Thankx guys. Just to clear the air here… I never said Sky watch is being retained. All I meant to show with the pix was that It is still some kind of phased array radar. Now, can someone provide more information regarding the new radar pl? I tried google and came up with not much content.

With Regards,

Thankx dan. Come on Guys… Nearly 50 people have viewed and just one reply?

I tried finding the EW fit for gorshkov b4 posting it here but could not find any current link. I vaguely remember that an Indian company, state-owned Kerala State Electronics, was to provide the Dual Channel Under Water Telephone (UWT). Other than that, I have no information.

Anyways, I went thru the pdf and it said

“From what is known, it was planned as a highly sophisticated integrated air-battle management system, in many respects resembling the SCANFAR principle rather than the contemporary aegis. It was clearly not meant to provide weapons control in the manner that Aegis/SPY-1 controls SM-2 missiles in flight.”

What does integrated air-battle management system do? Does it mean it acts as a AWACS?

“What is known is that severe problems were encountered with the system software rather than the actual hardware.”

Is this system going to be when gorshkov is delivered to IN or is it going to be replaced?

Atleast if we try to find the new EW fit, this thread can be a reference source.

With Regards,

Well The italian company makes both torpedo – heavy and light as well as countermeasures. The whitehead alenia sistemi subacquei link gives more information about the torpedos. The MU90/Impact ALWT specification looks more like that of our own light torpedo. hope IN has this and not the old A.244/S Mod.3. They also manufacture countermeasures . So Flanker 101 do u know what exactly is the decoy?
