial licencegranted for such manufacture.Which services count towards the fulllment of offsets? Services mean maintenance, overhaul, up-gradation,life extension, engineering, design, testing, and de-fence related so ware or quality assurance services.Does India accept transfer of technology against offset obligations? Not at present.Which Government agency deals with defence offsets? A Defence Offset Facilitation Agency (DOFA) hasbeen established as a single window under the De-partment of Defence Production (MoD) to facilitateimplementation of offset policy, vet offset proposalstechnically, provide advisory clarications on policy and procedures (in consultation with the AcquisitionWing, where necessary) and assist vendors in interfac-ing with industry for identifying potential offset prod-ucts/projects.What are the contact details of DOFA? Director (P&C) is the designated officer for interfacewith the industry and the Acquisition Wing.Directorate of Planning & CoordinationMinistry of Defence,Department of Defence ProductionRoom No. 15, H Block, DHQ PO,New Delhi 110 011

Tele. No: 011-2301 1420 Fax No: 011-2379 3032Email: [email protected] offset banking permitted in India?

Offset banking is not allowed in India at present.Who selects Indian partners for offsets? A foreign vendor is at full liberty to select Indian part-ner/partners for fullling offset obligation.Does a vendor benet by offering offsets higher than

prescribed? No preference/credit is given for extra offsets offered.In other words, type and quantum of offset offer hasno bearing on the determination of the successful vendor. All proposals which meet minimum offset re-quirement are to be treated at par.What are the documents that a vendor has to submit? Based on offset provisions mentioned in Request forProposal (RFP), a vendor is required to give a simpleundertaking to fulll the obligation with his techni-cal officer. Vendor has to accept that failure to meetobligation will disqualify him at any stage from fur-ther participation. Technical Offset Offer (TOO) andCommercial Offset Officer (COO) are to be submittedin two separate covers to the Technical Manager by thedate specied in RFP, which will not be later than 3months of submission of the main offers. TOO shouldcontain details of products, services and investmentproposals indicating relative percentages and proposedIndian partners. e commercial values of the offsetproposals are not to be indicated in TOO. e Tech-nical Manager will constitute a committee to shortlist vendors whose offset offers meet parameters. COOshould contain particulars specifying absolute amountof offsets with a break up of details, phasing, Indianpartner, etc. ese will be opened with main commer-cial bids by the Commercial Negotiation Committee. At what stage is the offset contract signed? Offset contract is signed with the main contract.Can a vendor delay execution of main contract on the plea of inability of Indian offset partner to execute offset

contract? No. e vendor has to adhere to contracted schedule.What happens in case fulllment of offsets gets delayed? Vendor may request re-phasing with reasons withinthe currency of the main contract. Director General(Acquisition) in MoD can accord sanction if the rea-sons are considered justied. Sanction for extensionof offset fulllment period beyond main contract onexceptional grounds can be given by the Defence Pro-curement Board. Any further extension needs concur-rence of the Defence Acquisition Council (under thechairmanship of the Defence Minister).

A penalty equivalent to 5 per cent of unfullledportion of the annual offset obligation will be imposedon the defaulter. It could either be recovered from thebank guarantee of the main contract (subject to replen-ishment) or deducted from the amount payable underthe main contract. Additionally, the unfullled offset value will be carried forward to the subsequent year.A vendor failing to complete offset obligation duringthe period of main contract (or during the period ex-tended) will be debarred by the Acquisition Wing forfuture, a er being giving due opportunity to explain.How is implementation of offsets monitored? A vendor is required to submit quarterly reports ina given format. DOFA assists the Acquisition Wingin monitoring implementation of the offset contract.Where necessary, an audit by a nominated official oragency may be conducted to conrm the actual statusof implementation.Is the Indian defence offset policy under revision?

e government is open to suggestions. e offset pol-icy will be reviewed in 2008 when revision of DefenceProcurement Procedure2006 is undertaken.

First public security TETRA network in India

Final set up will cover an area of 3,600 square kilometres

EADS Defence & Security has been awarded India rst public security TET-RA radio network contract by the police of the state of Andhra Pradesh, In-dia. e new network will cover the region of Cyberabad, the high tech hubthat surrounds the city Hyderabad whose multilingual culture, both geographically and culturally, is a very strong root for the current India great economic growth.

EADS Secure Networks, an integrated line of business of EADS Defence & Se-curity (DS), has teamed up with its local partner Sanchar Telesystems to providethe Cyberabad police a complete end-to-end GPS based digital communicationsolution providing best in class voice and data communication applications. issolution will enable security forces to cover and protect the sixth largest metropoli-

tan area of India. is area is a modern hub for IT, information technology enabledservices and biotechnology.It is a real breakthrough for EADS Secure Networks on the Indian market as the

country is going through major investment in infrastructure in general to addressand compliment its spectacular economic growth. Modernization of its publicsecurity forces to secure the modern high-tech growth regions and nancial andcommercial centers is thus a top priority both at the federal and local levels. A era complete and demanding selection process, we opted for EADS Secure Networksfor our police network because we know that they will deliver and we appreci-ated their superior performances. Our policemen on the ground needed such anupgrade to the most modern and robust technology to ensure the security of this very densely populated area said Ray Vinay Ranjann, Director of Communicationof the Andhra Pradesh police.

We are very honored and happy that Andhra Pradesh police has chosen us, af-ter extensive tests and demonstration, to supply, implement and commission thismission critical state-of-the-art digital communication network. It will clearly upgrade the Cyberabad police capabilities and enable better coverage and pro-

tection of the area. Besides, our exible and interoperable system ts perfectly with the local multilingual melting pot. said Jean-Marc Nasr, President of EADSSecure Networks.

MISSILE SYSTEMS

BANGon target

Amissile can be dened as a self-propelled, explosive projectile used as aweapon to destroy a target. Missiles are typically propelled by rockets, but

other engines such as ramjet, turbojet and turbofan engines can also beused. e Fieseler Fi 103, better known as V-1, was the rst guided missile used inwar and the forerunner of todays cruise missile. On June 13, 1944, the rst V-1struck London next to the railway bridge on Grove Road, Mile End, which nowcarries this plaque. Eight civilians were killed in the blast. e word missile comesfrom the Latin verb mittere, literally meaning to send. Missiles that have the abil-ity to manoeuvre through the air can be guided and are known as guided missiles.ese have three key system components:

Tracking Guidance FlightA tracking system locates the missiles target. is can be either by a missile crew

aiming a sight on the target (remotely from the missile) or an automatic tracker.Automatic trackers use radiation emanating from the target or emitted from thelaunch platform and reecting back to it from the target. Passive automatic trackersuse the targets inherent radiation, usually heat or light. Active automatic trackersrely on the target being illuminated by radiation. A guidance system takes datafrom the missiles tracking system and ight system and computes a ight path forthe missile designed to intercept the target. It produces commands for the ightsystem. e ight system causes the missile to manoeuvre. ere are two main sys-tems: vectored thrust (for missiles that are powered throughout the guidance phaseof their ight) and aerodynamic maneuvering (wings, ns, canards, and so on).

Missile GuidanceMissile guidance can be carried out by a variety of methods and its effectiveness (SingleShot Kill Probability) is dependant upon the accuracy of guidance. Guidance systemsare divided into different categories according to what type of target they are designedfor. e trajectory that a missile takes while attacking a moving target is dependentupon the movement of the target. Also, a moving target can be an immediate threatand needs to be destroyed well in time. e problem is simpler for a static target.

Moving TargetTo engage a moving target, a target tracker, a missile tracker and a guidance com-puter are required. ese three subsystems can be distributed between the missileand the launcher in two different ways: Remote Control Guidance: e guidance computer is on the launcher. e tar-get tracker is also placed on the launching platform. Homing Guidance: Guidance computers are in the missile and in target tracker.

Remote Control Guidanceese guidance systems usually need the use of radars and a radio or wired link be-tween the control point and the missile. In other words, the trajectory is controlledwith the information transmitted via radio or wire. Systems include: Command Guidance: e missile tracker is on the launching platform. esemissiles are totally controlled by the launching platform that sends all control or-

ders to the missile. e two variants are:Command to Line-Of-Sight

Command Off Line-Of-Sight Line-Of-Sight Beam Riding Guidance: emissile tracker is onboard the missile. It has someorientation capability, in order to y inside thebeam that the launching platform is using to illu-minate the target. It can be manual or automatic.

Homing GuidanceActive Homing: Active homing uses a radar sys-tem on the missile to provide a guidance signal.Active radar systems remain in widespread use inanti-shipping missiles, and in re-and-forget air-to-air missile systems such asAMRAAM and R-77.Semi-Active Homing: Semi-active homing systems combine a radar receiver onthe missile with a radar broadcaster located elsewhere.Passive Homing: Infrared homing is a passive system in which heat generated by the target is detected and homed on. Also commonly referred to as heat seeking.Retransmission Homing: Retransmission homing, also called Track Via Missile(TVM), is a hybrid between command guidance, semi-active radar homing andactive radar homing. e missile picks up radiation broadcast by the tracking radarwhich bounces off the target and relays it to the tracking station, which relays com-mands back to the missile.

Static TargetFor static targets only navigational guidance is required which does not need a tar-get tracker. ere are many types of navigational guidance like Inertial Guidance,Preset Guidance, Celestial Guidance, Terrestrial Guidance, Magnetic Guidance,Satellite Navigation and Hyperbolic Navigation. ere are various types of mis-siles like surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, air-to-surface, air-to-air, ship-to-ship,submarine-to-submarine, and so on. Some examples are as follows.

Patriot Missile Air Defence SystemPatriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather air defence system to counter tacti-cal ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and advanced aircra . Patriot (MIM-104) isproduced by Raytheon Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. Apart from US,Patriot is in service in Egypt, Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, the Nether-lands, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan. Patriot missile systems were deployed by US forcesduring Operation Iraqi Freedom. e Patriot missile is equipped with a Track-Via-Missile guidance system. Midcourse correction commands are transmitted tothe guidance system from the mobile engagement control centre. e range of themissile is 70 km and maximum altitude is greater than 24 km. Raytheon has devel-oped the Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missile (GEM-T), an upgrade to the PAC-2missile. Another improved version is called Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3)missile which has increased effectiveness against tactical ballistic and cruise mis-siles, through the use of advanced hit-to-kill technology.

TTE--TTE | COAS

Structures already in place for joint intelligenceGeneral Deepak Kapoor took over as Chief of Army Staff on October 1, 2007

SPs:What are the key issues on which you will focus during your tenure? COAS: My thrust areas, in essence reect continuity with change, with emphasison high degree of operational preparedness at all levels, more focused use of ourintelligence assets, sustaining the tempo in low intensity conicts and a greater

attention to modernisation. We will continue to work consciously towards inte-grating force multipliers into our war ghting machinery.

SPs: Considering that the challenges faced by India are varied, what parameters are being kept in mind while structuring the army? Are any radical changes being contemplated? COAS: e present structure of the army is based on threat-based capability, butwe are now also looking at capability-based requirements. erefore, a combina-tion of threat-cum-capability requirements approach is being adopted to evolvethe future structure of our army.

SPs:Have our offensive capabilities, especially in the mountains, become more potent as a result of new Force Multipliers? COAS: Force Multipliers (FMs) arebeing inducted with a view to achievesuperiority over the adversary. Ourfocus has been on achieving battle-eld transparency through improvedsurveillance, night vision and targetacquisition. e impact of these ca-pabilities is multiplied through appro-priate interface between Seeker andShooter, reducing the reaction timeand ensuring precision engagements.

SPs: What is the status of jointness among the three services? COAS: e three services have madea good start towards achieving joint-ness in various operational, trainingand administrative facets. e struc-tures are already in place for joint

intelligence, planning and conduct of operations at the highest level. A jointoperational command in Andamanand Nicobar and the Strategic Forcescommand have already been set up.Additionally, joint doctrines havebeen formulated to enhance synergy in optimization and application of the efforts of the three Services.

SPs: Is the armys requirement for closeand responsive support being carefullyconsidered before the nal choice of the126 new combat aircra is made? COAS: e proposed Medium MultiRole Combat Aircra (MMRCA) tobe acquired by the IAF are multifac-eted aircra with diverse capabilitiesfor both counter air and surface oper-ations, including provisions for closeand responsive air support to groundforces during all stages of operations.Considering the employment of this versatile multi-role platform, all facetsof its combat operations, includingemployment in support of groundforces, have been factored in.

SPs:Comment on the role of air power in predominantly land operations.COAS: Air power plays a signicant

role in shaping the battleeld for con-duct of land operations. However, nosingle service can achieve the stated

objectives all by itself. In the prevailing operational envi-ronment, total synergy is required between the three services. Air Land Operations Doctrine is being formulatedby Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff to optimise the

effect of all available resources. We have forwarded our views to incorporate therequirements of land forces for synergised application of the air resources, es-pecially with regard to provision of close air support to the ground forces, on apredominantly land-centric battleeld.

SPs: Is the Indian Army planning any major increase in the numbers and capabili-ties of Special Forces? COAS: Special Forces are a force multiplier and SF capabilities are factored in ouroperational scenarios. Based on our operational requirement, the Special Forcesare being modernised to include reorganisation, consolidation of existing assets,procurement of state-of-the-art equipment and training.

Raytheon is the leader in torpedo technologyUpinder Dhinsa, Vice President, Maritime Mission Systems,Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems

SPs: What are the projects being considered byRaytheon and under discussion with officials of thethree services and the Indian government? Dhinsa: In the long run, we hope the Indian gov-ernment, industry and services will look to Ray-

theon Integrated Defense Systems as a preferred partner. Fortunately, we haveachieved several export approvals for technology and knowledge transfer to India.At the same time, we are listening and learning from the customers herethecoast guard, the navy, the armyto really understand how we can do better, howwe can establish partnerships, how we can work with local companies and actu-ally collaborate with them.

SPs:In India, what is the scope or potential in Integrated Defence Systems (IDS)? Dhinsa: ere is massive scope in India for IDS, including in the Navy, the Army,the Air Force and the Coast Guard, domain and situational awareness and assetprotection. It can even include some of our applications in the medical eld aswell as some of the applications that may ultimately go into agriculture.

SPs:What is Raytheons experience in air space systems? Dhinsa: IDS would be heavily involved in air defence, as also missile defence.But for electronic warfare in air defence, the requisite expertise within Raytheonrests with space and air borne systems. When we talk about air defence, we arealso talking about anti-air warfare. We also address protection of any eet froman air attack. And thats an area in which IDS boasts of excellent capabilities. Inmaritime, our command and control systems are tted on all US submarines.

Raytheon is also into a partnership with Australia and delivering systems on theCollins class submarinea very successful programme. We are the sole providersof torpedoes to the US and have delivered over 30,000 torpedoes worldwide to

27-plus countries. Raytheon is the leader in torpedo technology.

SPs:Indian Navy Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta recently pointed out that normally,the average ageing for a war ship or carrier is 25 years but can be prolonged to 35.INS Viraat is about 40 years and Kitty Hawk even more. But he also emphasised it needs electronics updation at least once in 10 years.

Dhinsa: A very solid partnership between the shipbuilder and the electronicsprovider is absolutely essential. And I dont mean electronic products provider, Imean electronics systems integrator like Raytheon. Raytheons view has been thatrst the mission should be dened. What is the mission of a particular ship? Anaircra carrier has a different mission than a destroyer or a frigate. Once the mis-sion is dened, it dictates what systems should be selected and the systems in turndictate what the hull should be like. One of Raytheons successes has been in thedevelopment of open architecture where we do not have to tear apart the entireship in mid-life and completely overhaul it. We can actually modernise it withouthaving to tear it apart. So if its a 25-year lifecycle, we can easily extend it withelectronics upgrade once every two to three years as needed. at fast.

SPs:Wouldnt increased frequency of accreditation attract more cost factors? Dhinsa: Actually it would reduce cost over time because of the pace at which elec-tronics is developing. One does not need to upgrade all aspects of it all the timeand instead, improve on the unique aspects of key systems like SATCOM, Radars,Quality of Life, Antenna Systems, Voice Over IP and Automation.

SPs:How does Raytheon hope to exploit Indias offset policy?

Dhinsa: We plan to transfer advanced systems engineering knowledge base to India.

India & Boeing Make For Win-Win RelationsJim Albaugh, President & CEO, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems

SPs:Brie y trace the history of Boeing IDS since its inception asalso the companys association with India.Jim Albaugh (JA): Boeing has had a long and successful col-laboration with India that dates back more than six decades.

India entered the jet age on the wings of Boeing jetlinerswhich continue to be the mainstay of the countrys domesticand intercontinental commercial eets. Having made consid-erable progress Boeing IDS currently nds itself in conten-tion to sell 8 P-8I Maritime Patrol/Anti-Submarine Warfareplanes to the Indian Navy, and preparing to o er the F/A-18Super Hornet to the Indian Air Force. Tis is a new marketfor Boeing products and services and Boeing wants to be akey player in it. Te Indian MRCA is the biggest internationalcompetition in which IDS has been involved. India has a richportfolio of globally competitive technology and engineeringservices and Boeing has an equally rich portfolio of defenceproducts and services. We believe selecting Boeing as Indias preferred partner indefence would be a win-win opportunity for both India and Boeing.

SPs:What is the extent, structure and size of representation of Boeing IDS in India? JA: Boeing has an o ce in Delhi led by country President Dr Ian Tomas, alongwith other business unit leads. Currently, Boeing has 30 employees in India. IDSsta , led by IDS Vice President and country lead Dr Vivek Lall, include businessdevelopment and supplier management executives.

SPs:Which are the Indian companies with whom Boeing has entered into strategic partnership or is holding dialogues with? JA: On the IDS side, Boeing signed an MoU in December 2007 with HindustanAeronautics Limited (HAL) with the goal of transferring up to $1 billion (Rs 4,000crore) in aerospace work to HAL over the coming 10 years. At Aero India in Feb-ruary 2007, we entered into an MoU with L& to jointly explore business oppor-tunities in the India defence market. We will be announcing additional teamingarrangements in the not-too-distant future.

SPs:What is the current situation with regard to the proposal for acquisition of the

Chinook heavy li helicopters for the Indian Armed Forces? JA: Te MoD has expressed interest in the CH-47 Chinook as part of its heavy lirequirement. As of this moment, an RFP has not been issued but we understandone may be released early in 2008.

SPs: Any major arms contract with India involves a 30 to 50 per cent mandatoryo set clause. Would Boeing be able to meet this requirement? JA: While we acknowledge the complexities and challenges of Indias o set require-ments, Boeing is enthusiastic and is putting the pieces together to meet the require-ments. Boeing does not look at o sets as obligations, but as long term opportunitiesto bring win-win business and mutual industrial bene ts. o date, Boeing has suc-cessfully met more than $27 billion (Rs 1,07,082 crore) in o sets around the world.Were anxious to bring that same experience and the same results to India.

SPs:Recently, Boeing signed a $1 billion outsourcing contract with HAL to manufac-ture military hardware. Is this a trial run in anticipation of the MMRCA contract? JA: Tere is no such assurance. Tere are no contingencies or strings attached tothis MoU. It would be nice to get credits, but Boeing has struck this deal withHAL because it makes good business sense for us.

SPs:What is the status of the Indian Navys (IN) plans to acquire maritime surveil-lance aircra ? What advantages does the P-8I have over the P3C Orion? JA: Boeing is o ering the IN a unique variant of its P-8A anti-submarine, anti-sur-face warfare aircra , currently in production for the US Navy. Te P-8I combines theworlds most advanced anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare technologies withthe worlds most reliable airframe, to provide India with advanced electronics, speedand time-on-station and the best solution for protecting Indias vast peninsular coastline. Te P8-I o ers India a maritime patrol aircra that could enhance US and In-dian naval cooperation for the next 30-plus years. Te MoD is still evaluating thecompetitive bids and is expected to make a nal downselect decision in early 2008.

SPs:How do you assess your chances of bagging the MMRCA deal with the F/A-18? JA: Were up against some formidable contenders, some of whom have a longerhistory in Indias defence market than we do. Tat said, Id say our chances are

good, and here are some reasons why. Te Super Hornet isthe most capable, combat-proven, multi-role ghter in theworld today. It is the backbone of the US Navys force projec-tion and is called upon to carry out many of the Pentagons

most important and demanding combat missions, while con-tinuing to notch important milestones. Boeing has deliveredmore than 320 Super Hornets to the US Navy, all delivered onor ahead of schedule. On March 6, 2007, Australia declaredits intention to buy 24 Super Hornets for the Royal AustralianAir Force (RAAF).

Te Government of India has acknowledged the impor-tance of Life Cycle Costs, and will factor this key discrimina-tor into its choice for the Indian Air Forces new, multi-rolecombat aircra . A very large part of the Super Hornets ap-peal to the USN is a ordability. In fact, the U.S. Navy andBoeing have worked together to design the Super Hornet to

be a ghter that wont see a scheduled visit to a maintenance depot until it hasclocked a minimum of 6,000 hours of ying time. Until then, scheduled mainte-nance o en consists of little more than checking the tires, refueling the aircra ,and cleaning the windshield. Te alternatives o ered by the Super Hornets com-petitors o en require removing a ghter from service for months at a time forstructural refurbishment and other depot-level requirements.

Te F/A-18E/F Super Hornets in the eet today are already equipped withmany next-generation technologies and capabilities.

Te Super Hornet also boasts an advanced targeting pod, known as the Ad- vanced actical Forward Looking Infrared (A FLIR), for exceptional air-to-ground performance, as well as a Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)for enhanced aircrew situational awareness and combat lethality.

SPs: e response to RFP for MMRCA is expected in by March 2008. Is Boeing likely to submit the response in time or are you contemplating ling for extensionof deadline? JA: Boeing anticipates ling its proposal by March 3rd or before.

SPs:Is Boeing IDS participating in Indias Space programme in any way and if so

to what extent? JA: Boeing is not currently participating in Indias space program.

SPs: e military industrial complex in the USA is in private hands but there is government control over export of defence related equipment. To what extent doesthis impinge on the commercial objectives of the industry? JA: Te international release of US defence technology is an issue that we face as aUS defence contractor, and which our non-US competitors do not. However, notethat the relationship between the United States and India has improved markedly in the last three years, and there is a strategic defence alliance developing betweenthe two countries inspiring increasing trust and greater willingness by the US toconsider release of some sensitive US defence technology to India. Of course, thatdecision belongs to the US government alone.

SPs:Could you please throw some light on Collaboration with Northrop Grummanin projects in India current as well those envisaged in the future? JA: Boeings collaboration with Northrop Grumman in India is limited to theHornet Industry eam (HI ) the consortium of US companies (along with GE,Raytheon, Honeywell, GKN, EFW/Elbit, Moog, Smiths, and Goodrich) whoseproducts and technology will be built into the F/A-18 Super Hornet currently of-fered to India in the MMRCA competition.

SPs:Does the Blended Wing Body have a military application? JA: Te Advanced Systems organization of Boeing Integrated Defence Systems(IDS) is closely monitoring the research based on the BWBs potential as a exible,long-range, high-capacity military aircra .

Te Boeing BWB design resembles a ying wing, but di ers in that the wingblends smoothly into a wide, at, tailless fuselage. Tis fuselage blending helps toget additional li with less drag compared to a circular fuselage. Tis translates toreduced fuel use at cruise conditions. And because the engines mount high on theback of the aircra , there is less noise inside and on the ground when it is in ight.

We believe the BWB concept has the potential to cost e ectively ll many rolesrequired by the Air Force, such as tanking, weapons carriage, and command andcontrol.

Maintenance of ships and submarines is ahighly technical and exacting job. Manualsreveal details of the frequency and tasks tobe covered during the planned maintenance cycles, orret, as it is called in the navy. Ret can be carried outas early as two years depending upon the type of shipand laid out instructions. Upgrade or modernisationof ships is carried out as part of the mid life update(MLU) and is generally conned to weapons and sen-sors. A ships life is generally 25 to 30 years, but inIndian conditions it can be stretched to even beyondthe life cycle laid down by the manufacturer. us, theMLU update can be any time between 12 to 15 years.At present, a comprehensive modernisation packageis being taken up on the SSK/EKM Class submarines,SNF and Godavari Class ships to upgrade weaponsand sensors t during the MLUs. While the EKMclass modernisation package is being carried out atRussian shipyards, work on the remaining platformsis progressing in India.

Godavari Class: Godavari, Gomti and Ganga, thatcame into service around 1985-1988, are due for MLU,especially for weapons and sensors. e update is be-ing carried out at Naval Dockyard, Mumbai largely

with tment of indigenously developed sonars, radarsand communication systems.

SNF Class Destroyers: is class has ve shipsRa- jput, Rana, Ranjit, Ranvir and Ranvijaywhich cameinto service in a phased manner from the early 1980sand are at present undergoing MLUs in India. Whilesurface-to-surface supersonic missile BrahMos

would boost the re power considerably, long rangesurface-to-air missile capability with Multi FunctionRadar to be jointly developed by Indian and Israeliindustry is also being considered for tting out. enew generation Sonars HUMSA and USHUS, alongwith indigenously developed communication andcombat management system, would also be taken up

in phased manner during the MLUs.

SSK Submarines: Of German origin, these subma-rines were introduced in service in the mid-1980s.MLUs being carried out in India essentially includesindigenously developed surveillance devices like so-nars, communication systems and electronic supportmeasures, besides replacement of periscope, re con-trol system and so on. MLU of two submarines hasalready been carried out successfully.

EKM Submarines: Russias Type 877 Kilo Class diesel-electric submarines have gained the reputation of be-ing extremely quiet boats and are in service in variouscountries, including India. Indias Type 877EKM Sind-hugosh Class submarines are being sent to Russia formodernisation rets since 1997. e package includestorpedo tube-launched missiles, radars, re controlsystems, electronic support measures, periscope, sonarand communication systems. e goal is to bring themat parity with the more advanced Type 636 improvedKilo Class variants, INS Sindhushastra and Sindhurak-shak. Reportedly, some problems have cropped up re-lating to the performance of submarine-launched Klubmissiles which is being referred back to the contractorfor rectication during the ret.
